The TCR-05-11-20-40T Control Electrical Actuator is a robust device designed for precise control of valves, offering a wide range of torque options and advanced features for reliable operation in various industrial settings.
Function Description
The TCR-T electric actuator is intended for motorizing ¼ turn valves with a torque of 50, 110, 200 or 400 Nm. Its core function is to convert electrical signals into mechanical rotation to open or close valves. The control function allows for adjustment of the valve's opening and closing points, with options for 4-20mA, 0-10V input signals, and 0-20mA, 0-10V output signals. This flexibility makes it suitable for various control systems. The device features a common control board and plastic housing, making it especially well-suited for mounting small size ball valves. It boasts an IP67 leak-tightness rating, indicating its suitability for use indoors and outdoors, even under a shelter. Parameter setting is handled via a control menu, which allows for easy configuration. The menu provides 14 additional functions for fine-tuning the actuator's performance.

- Damaged microswitch (no switch signal): Change the microswitch.
- Valve that is not fully closed:
- Use the return signal from the actuator check.
- The hysteresis increases due to wear or between the actuator and the valve's stem.
- Unsuitable cable cross section being used.
- The cable connection is not leak-tight.
- Redo the adjustment of the limit cams.
- Contact the supplier for repair.
