Industrial Applications

1. HVAC control of 20 mm stroke control valves

Ideal for modulating chilled water, heating water, or air-handling coil valves where precise 20 mm valve travel and 1000 N thrust are required.

Problem Solved

Provides stable proportional control of valve position under varying differential pressure and load conditions.

2. Frost-protection valve control in air-handling units

Used with frost protection thermostats or QAF21/QAF61 monitors to drive the valve toward a protective position when freeze risk is detected.

Problem Solved

Prevents coil freeze damage by forcing a coordinated protective stroke response.

3. Building automation with fieldbus valve actuation

SKD62/MO fits distributed building automation systems that require RS-485 Modbus RTU integration for remote command and status feedback.

Problem Solved

Reduces analog I/O wiring and enables supervisory control, status polling, and networked commissioning.
