Operation
The actuator accepts a 0 to 10 Vdc or a 4 to 20 mA control signal. The actuator mounted
on a valve, produces a stroke proportional to the input signal. When power is turned off
or in the event of a power failure, the SKD62U Actuator spring returns the valve to its
normal position, and the SKD60U Actuator fails in place.

Spring return: When power is turned off or
in the event of a power failure, the actuator
spring returns the valve to its normal
position.
Non-spring return: When power is turned
off or in the event of a power failure, the
actuator maintains its position.
