VA-8122-1 Johnson Controls Valve Actuator

Datasheet

Catalog Page

The VA-8122 Proportional Valve Actuator is an electric actuator that provides proportional control of valves with up to a 5/16 in. stroke in Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) applications. This compact, nonspring return actuator has a 22 lb minimum seating force in a compact, easy-to-install package. The VA-8122 can be ordered factory coupled to the 1/2 in. or 3/4 in. VG7000 Series bronze valves for hot or cold water service only. The VA-8122 can be used for retrofits of VT Series Terminal Unit Valves (with slotted stems) and VB-5×39 Series Flare Valves. Refer to the appropriate valve literature for more information.

Features

• AUTOCAL pushbutton allows the actuator to define the control input range proportionally over the stroke
• simplified setup and adjust procedures decrease installation costs
• selectable direction of action, Drive Down or Drive Up, provides application flexibility
• wide range of control inputs meets the needs of most applications
• power failure detection and low voltage indication prevent data corruption of the actuator’s memory and warns of insufficient supply voltage
• Light-Emitting Diode (LED) reduces commissioning time and displays operating status

Operation:

The actuator uses a reversible synchronous motor to accurately position the valve. The motor can reliably generate 22 pounds of force in either the Drive Down (DD) or Drive Up (DU) direction. Once the valve closes, a shutoff force builds up. When this force reaches 22 pounds, a lever within the actuator operates a force sensor that stops the motor. The constant load at the end of travel ensures tight valve seat shutoff and compensates for seat wear. Field calibration of shutoff is not required. The actuator maintains the shutoff force and its last position even if power is removed.
