SAX Valve Actuator
24 Vac, Floating or Proportional Control 
Floating, 0 to 10 Vdc or 4 to 20 mA  
Non-Spring Return
Flowrite Globe
Flowrite SAX Valve Actuator.
Description
Designed for use with Flowrite valves with a 3/4-inch 
(20 mm) stroke. The Flowrite SAX Electronic Actuator 
requires either a 24 Vac or 24 Vdc supply, and receives a 
0 to 10 Vdc or 4 to 20 mA control signal to proportionally 
control the valve or a oating control signal to provide 
oating control of the valve.
Features
• Proportional or oating (3P) control
• Direct-coupled installation
• Visual and electronic stroke indication
• Manual override
• Non-spring return
• 180 lb. (800 N) nominal force
• Automatic calibration (SAX61.03U only)
• Electro-mechanical switches protect components from 
overload and stall condition
• Maintenance-free
Applications
The Flowrite SAX Electronic Valve Actuator is designed 
to be used with the Flowrite and other valves in liquid 
and low pressure steam service applications. They are 
ideal for installations requiring quick response and 
excellent resolution.
