Schneider Actuator MF20-230F

Schneider MF20 - 230F Actuator Product Description​ Model​ MF20 - 230F Product Range and Type​ The Schneider MF20 - 230F is a high - performing electric actuator, part of the MF20 product series. Engineered with precision, it is designed to offer reliable and efficient operation for diverse industrial and commercial applications.​ Actuator Application​ Specifically crafted for butterfly valves, this actuator plays a pivotal role in regulating fluid flow within pipelines. Its rotary motion ensures smooth and accurate adjustment of the butterfly valve's position, optimizing the performance of the overall fluid - handling system. Whether in a large - scale industrial plant or a commercial building's water - treatment system, it provides dependable control over the flow rate.​ Mechanical and Electrical Features​ Motor Type: As an electric actuator, it offers consistent and efficient operation.​ Control Type: Electrically operated, providing seamless integration with electrical control systems. This type of control allows for easy activation and deactivation, ensuring precise control over the actuator's movement.​ Switch Function: Comes with 2 SPDT (optional) switches, offering flexibility in control and connection options. These switches can be configured to suit specific application requirements, such as controlling the direction of rotation or enabling additional safety features.​ Rated Supply Voltage: Operates on a 230 V AC power supply, making it compatible with standard electrical networks in many regions. This voltage rating ensures stable and reliable power input for the actuator's operation.​ Power Consumption: During operation, it consumes only 3 W of power, with an AC power consumption of 7 VA. The hold - in power consumption is a mere 0.4 W, making it highly energy - efficient. This low power consumption not only reduces operating costs but also contributes to a more sustainable operation.​ Power Loss Return: In case of power loss, it stays in place, maintaining the current position of the butterfly valve. This feature is crucial in applications where the valve's position needs to be preserved during power outages to prevent disruptions in the fluid - handling process.​ Control Signal: Supports 2 - position (on/off) and floating control signals. The 2 - position control allows for simple and direct operation, while the floating control provides more flexibility in different control scenarios, enabling smooth and continuous adjustment of the actuator's position.​ Electrical Insulation Class: With an electrical insulation class of Class II, it offers enhanced safety in electrical installations. This class of insulation provides additional protection against electrical malfunctions, ensuring user safety and reliable operation.​ Physical Specifications​ Tightening Torque: Generates a tightening torque of 177 lb.in (20 N.m), providing sufficient power to operate the butterfly valve effectively. This high - torque output ensures that the actuator can overcome any resistance and rotate the valve smoothly, even in challenging operating conditions.​ Position Indicator: Features a stroke indicator on the bracket, allowing for easy visual monitoring of the actuator's position. This visual feedback simplifies the process of checking the valve's status, whether during installation, maintenance, or regular operation.​ Leads and Connections: Utilizes a terminal block for easy and reliable connection of wires. The terminal block design allows for quick and straightforward installation, making it easier to integrate the actuator into existing electrical systems.​ IP Degree of Protection: Has an IP54 enclosure class, protecting against dust and water splashing from all directions. This makes it suitable for use in a variety of indoor and outdoor environments, even in areas with some exposure to moisture and dust. The IP54 rating ensures that the actuator can withstand harsh environmental conditions without compromising its performance.​ Environmental Specifications​ Ambient Air Temperature for Operation: Can operate in an ambient air temperature range of 0…50 °C, ensuring reliable performance in different climatic conditions. Whether in a warm industrial setting or a temperate commercial environment, the actuator can function without compromise. This temperature range is suitable for most common operating environments, making it a versatile choice for various applications.
