ELECTRIC

RCEL Series
 Remote Control RCEL Series Electric Actuators are engineered to provide efficient, high performance automation of quarter turn valves. The RCEL Series has improved reliability incorporating all the best features. The maximum torque output range is 521 inch lbs. to 21,700 inch lbs. The RCEL actuators are CSA C/US approved in 120VAC models. The RCEL actuators have a number of options. For more information on the RCEL electric actuator refer to the RCEL datasheet in the product section of our website.

  • Standard enclosure IP-67, NEMA 4, 4X.
  • Squirrel cage, totally enclosed motor
  • Standardized and color-coded wiring
  • Manual override hand/auto declutch lever, automatic reset when motor is energized
  • Handwheel designed for safe, efficient operation
  • Mounting standardized to ISO-5211; removable drive bushing can be machined to match valve stem
  • Wormgear drive for longer life and low maximum noise level of 50dB
  • Indicator top mounted for continuous visual indication of valve position
  • 20 watt internal heater to minimize condensation due to temperature and humidity changes
  • Cam actuated, end of travel limit switches are easily adjusted to de-energize actuator for precise valve position
  • Torque switch is cam actuated and factory set to provide over torque protection for valves, available in size RCEL-15 thru RCEL-250
  • Mechanical limit stops designed to prevent over-travel of quarter turn applications
  • Valve backdrive is prevented by a rolled steel wormgear and aluminum bronze wormwheel
  • CSA C/VS Approval on 120 VAC only.
