A new version of a popular ball-valve actuator improves quality

| By Chemical Engineering

Asahi/America

An updated version of the Series 83A Electromni actuator for small, quarter-turn ball valves is available from this company. Designed for improved performance, the Series 83A now features a Nema 4X-type enclosure to meet today’s industry standards. The flanged cover and baseplate design with a full gasket Nitrile seal enhances sealing performance to keep external water out of the actuator enclosure. The new version now has four captivated 304 stainless-steel, hex-head-slotted cap-screws to fasten the actuator’s cover and base halves together, and four Nitrile cap-plugs to cover the formerly exposed motor mounting bolts. Dimensions permit tight fits and incoming customer wiring hook-up requirements remain unchanged from previous versions of the actuator. — Asahi/America Inc., Malden, Mass.
