A new series of electric actuators
The Series 19 electric actuator (photo) is offered in both smart and basic options. Compact and lightweight, the Series 19 is available in four operating configurations: on/off, modulating, failsafe and modulating failsafe. Three sizes are available to meet valve torque requirements. The multi-voltage general purpose unit operates at a 75% duty cycle for more frequent cycling of the valve. Compatible with most programmable logic controllers (PLCs), the Series 19 is suitable for OEMs and skid manufacturers where space is at a premium, but power cannot be sacrificed. The Series 19 also features a corrosion-resistant NEMA 4X engineered-resin enclosure with stainless-steel trim to protect the unit’s reversing, brushless d.c. motor and permanently lubricated steel gear train. — Asahi/America, Inc., Lawrence, Mass.
