Bonomi (UK) Ltd has launched the new high performance ‘VB’ Series of electric actuators. The introduction of this new range complements Bonomi’s existing portfolio of pneumatic actuators and process valves. The ‘VB’ Series is a range of quarter turn electric actuators which have been designed specifically for the actuation of ball valves, butterfly valves, plug valves and dampers. Their versatility makes them suitable for use in all sectors including water, oil, gas, food, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries. The range includes models with output torques from 15Nm to 350Nm. Each model has a robust techno polymer housing with IP65 and IP67 protection. ‘VB’ Series actuators also have many other design features as standard including manual over ride, visual position indication, anti condensation heater, 2 micro switches (for remote position indication), electronic torque limiter and a dual drilled ISO5211 – DIN3337 interface to facilitate direct mounting. Also, all motors are dual rated with the high tension motor being suitable for voltages from 100 to 240 Volt AC and the low tension motor being suitable for both 24 Volt AC and 24 Volt DC supplies. Available options include 4 to 20mA or 0 to 10 Volt modulating positioner for valve position control and an internal battery for fail safe operation in the event of power loss.
