Rack and Pinion.
Description
The Flowrite Electronic Rack and Pinion is designed for
use with 1/2- to 2-inch Flowrite two- and three-way valves
with a 3/4-inch stroke. A linkage fastens the actuator
and the valve body together and transforms the rotary
movement of the actuator output shaft to the linear motion
required to position the valve.
Features
• Brushless DC motor technology with stall protection
• Bi-directional fail-safe spring return
• All metal housing
• UL and C-UL listed
• Spring return to fail-safe position
Applications
The Flowrite Valves and Valve Actuators are used to
control water and glycol solutions to 50 percent in small
to large air handling units and central plant applications.
