These units literally walk out the door! either mounted to a valve or actuator supply only. The AcroTorq SA series is a 90 degree electric actuator, (optional 270-Deg), IP67 enclosure with manual override and an illuminated local indicator dome. The smallest unit is rated to 30Nm and the the largest in the SR range is 90Nm, operational on single phase or 24VDC.

Richard preparing some valve extensions prior to assembly of valves and actuators. Our production team play a critical role in our overall capabilities in assisting in the best solutions for our actuation products, having the ability to design, fabricate and build actuators in-house is truly unique.

Frank Busse is doing some final checks-offs on a Limitorque L120 actuator prior to delivery to Loy Yang power station in the Latrobe Valley. Limitorque actuators have had a long service history with the plant since the early 1980’s spanning models including HMB, SMC, L120 and MX, the L120’s are optioned with extended duty motors which also have dual voltage connections, in addition we include an RVDT (Rotary variable differential transformer) providing loop powered 4-20madc output, the unit is a non-contacting device.

We are often requested to provide our Tamper-Proof-Covers for a number of reasons, including concealment of switches, local display and indicator lights in public areas or to permit large size lock clasps that normally would not fit onto the standard local-off-remote selector switch.

Actuators have been built, stem nuts screw cut and thrust bases adapted to the knife gate valves, the next step is assembly, set-up and test and if required video FAT for our customer. For us the process is easy, logistics are simplified and a fully tested actuator/valve package ready for installation streamlines the complete process.

This unit was installed in 1987 at the McGaurans Beach ocean outfall site known as SWOP (Saline Water Outfall Pipeline). The Limitorque SMC is fitted to a regulator valve and operated via a VSD (variable speed drive), I remember during commissioning the harmonics produced by lack of filtering by early VSD’s, fortunately VSD’s have progressed significantly since those days.
