Standard electric actuators – multiposition

Product numbers

Jump to product numbers

Multiposition models can be used with any of our multiposition valves, including the old P type with external spring hardware. The manual controller has an LED display to indicate the current valve position, and allows the user to step sequentially from one position to the next or to return to Position 1 (Home) from any position.

A data system with momentary contact closures can direct the step and home functions; 5 VDC negative true logic outputs provide direct position access. A 20-conductor interface cable permits the system to step the actuator sequentially, move the actuator directly to any position, and read the actual valve position. (For more information on control options, refer to Technical Note 418.)

The actuator’s number of positions must be properly matched to the valve’s. Multiposition actuators are available in 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16 positions. If you are converting a manual valve to electric actuation and have any doubts about which actuator and hardware you need, contact our technical staff for assistance.

An actuator can be specified with closemount hardware, with a 2”, 3”, 4”, or 6” standoff, or with just the standoff mounting hardware, if your valve already has a standoff. Valves which will be mounted in ovens require a standoff assembly, which locates the actuator out of the heated zone.
