VALPES Electric Actuator with 3 Positions and Emergency Function

The 3 positions + BBPR / GFS configuration provides three preset valve positions with battery-powered fail-safe return to a defined position upon power loss. This version is specified for actuators rated 25–300 Nm and includes AXMART Bluetooth for configuration and monitoring.

Operation

The actuator enables movement to three fixed positions, e.g., 0° / 90° / 180°, supporting applications beyond simple open/close. In the event of power failure, the BBPR function drives the actuator to a preselected normally open or normally closed position, according to the process safety logic.

Compatible Series

  • VR / VS
  • VRX / VSX ATEX
  • DV / DVX DNV-GL and ATEX
  • VT PLUS

Technical Specifications

  • Duty rating: S4 50% (IEC34)
  • Operating temperature: -10 to +40 °C
  • Manual override via handwheel or output shaft
  • 7 adjustable limit switches, 5 A
  • Multivoltage capability
  • Anti-condensation heater
  • Electronic torque limiter
  • Fault indication relay
  • Automatic battery supply cut-off after 2 minutes to limit discharge

Applications

Applied on 3-way valves, bypass lines, tank filling/drainage, flow diversion, and auxiliary circuits where intermediate positioning and fail-safe operation are required. Media compatibility is determined by the valve; actuator selection is based on torque, rotation angle, voltage, temperature, IP rating, and fail-safe position requirements.

FAQ

When is GFS selected over standard 3 positions?
When the valve must move to a defined position upon power loss.

What is checked during maintenance?
Battery condition, charge status, limit switches, fault relay, cable glands, manual override, torque limiter, and torque-to-valve matching.
