VA-9070 Series Electric Rotary Actuators for Two-Position
and Modulating Service

Code No. LIT-977319
Product Bulletin
Issued August 24, 2009

Supersedes May 30, 2007
The VA-9070 Series Electric Rotary Actuators for

Two-Position and Modulating Service are designed for
direct mounting on VF Series Butterfly Valves.
The VA-9070 is available in eight different sizes, for
two-position and modulating service on VF Series
Standard-Pressure, Standard-Temperature Butterfly
Valves and VF Series High-Pressure,
High-Temperature Buttery Valves.
For more detailed information on VA-9070 Series
Electric Rotary Actuators, refer to the VA-9070 Series
Electric Rotary Actuators for Two-Position and
Modulating Service Technical Bulletin (LIT-977325).

Table 1: Features and Benefits
Features
Benefits
Low Profile and Lightweight Design
Reduces space requirements and provides ease of installation.
Built-in Motor Overload Protection
Prevents thermal overload of motor.
Pre-wired Actuator Switches to Terminal Block;

Field-Configurable Power and Input Signals
Provide ease of wiring without interference from other components;

enable field modification of input signal.
Patented Travel Limit Switch Cam Design
Allows simple adjustment of travel limit cams without interference.
External Manual Handwheel Override
Ensures positive and fast manual operation without the need for extra
tools or levers.
Rugged, Die-Cast Aluminum NEMA 4, 4X, IP65

Type Enclosure with Captive Housing Screws
Provide waterproofing and exceptional corrosion, wear, impact, and

Ultraviolet (UV) light resistance; prevents time-consuming problems
due to lost or misplaced bolts.
Valve Status Display
Provides clear and convenient indication of valve position throughout

full range of travel.
Heater/Thermostat
Prevents condensation build-up and freeze-ups.
