The Vahn-Tech Series VT-SX Explosion Proof Spring-Return Fail-Safe Electric Actuators in addition to the normal function (floating control, on-off control, modulating control) are designed to provide fail-safe positioning of valves and dampers upon loss of power supply. A mechanical spring set is used to position the controlled device to either the fully OPEN or fully CLOSED position without any external power source. For ON-OFF type, a mechanical buffer is employed at the end of the spring stroke in order to reduce the dynamic effects of the spring return system. A clutch-free manual override is available as an option for standard units to provide full-time manual positioning of the valve.
