Advanced actuators and instruments are available for a complete flow control solution.

Electric Actuation

Bettis® TorqPlus™ Model "EM-510" multi turn actuator.

Bettis Model EM Electric Auctuator
Bettis Model EM
Electric Actuator

The low friction high torque CORTEC open yoke adaptor converts rotary motion of the actuator to a high thrust linear motion.

Superior thrust to meet the most demanding applications.

Features and Benefits

  • Manual override
  • Weatherproof aluminum housing
  • Explosion proof electronics
  • Local position indicator
  • Precise repeatability
  • Low power consumption
  • 4-20 ma control signal and position feedback
  • Three limit switches
  • Dual conduit entries
  • Upon loss of control signal this unit can be configured to fail in place, fail open or fail closed
  • Upon loss of power source the unit will fail in the last position
  • Powered by optional 12 or 24 VDC or 115 or 230 VAC
  • The actuator and open yoke unit weighs 55 lbs (24.95 kg)
