Following the successful launch of a battery back-up option for our HQ-005 quarter-turn electric actuator, we’re delighted to announce we can now offer failsafe functionality for the rest of the HQ range – which was previously only an option up to 300NM.
The RBP (Rechargeable Battery Pack) is available in single phase (110V or 220VAC) and when fully charged allows 5 full operations of the actuator when power is unavailable. By using a set of high-quality batteries which are constantly trickle charged, the battery back-up option ensures optimum performance anytime there’s a power failure. This can be easily set to fail closed or fail open and is now available on actuators up to 3000NM.
When supplied with the RBP option, the actuators are fitted with 2 off local control selector switches (1 for local/remote and 1 for open/close operation) and LED Lamp signals to give the user clear indication of the actuator performance. The LED indicators include a fault light, the battery charge level, and if the actuator is open or closed.
All HQ actuators are supplied with a robust IP67 hard anodised Aluminium housing, 4 off limit switches, anti-condensation heater & manual override handwheel.
The HQ series is just one of a large range of electric and pneumatic actuators and associated accessories we have available from stock.
