Introduction 

Compact actuator for the operation of final 
control elements with preferably 90° rotary 
movement such as valve flaps, ball valves, etc. 
 
The nominal torque is transferred through a lever 
actuator. A special electronic unit controls the 
actuator. The special electronic unit serves as the 
interface between actuator and control system.
