900 Series Legacy Actuators

Tri-Tec Manufacturing produces the most rugged DOD spec electric actuators in the industry. Our MOV Valve Actuator is designed specifically to meet the requirements of the U.S. Navy for a high performance electric drive suitable for installation in all applications and environments.  The actuators are constructed to allow for range of maintenance-free bronze construction for general applications to high-tech alloys for applications that require particular attention to the overall weight. The actuators are made from maintenance-free bronze construction

900 Series Electric Valve Actuator Design & Materials

 Housing
MOV Actuators are available with cast housings in Bronze.
       
Motors
All motors are furnished to MIL-M-17059 Service A for frame size 48 and 56 for Type II Quarter Turn Valves, Type I may require a larger motor to MIL-M-17060 depending upon the torque requirements. Motor options are as follows:

• Sealed Insulation Systems -- Motors are available from qualified suppliers to meet the Sealed Systems specification in MIL-M-17060.
• Thermal Sensor Monitor -- When specified, the motors are furnished with 3 Positive Temperature Coefficient Thermal Sensors (Thermistors) embedded in the windings to have an increase in resistance of 15% per degree at the thermal rating of the insulation system. The sensors are matched and calibrated with an over-temperature controller which is a calibrated solid-state device with a Triac output to disconnect the power to the reversing contactor in the event of an over-temperature condition.

Limit Switches
Our legacy electric actuators are furnished with 6 independently adjustable limit switches to indicate the precise position
