Scheduled for launch in 2013, the actuators will replace the company’s established SG.1 range manufactured since 1998.
A new actuator size included in the SQ.2 series more than doubles the torque range previously offered by the SG.1: this represents a significant expansion now covering 50Nm to 2400Nm.
Other developments include the introduction of an SQR version for modulating duty which replaces the SGR. The SQR provides improved control characteristics with enhanced positioning accuracy and an increased number of permissible starts per hour.

Valve Basics: Electric Actuator Controls
Electric valve actuators control the opening and closing of valves. With a motor drive that provides torque to operate the valve, these actuators are frequently used on multi-turn valves such as gate or globe and also on ball, plug and other quarter-turn valves.
