SSD Electronic Valve Actuators
Floating or 0 to 10 Vdc Control
Spring Return Non-Spring Return
Siemens Industry, Inc.
Description
Pressure Independent Control Series SSD Electronic Valve Actuators require a 24 Vac
power supply and receive a floating control signal (SSD81…) or a proportional 0 to
10 Vdc signal (SSD61…) to control a valve. The 0 to 10V SSD61U actuator also
accepts a 24 Vdc power supply.
These actuators are designed to work with 1/2- to 1-1/4 inch Pressure Independent
Control Series Valves with a 2.5 mm or 5 mm stroke and a threaded valve bonnet that
fits the actuator.
Features
Nominal force >56 lbs (250 N)
Automatic stroke calibration on the SSD61…
UL listed for plenum installation
Reduced power consumption in holding position
Direct coupled installation without tools (hand-tightened)
Manual override
Visual position indication
Application
For use in heating and cooling HVAC applications with Pressure Independent Control
valves. They can be used in chilled/hot water applications or in water-glycol solutions
up to 50% in closed loop systems. The Spring Return SSDx1.5U Series actuators
accept plenum cable or 3/8-inch flex conduit connections.
