TECHNICAL  DATA,  M1500A

TAC Forta M1500A

Forta M1500A series Non-Spring Return linear actuators are
designed to mount directly on to VB-72xx two way globe
valve with a AV-811 

linkage kit

 (ordered separately) or VB-

8xxx two and three way globe valves and 

VB-9313-0-5-xx

three way globe valves with a AV-812 valve linkage kit (ordered
separately).

Applications include chilled or hot water and steam.
Field selectable input signals include reverse and direct
acting, Floating or Proportional 0-10, 2-10 vdc or 4-20 ma with
500 Ohm resistor (supplied) plus proportional sequencing
input signal ranges.

FEATURES
- Floating configuration controlled by a SPDT floating

controllers

- Proportional configuration 0-10, 2-10 vdc or 4-20 ma with

the addition of a 500 ohm resistor included
Direct/Reverse action switch selectable

- 337lbf (1500N) linear force
- 24 Vac powered
- Die-cast housing with plenum rated plastic cover for NEMA

2 (IP54) applications

- Manual override to allow positioning of valve
- Electronic valve sequencing and Electronic flow curve

(equal percentage or Linear) selection.

- Torque overload protection throughout stroke
- Easy “One Touch” input signal/stroke calibration
