2.1.1 Product Description

Your MX actuator controls the opening and closing travel of valves and other actuated devices. OPEN
and CLOSED limits are protected by an absolute encoder that provides optical sensing of valve position
and measures valve position in both motor and handwheel operation. No battery or backup power
supply is required. Output torque is derived from motor speed, temperature, and voltage. If the preset
torque is exceeded, the motor shuts off. As a result of this reliable and advanced protection technology,
all valve and other actuated devices are protected from potential damage from overload, improper
seating, and foreign obstructions.
A range of control and network options is available and can be easily added to the control capabilities
already available on a standard actuator. Contact your local Limitorque distributor or Limitorque sales
office for further information.

2.1.2 Storage

Storage Recommendations
Your MX actuator is double-sealed and weatherproof as shipped, providing all compartment covers and
cable entry plugs are left intact. Actuators should be stored in a clean, dry, protected warehouse until
ready for installation. If actuators must be stored outdoors, they should be stored off the ground, high
enough to prevent being immersed in water or buried in snow.
