Sizing Valbia Pneumatic and Electric Actuators for Valve Automation
Valbia Series 82, 83, and 84 rack-and-pinion pneumatic actuators operate up to 8 bar across 0°-90° and 0°-180° turns, while Series 85 and 86 electric actuators deliver 15 to 350 Nm with ISO 5211 direct mounting.
For pneumatic sizing, manufacturers apply a 25%–50% safety factor above the maximum breakaway torque of the ball or butterfly valve.
Double-acting (DA) models maintain constant torque across the full stroke and are selected against the lowest available air supply pressure (2.5–8 bar).
Spring-return (SR) models must be sized using the lower torque value between compressed-air end stroke (MAC) and spring-return end stroke (MMD) across spring sets 01 to 08.
Series 82–84 Pneumatic, Series 85–86 Electric, and MT Multi-Turn Ranges
Hard-anodized extruded aluminum Series 82 (sizes 32–330) spans 3.5 to 7358 Nm at 8 bar, Series 83 (sizes 52–160) provides 0°–180° rotation in DA execution, and stainless steel Series 84 (sizes 52–100) withstands corrosive chemical, food, and offshore duty.
Patented isolation of the cam and stop-bolt chamber prevents pressure leaks around stroke limit screws.
Series 85 (self-extinguishing technopolymer, IP65/IP67) and Series 86 (molded aluminum with polyester powder coat, IP68/Type 4X) run on 12/24V AC/DC or 100–240V AC with optional 4–20 mA / 0–10V positioners, 5 kOhm potentiometers, and 24V DC battery fail-safe.
Series 87 MT multi-turn actuators (VB-0030MT to VB-0500MT, 13–500 Nm, 40–100 kN thrust) use an inverter-controlled AC-Brushless motor (12–120 rpm) with soft start/stop to prevent water hammer.
ISO 5211 / NAMUR Interfaces, Seals, and Automated Valve Packages
Dual-drilled ISO 5211 / DIN 3337 flanges (F03 to F25) and NAMUR / VDI-VDE 3845 interfaces allow direct coupling to industrial valves, solenoid valves, and switch boxes.
Pneumatic units support standard NBR (-20°C to +85°C), high-temperature Viton/FKM (up to +150°C), and low-temperature Silicone (-40°C to +85°C) seal kits.
Pre-assembled 8E electric packages and 8P pneumatic packages integrate Valbia actuators with Valpres and Bonomi Group 2-way, 3-way, high-pressure, and butterfly valves (such as 8E000 AISI 316-CF8M up to PN 140 and 8P007100 flanged 3-way up to PN 40), supported by ATEX, IECEx, UL, CSA, DNV, and RINA compliance.
