Rotary actuators for ball valves

GLB..9E..

Electromotoric rotary actuators for open-close, three-position

or modulating control. Used in heating, ventilation and air conditioning plants.

and VBI61..) or externally threaded connections (VAG61.. and VBG61..), DN15 to
DN50
● For open/close ball valves 2-port and changeover ball valves 3-port, internally
threaded connections (VAI60.. and VBI60..) or externally threaded connections
(VAG60.. and VBG60..), DN15 to DN50
● Nominal torque 10 Nm

Features
● Brushless, robust DC motors ensure reliable operation regardless of load.
● The rotary actuators do not require an end position switch, are overload proof, and remain
in place upon reaching the end stop.
● The gears are maintenance free and low noise.
● Suitable for use with modulating controllers (DC 0/2...10 V), open-close or three-position
controllers.
● We recommend a minimum pulse length of 500 ms on rotary actuators operated with 3-
point control to ensure continuous and accurate operation.

the rotary angle.
U depends on the rotary direction of the DIL switch setting.
Self-adaptation of rotary angle span When self-adaption is active, the actuator automatically detects
mechanical end of the rotary angle range.

Safety

Caution

National safety regulations

Failure to comply with national safety regulations may result in personal injury and property
damage.
● Observe national provisions and comply with the appropriate safety regulations.
● Use only properly trained technicians for mounting, commissioning, and servicing.

Mounting

Both ball valve and rotary actuator can easily be assembled at the mounting location. Neither
special tools nor adjustments are required.

Orientation

Installation

WARNING

No internal line protection for supply lines to external consumers

Risk of fire and injury due to short-circuits
● Adapt the line diameters as per local regulations to the rated value of the installed fuse.

Engineering

If condensation occurs at the mounting site, the use of the temperature adapter ALJ100 is
recommended in order to protect the actuator. If the medium temperature is ≤ 0 °C, the
adapter shaft must be greased with silicon grease.

TM Medium temperature

TA Ambient temperature

Range of use for actuator/valve

Use with ALJ100

GLB161.9E/MO
The Modbus converter is designed for analog control at 0...10 V.

Commissioning

When commissioning the system, check wiring and the functions of the rotary actuator.
Manual adjustment
The rotary actuator can be manually adjusted into any position between 0° and 90° by
pushing the gear train disengagement slider.
If a control signal from the controller is present, this will take priority in determining the
position after the slider is released.

For manual adjustment: Power off!

Maintenance

The actuators GLB..9E.. are maintenance-free.

Disposal

The device is considered electrical and electronic equipment for dis-

posal in terms of the applicable European Directive and may not be
disposed of as domestic garbage.
 Dispose of the device through channels provided for this pur-
pose.
 Comply with all local and currently applicable laws and regu-
lations.
