Motor and Gear Train

  • Unique no-burnout motors for continuous modulation. There are no duty limitations typically found on other electric actuators.
  • Motor reaches full speed and torque in less than 50 milliseconds and stops within 25 milliseconds, eliminating deadtime.
  • Will not coast or overshoot.
  • All wide face spur gear construction virtually eliminates backlash, lubricated for life.
  • Minimum step size 0.10% configurable.

Electronics and Positioning Device

  • Factory Calibrated smart digital control electronics.
  • Contactless Position Sensor,no wearing parts,directly coupled to the gear train
  • No torque switches required.
  • HART or Fieldbus Foundation communication technologies available.
  • Local Handswitch.
