Upgraded electric actuator for motorized valves

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.
