We have completed the build of a Limitorque MX actuator, fabricated extension spindle, adaptor plates and 500mm spool piece, the next part is delivery to the Central Highlands district of Victoria and provide site assistance with set-up and commissioning.
This actuator also includes C5 protective coating and Modbus communications interface.
This is a continuation to a previous post where Andrew Hartley conducted a sight survey at Dights Falls located on the Yarra River downstream of the Merri Creek.
The project has been delivered and installed. The result of this initiative provides a solution to the challenges of manually operating large valves and at times with significant turns for full travel.
Burrinjuck Dam is a WaterNSW asset, construction began in 1909, however due to shortages caused by WW1, was not completed for another 20 years.
During construction the dam was the forth largest in the world and holds a staggering 1,026,000 ML of water.
82 Years after this article was printed, today Limitorque products still lead the way in innovation and strategically placed Quick Response Centres (QRC).
Acrodyne Pty Ltd runs the Australian QRC, this enables us to build Limitorque electric actuators, both weatherproof and IECEX Exd actuators right here in Australia.
This is our end-of-line / torque test bench, every Limitorque actuator we build in Australia is tested on this bench, we typically can build up to 8 actuators per day, all on quick response, all from stock.
This is the only bench of its type in Australia and Acrodyne is the only company who has this capability in Australia, additionally we can build hazardous area actuators to IECEX, Acrodyne are nominated as “An Alternate Place Of Manufacturer” on the IECEX Certificate Of Conformity.
As Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Platinum Jubilee and 70 years of service, we thought it would be an appropriate time to share a picture of her conducting an honorary opening and operating a Limitorque SMA series electric actuator.
Pictured are Acrodyne’s AcroTorq spring return electric actuator, the SR range is available in 4 sizes up to a maximum torque of 300Nm.
The SR accepts single phase, 3-phase and DC voltage options.
An electro-magnetic brake locks the out-put shaft preventing the spring from releasing it’s energy.
Another batch of AcroMatic Pneumatic actuator packages ready to ship, these assemblies include–
*AcroMatic MT series actuators.
*AcroMatic Electro-pneumatic positioners
*AcroMatic filter/regulators
These are being supplied to a valve company for mounting on their valves.
All piping, set-up and testing is completed prior to shipment.
