Flowserve Corporation has released its new Limitorque QX Series B (QXb) quarter-turn smart electric actuator.
Reliable flow control automation solutions are crucial for sustainable operations.
Flowserve’s QXb actuator maximises dependability and efficiency while enabling the transition to a low-carbon future.
Along with a streamlined user experience and advanced diagnostics, it is designed to support customer initiatives to consume fewer resources.
A large, high-resolution liquid crystal display (LCD) with adaptive brightness control provides improved legibility as well as real-time actuator status and valve position.
Its IP68-rated double-sealed enclosure and non-intrusive control knobs eliminate the risk of water or dust ingress for improved reliability; this design also removes the need for a heater. Increased precision is also achieved with 0.1 percent positioning accuracy.
“The Limitorque QXb electric actuator provides unmatched reliability and precision while lowering the cost of ownership in a range of demanding applications,” said Mark Stone, global product leader – electric actuation, Flowserve.
“This next-generation device builds on the proven state-of-the-art Limitorque MX actuator platform to provide all the user-preferred features in a quarter-turn, smart actuator package, plus connectivity with the Flowserve Flowsync App.”
“Flowserve improved the interface to streamline the user experience and accelerate commissioning by as much as 50%.
“In addition, the QXb actuator enables backward compatibility with older QX actuators, via a conversion kit, which helps reduce costs and provides future-proofing.”
