General Information INTRODUCTION WARNING - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE Rotork Controls designs, manufactures, and tests its products This electronic control is static-sensitive. To protect the to meet many national and international standards. For these internal components from damage, never touch the products to operate within their normal specifications, they printed circuit cards without using electrostatic discharge must be properly installed and maintained.
General Information IDENTIFICATION LABEL GENERAL ACTUATOR DESCRIPTION The LA-2520 series actuators are electrically operated, bi- directional linear devices. They are designed for strokes to 24 inches (610 mm) and thrusts to 1,600 lbf (7117 N) and include WARNING: MODEL: a manual override handwheel. The drive motor may be single * MORE THAN ONE LIVE CIRCUIT.
