Valworx have launched their new line of electric actuators, the 5618a series.
Used for actuating quarter-turn ball valves, the 5618a series features several upgrades to the previous model, including:
• Highly visual dome-style position indicator
• CSA listed per UL 429 & CSA 22.2, CE mark
• 70 percent duty cycle
• Expanded temperature range (-22 F to +140 F)
• Long-life brushless motor for DC voltage EPS positioner models
• New 100 Nm size
The 5618a series is available for all Valworx valve types including stainless steel, lead-free brass and PVC ball valves. The actuators are available in positioner models, where the valve can be throttled via a 4-20mA control signal or simple on/off models. DC positioner models now feature a brushless motor, which features a higher duty cycle and greater resolution.
