Series W-AR actuator is widely used in auto-control system to 

regulate the opening rate of electronic valves. Along with Series 

W-PICV valve body, the actuator is able to control the system’s 

temperature, pressure and flow through receiving different kinds of 

signals.

Features

• Easy to debug on site, no need to remove the shell

• Electronic presetting facilitates on-site commissioning

• Manual operation facilitates on-site trouble-shooting

• Precise positioning achieved by self-calibration function

Series W-AR

Working Principle

Modulation Type W-AR2M

The modulation type electric actuator can realize equal percentage 

flow control. By inputting 0 (2) - 10VDC and 0 (4) - 20mA control 

signals, the feedback output signal of valve position can be 

observed, and the automatic regulation and control of pipeline fluid 

medium can be realized, which makes the application of control valve 

more flexible. After the modulation type electric actuator is powered 

on, by pressing the SW1 learning / reset button on the shell, the 

actuator will firstly go down to find the valve closing position, and 

then reverse the upward direction to return to the reference position 

and stop. After the self-adaptation is completed, it will automatically 

enter the operation state. MCU (chip) will automatically save the 

parameters obtained during learning, and it will not be lost even after 

power failure. At this time, the driver power indicator on long time 

light indicates that the self-adaptive is over, and the coordination and 

adjustment of valve body and driver are completed. Currently, the 

running direction of the driver is controlled by the control signal. 

When the driver is powered on, press the SW1 learning / reset button 

on the shell to enter the adaptive state if it needs to be adaptive.

On-off Type W-AR1S

The W-AR1S motorized actuator accepts two-wire and one–control 

on/off type control. When the power is switched on, the actuator 

drives the screw downwards one-way to close the valve. When the 

external power is cut off, auto reset is triggered electronically to drive 

the screw upwards to keep the valve open.

The screw is preset in the upwards position for easy connection to the valve.

The actuator drives the screw downwards to close the 

valve when the power is on and drives the screw upwards
