Double acting and spring return 228
Econosto offers a comprehensive range of actuators for the product groups butterfly valves and ball valves. Because of the
quarter-turn design and the ISO5211 standardised mounting flanges, butterfly and ball valves are well suited to the simple
fitting of a pneumatic, electric or hydraulic actuator. In our workshop, our technicians will fit and adjust these actuators onto
the butterfly and ball valves ordered by customers, using a mounting kit if required. In addition, the standard actuators can be
modified or fitted with accessories as ordered by the customer.
Pneumatic actuators
Pneumatic actuators are available in 2 versions: double acting and spring return. This actuator type is used when a high
switching frequency or fail safe action is required. The design with a minimum number of moving parts makes these actuators
extremely reliable.
Electric actuators
Electric actuators are available for various supply voltages. This actuator type is suitable for applications on sites where there
is no compressed air or hydraulic network. Because of the integrated standard features such as limit switches and an
emergency handwheel, these actuators are completely functional and compact.
Hydraulic actuators
Hydraulic actuators convert hydraulic energy into a 90° output rotation, suitable for the actuation of all quarter-turn valves.
Due to the high operating pressure, this type of actuator offers a high output torque in combination with a compact body.
These characteristics make these actuators suitable for larger valves, and suitable for use in narrow spaces. The strong
construction of these actuators ensures a high level of reliability.

Type
Pneumatic actuators are available in 2 versions: double acting and spring return. The
spring return versions can be supplied as spring-to-close or spring-to-open. Apart
from the position indicator, all versions are without any external moving parts. This
makes these actuators safe in operation, easy to install and virtually maintenance-free.
With the compact rack and pinion design and the use of aluminium parts, these
actuators are lightweight and compact.

Type
The Econ® compact electric actuators can be used for almost any supply voltage. This
multi-voltage actuator has an auto voltage sensing within the specified voltage range.
The L-series operates from 15 to 48 Volt AC or 12 to 48 Volt DC. The H-series operates
from 80 to 240 Volt AC or DC. External DIN plugs eliminates the need of removing the
actuator's cover, when connecting the powersupply. The actuator is also protected
against an incorrectly wired powersupply. The protection class is IP65. An electronic
torque limiter prevents the actuator from overloading. An internal 4W heater
eliminates possible condensation inside the actuator. For remote open/close
indication, two potential free contacts are provided as standard. Wiring of these
contacts can be done easily by means of the supplied DIN connector. The open/close
indicator clearly shows the position of the valve locally. In case of emergency the
actuator can be operated by means of a handwheel. The multi functional mounting
flange to ISO 5211 has two or three ISO connections with a square interface under 45
and 90 degrees position. This enables mounting of these actuators on almost any ECON® Compact
quarter-turn valve, such as ball valves and butterfly valves. • fig. 7906
Features
• Electric actuator for HVAC and light industrial use
• Can be used on all quarter-turn valves (up to 350 Nm)

Options
• Battery pack; in case main powersupply is interrupted, actuator will move
automatically to its (pre set) fail safe position. Upon main power resumption, the
actuator will revert back to its original position.
• Positioner; for regulating purposes. Input signal 4-20mA or 0-10V.

Type
EL-series electric actuators are available for several supply voltages. The electric
actuators are built to comply with protection class IP65 as a minimum, and optionally
can be built to IP67 or explosion-proof classification. The standard thermal switches in
the motor windings protect the motor from overheating. Starting from type EL100, the
actuators also feature torque to protect the transmission and driven valve from
mechanical obstructions. All actuators have standard a high ratio self-braking worm
wheel drive, and include a handwheel for emergency manual operation. The
handwheel is idle when operating electrically, but can be engaged when emergencies
occur. This creates a mechanical connection between the handwheel and the valve. By
using the standardised ISO 5211 mounting flange, these actuators can be easily
mounted on most quarter-turn valves, such as ball valves and butterfly valves.

ELQ-series electric actuators can be connected standard to 4 different voltages:
115VAC, 230VAC, 400VAC and 24VDC. The electric actuators are built to comply with
protection class IP67 as a minimum, and optionally can be built to explosion-proof
classification. The standard thermal switches in the motor windings protect the motor
from overheating. The actuators also have an electronic torque protection to protect
the transmission and driven valve from mechanical damage caused by obstructions in
the system.
The ELQ is built standard with a high ratio worm gear transmission with a very high
mechanical efficiency. This keeps the noise level very low, there is hardly any free play.
It was therefore possible to design an extremely compact and light actuator.
The handwheel for emergency manual operation can also be used for setting
purposes. A unique feature is that the handwheel is always operable, but does not
rotate when the motor is engaged.
The ELQ actuator is modular in construction, and can be easily expanded with plug-in ELQ-series
modules to a regulating drive, communicating with bus systems. By using the • fig. 7912ELQ
standardised ISO 5211 mounting flange, these actuators can be easily mounted on
most quarter-turn valves. • Connection voltage 115VAC,

BRC hydraulic actuators convert hydraulic energy into a 90° output rotation, suitable
for the actuation of all quarter-turn valves. The output torque is proportional to the
supplied operating pressure and constant over the entire rotation. By means of high
hydraulic pressure (normally 135 bar) this actuator gives a high output torque and is
therefore a very compact solution for operating larger valves. The rigid design of
hydraulic actuators guarantees a long and reliable service life. The BRC actuator is
suitable for installation indoor as well as and outdoors, and also as a special option
can be ordered for use under water.
