Sonceboz SA, Sonceboz-Sombeval, Switzerland, specializes in intelligent electrical drive systems for customized applications. Its product portfolio includes stepper motors, brushless DC motors, high-torque motors, and electrical linear drives together with customer-specific system solutions containing complete control electronics and associated mechanical elements, electronics, and sensors.
Unlike solenoids, the actuator does not need a pilot circuit. Furthermore, dead-zone compensation aids positioning accuracy by compensating for wear and mechanical play. An efficient system to reduce power consumption is also available.
The actuator comes in 37- and 42-mm widths for easy assembly into a wide variety of sectional valves. It is also rated IP6k9k, making it compatible with the harsh environments usually encountered with mobile equipment, such as high humidity, dirt, and vibration. It is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from -40° to 100°C.
