Overview
The Valtek Beta analog positioner transducer (Part No. 167981.999.000) is manufactured by Flowserve, a leading provider of flow control solutions. The Flowserve Valtek Beta positioner is a versatile, force-balanced instrument designed for fast, sensitive, and accurate positioning of diaphragm or cylinder actuators. This unit is built for high-performance applications in severe industrial environments where precise control of liquid or gas flow is critical.
Key Features
- Available with either a pneumatic module for air control signals or an electro-pneumatic (I/P) module for milliamp current control signals
- Compact and rugged positioner suitable for high-performance applications in severe industrial environments
- Interchangeable with System 80 or XL pneumatic and electro-pneumatic positioners
- Certified as intrinsically safe and explosion-proof, meeting various safety standards
- Can be mounted on Valtek linear or rotary actuators, as well as other manufacturers’ actuators
Technical Specifications
This transducer module is part of the Valtek Beta series family of positioners and features I/P (electro-pneumatic) control capability for 4-20 mA signal conditioning. The unit is designed to handle demanding control loop applications requiring rapid response and high accuracy in valve position feedback.
Typical Applications
- Process control systems requiring precise valve positioning
- Flow rate regulation in oil, gas, and chemical processing
- Power generation and steam management applications
- HVAC and environmental control systems
- Hazardous area installations (intrinsically safe environments)
