Acrodyne Acro-Torq Portable Actuator range

Acrodyne has released the Acro-Torq Portable Actuator range.

The portable actuator can operate a host of valves, especially where infrequent valve operation will not justify installation of a permanent actuator or the provision of power source is impractical or uneconomical. It addresses the current OHS issues experienced in the field by minimising fatigue and the possibility of injury.

It requires no additional power source other than its self-contained rechargeable batteries as well as its built-in safety features when applied correctly by Acrodyne engineers.

Features include speed control and it is easily reversible for opening and closing of valves. The actuator can be adapted to almost any valve or gearbox combination by means of dedicated couplings. Torque control can be simply addressed by the inclusion of an Acro-Gears Aunspach torque limiter. In addition, the company can also provide a range of gearboxes and other mountings and accessories to assist in the safe operation of this actuator.

There are three models available ranging from battery to the higher torque capacity four-stroke petrol versions.
