VU-8213-686-5-12

The Schneider Electric VU-8213-686-5-12 is an electric actuator coupled with a globe valve assembly designed for efficient fluid control. The valve operates with a nominal size of 2-1/2 inches and is constructed from cast iron, providing durability and resistance to wear. It features ANSI Class 125 for flanged connections, facilitating secure integration with various systems.

This assembly is equipped with the NSR Forta M1500A actuator, which boasts an impressive force rating of 337 lbf (1500 N). The unit achieves a flow coefficient (Cv) of 56, or approximately 48 in kvs terms, indicating strong performance in controlling flow rates.

Designed to handle a close-off pressure of 125 psi (856 kPa), it ensures reliable operation under varying pressures. The actuator requires a voltage supply of 24 Volts AC, with a tolerance of +/-10%, and is capable of functioning at voltages of 20-29 Volts DC. The running power consumption sits at 24 VA, with transformer sizing rated at 50 VA for adequate power management.

Control signals to the actuator can be in the form of a proportional signal ranging from 0-10 or 2-10 Volts DC, or 4-20 mA DC. A floating signal option is DIP-selectable for added versatility in application scenarios. Additionally, the device offers integral position feedback to ensure precise tracking of the valve’s position. It includes two auxiliary SPDT switches for supplemental functionality and features the AV-822 linkage kit for optimal configuration. Overall, this valve assembly is engineered to deliver reliable performance in various industrial applications.
