Quick and easy installation, with a variety of selectable functions...
The ARA 600 Series of motorized actuators replaces the 60 Series of 24V motorized actuators mounted to ESBE 3 and 4-way rotary valves. The ARA Series have improved mounting and operating functions resulting in a simpler installation.
These direct-mounted motorized actuators are capable of mounting to the VRG styles of 3 and 4-way rotary valves. In addition, the ARA Series is backward compatible to the discontinued MG and G series of valves.
Available in 3-Point floating with or without an auxiliary switch and proportional, which cross over to the 60 Series actuators. However, there are additional varieties of motorized actuators to select from; a 2-point actuator to different run-time options. The variety of options provide flexibility in application selecting.
Features and benefits
Fewer parts and tools required for installation.
Increased stabilization between actuator and valve.
Backward compatible with ESBE MG and G series of 3 & 4-way rotary valves.
Reduced profile and size of motor actuator.
Easier mounting procedure.
