The T-EAV 913 series combines SMS-TORK REA electric rotary actuators with injection-molded U-PVC or PPRC ball valve bodies in a single assembled package. ISO 5211 standard mounting (F03/F05/F07) means the actuator can be removed and the valve body replaced independently — no custom brackets or re-drilling required. Built-in manual override via handwheel provides fail-safe operation during power loss without disassembling the actuator.

When should I choose PPRC over PVC?

U-PVC bodies are rated to 45°C continuous — suitable for cold water, wastewater, and dilute chemical service at ambient temperatures. PPRC (polypropylene random copolymer) extends the temperature ceiling to 90°C, making it the right choice for hot water, CIP return lines, and low-pressure steam condensate. Both materials offer excellent corrosion resistance compared to metal valves, at lower installed cost and weight.

How does the REA actuator sizing work?

The REA 40 actuator (40 Nm) covers valve sizes DN15 through DN40. The REA 60 (60 Nm) handles DN50 through DN110. Both operate on standard 220 VAC 50/60 Hz single-phase supply, with 24 VDC and 380 VAC configurations available on request. The 12–14 second 90° cycle time is consistent across the range — a reversible synchronous motor drives the output directly without gear reduction that would slow larger sizes.

What control options are available beyond basic on-off?

The standard T-EAV 913 ships as an on-off actuator with end-of-travel limit switches. Adding the PCU (Proportional Control Unit) module enables 0–10 VDC or 4–20 mA proportional positioning for modulating flow control. The LCU (Local Control Unit) adds a local start/stop interface and status indication at the valve. Both modules plug into the same actuator housing without re-wiring the field cable.
