APPLICATION

Forta M400A (VB) / M800A (VB) /M1500A (VB) series Non-Spring Re-

turn linear actuators are available in two styles, U-Bolt Mount style,

mounts to Schneider Electric globe valves with AV-821 linkage kits

for mounting to VB-7xxx valves or AV-822 for mounting to VB-8xxx,

or VB-9313-0-5-xx valves. Screw Mount style, screws directly to the

bonnet nut on VB-7xxx valves (no adapter required).

Applications include chilled or hot water and steam. Field select-

able input signals include reverse and direct acting, Floating or

Proportional 0-10, 2- 10 vdc or 4-20 ma with 500 ohm resistor

(supplied) plus proportional sequencing input signal ranges.

Forta 3 Globe Valve Actuators & Assemblies FUNCTION The actuator The brushless DC-motor of the actuator turns a screw via a gear wheel. When the motor receives a control signal from the controller, the screw moves in a linear motion, moving the stem of the valve. Control signal The M400A (VB)/ M800A (VB)/ M1500A (VB) Series can be controlled by a SPDT floating control, Triac source controller or a proportional input signal. Manual operation There is a red manual operation handle on the actuator.
