Frequently Asked Questions
What do electronic valve actuators do?
They control the opening & closing of the valves and provide either rotary or linear motion.
Are there any tool requirements for installing valve actuators?
Yes, users need a wire stripper and a small flat blade screwdriver for installing these valve actuators.
What is the difference between spring return & non-spring return valve actuators?
Spring return valve actuators have a spring mechanism to control the valve position and operational state. Non-spring return valves have no such mechanism.
How do valve positioners differ from control valves?
Valve positioners ensure that the valve has reached the needed degree of opening, whereas valve actuators move the valve's modulating element.
Do these actuators require installation clearance?
Yes, the minimum access space recommendation is 8 inches beside the terminal plug and above the actuator.
How can these actuators be mounted?
They can be mounted sideways and should not be mounted in the upside-down orientation.
