DeZURIK LA-Series Actuators
Design Features:
LA-Series Actuators are designed for use on large 30–72" (750–1800mm) DeZURIK AWWA Butterfly Valves. The LA-Series Actuator meets the requirements of AWWA C504 standards. The link-arm mechanism allows the LA-Series Actuator to provide characterized closure that slows valve travel and increases torque as the disc comes into the seat. The actuator is self-locking, maintaining valve position under varying flow conditions.
The LA-Series actuators feature an input torque capability of 450 foot pounds against the open and closed position stops as standard. An optional spur gear provides a 2:1 mechanical advantage while maintaining an input torque capability of 300 foot pounds against the stops. The spur gear slows closing of the valve, minimizing the possibility of water hammer.
