The company that produces components for the regulation and interception of fluids and gases, Bonomi, has introduced its New Valbia® Series 86 quarter-turn electric actuator which features a powder-coated aluminum body, steel and techno-polymer gears, hardened steel pinions and self-lubricating bushings for long, reliable service in heavy industrial settings.
The new actuator is specifically designed for use with ball and butterfly valves. The product also offers a broad range of torques and standard features with a rugged body and gear train for maximum cycle life. The NEMA 4 cast aluminum body is polyester powder coated to keep environmental elements out. The gear train is made with steel and techno-polymer gears, supported by hardened steel pinions and mounted on self-lubricating bushings for long, reliable service.
Available in six sizes with maximum working torque ranging from 266 to 3100 inch-pounds, they adjust motor speed automatically depending on load variations. This ensures consistent cycle times. A dome-style position indicator is standard across the range. An electronic torque limiter is also standard. A standard heater is activated when the actuator is powered. The new actuators are built to ISO 5211-DIN3337 standards for easy direct mount installation on valves. They are available as separate components or on single-number automated valve packages with Bonomi butterfly valves and low-torque ball valves.
