VA-6100 Series Electric Valve Actuators
Code No. LIT-1900066
Issued January 2, 2014
Description
VA-6100 Series Electric Valve Actuators use a
synchronous motor to accurately position
Johnson Controls® VG2000 Series Cast Iron
Flanged Globe Valves in HVAC and industrial
applications. These non-spring-return electric
actuators have a 1,350 lb (6,000 N) force
output for on/off (floating) or proportional
control. Integral auxiliary switches are
available to indicate end-stop position or to
perform switching functions. Position feedback
is also available through an isolated
2,000 ohm potentiometer at a fixed stroke of
1-21/32 in. (42.07 mm). All models feature a
manual hand wheel for manual positioning of
the valve, independent of a power supply.
Refer to the VA-6100 Series Electric Valve
Actuators Product Bulletin (LIT-977284) for
important product application information.
Features
• synchronous motor with pressure switches
provides a constant running speed and
establishes fixed closeoff forces
• on/off (floating) or proportional control
allows optimal choice of control signal
• adjustable starting point, span, and action
(proportional control model only) provides
application flexibility and allows for easy
sequencing from only one output signal
• 0 to 10 VDC or 0 to 20 mA position
feedback signal (proportional control model
only) provides accurate valve position
indication in response to an input signal up
to 10 VDC or 20 mA
• auxiliary switches and feedback
potentiometer available on select models
provides independent verification of
actuator position
• manual hand wheel allows for manual
positioning of the valve, independent of a
power supply
Repair Information
If the VA-6100 Series Electric Actuator fails to
operate within its specifications, replace the
unit. For a replacement actuator, contact the
nearest Johnson Controls representative.
• two-bolt coupler clamp provides quick and
easy coupling of the actuator to the valve
stem
