Product Overview

AE Series
Actuators
25
Five Output Torques, One Housing
• 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1,000 inch-pounds
• Long Service Life
• Newly developed anodized die cast aluminum housing
• Fiberglass reinforced nylon cover resists corrosion
• Nitrile gasket and seals cover all penetration points in housing
and cover
• Precision cut and heat treated alloy spur gears
• Permanently lubricated enclosed gear train
• NEMA 4, 4X
Easy To Use
• Two separate 1/2” NPT conduit entrances for easier wiring and
signal separation
• 12-position pre-wired terminal strip includes standard connections
for remote open/closed position indicators; lots of room for wiring
options
• Unrestricted mounting orientation
• Built-in thermal overload protection in all AC motor actuators
• Limit switches have an 11 amp rating at 115 VAC
• High visibility valve position indicator standard on all models
Many Standard Features
• Stainless steel push-and-turn manual override shaft, position
indicator shaft and female output
• ISO 5211 F07 drive output reduces inventory of mounting kits
• 115 AC & 220 AC models feature a 25% duty cycle below 100˚F
(24AC — 20% duty cycle below 100˚F)
• 12 and 24 DC — all DC voltage models provide 100% duty
cycle for 1 hour after which DC motor is reduced to 80%
duty cycle.
• Reversible rotation
Broad Temperature Range
• Operates from -40˚F (when equipped with 15 watt heater and
thermostat) to 150˚F
Available Options
• Actuators can be ordered with one, two or three additional
limit switches
• For low temperatures: actuators can be equipped with a
thermostatically controlled heater element
• Motor brake is necessary when mounting actuator to a
butterfly valve
4-20mA Positioner Features (P - Option)
Advanced Protection Features
A) Stall Detection
Motor will not burn out from stalling
B) Fault Signal
a. Fault LED on DHC-100 front panel
C) Duty Cycle Protection
a. Allows actuators rated for 25% duty, or more, to be safely
modulated
b. Activates prior to tripping of thermal overload protector,
which prevents long shut down periods due to tripping
thermal overload protector; allows the actuator to continue
to move to set-point at a 25% duty cycle speed
Performance Features
A) High Resolution (± 0.1°)
a. 450 points of resolution on a 1/4 turn valve
B) Dynamic Braking
a. Stops motor before changing actuator direction
b. Stops motor before mechanical brake engages, which
reduces break wear
C) Adaptive Control - Designed to maintain high resolution and
accuracy by continuously monitoring and compensating for
actuator backlash, motor coast, and load changes to eliminate
positioner deadband
4-20mA Positioner Features (T - Option)
A) High Resolution Feedback Transmitter
a. Provides voltage or mA output that can be set for any
range (0 to 10 VDC in 0.0016 V steps or 0 to 20 mA in
0.0031 mA steps)
B) Auto/Manual Station (Local Control Unit - LCU)
C) Polarity Detection
