SSD Series Spring Return 
Electronic Valve Actuator.
Description
Pressure Independent Control Series SSD Electronic 
Valve Actuators require a 24 Vac power supply and receive 
a oating control signal (SSD81…) or a proportional 0 to 
10 Vdc signal (SSD61…) to control a valve. The 0 to 10V 
SSD61U actuator also accepts a 24 Vdc power supply.
These actuators are designed to work with 1/2- to 
1-1/4 inch normally open and normally closed Pressure 
Independent Control Series Valves with a 2.5 mm or 5 mm 
stroke and a threaded valve bonnet that ts the actuator.
Features
• Floating or 0 to 10 Vdc control
• Spring return and non-spring return variants
• Automatic stroke calibration on the SSD61…
• Reduced power consumption in holding position
• Direct coupled installation; actuators mount on valves 
without tools or any adjustments required
• Manual override
• Visual position indication
• UL listed for plenum installation
• Maintenance-free, electromotoric actuator
• Plenum cable or 3/8" ex conduit connections
SSD Series Non-Spring Return 
Electronic Valve Actuator.
Applications
For use in heating and cooling HVAC applications with 
Pressure Independent Control valves that require >56 lbs. 
(250N) actuator force.
