  • Page 11: Electronic Torque Limiter

    General info The Portable Valve Actuator JA73 is equipped with an electronic torque limiter that makes it stop when the desired torque is reached. This way, material is protected against excessive torques that might damage it. It can also be used as a proof that a sufficient torque has been applied to a handwheel for example.
  • Page 12: Accuracy

    Portable Valve Actuators can be used in any position. However, to ensure the operator is working safely and in the best conditions, it is imperative that the actuator is used in the axis of the hand wheel being activated.    NOT-JA73-EN-2021-v01...

    Take note - the torque when closing a valve should always be less than the torque when opening a valve, in order to guarantee that the valve can be reopened. Using the torque limiter for closing and opening a valve means you can be always be sure to have enough torque in reserve for the valve to be reopened or reclosed. NOT-JA73-EN-2021-v01...
