MK23-FA Electric Actuator

KUHNWAY ELECTRIC ACTUATOR

MK23 KUHNWAY electric actuator

Description

MK23-FA is an electric actuator with 90-degree rotation function. It has fast opening and closing characteristics, can effectively improve the system response speed, and is suitable for application environments with high requirements for action time. Its built-in over-torque protection device can automatically stop the action when the valve body is stuck or abnormal operation, prevent equipment damage, and ensure long-term stable operation of the system.

MK23-FA can be equipped with a proportional controller to achieve precise adjustment of the valve opening, which is suitable for scenarios requiring detailed flow or pressure control. The driver also supports on-site control and remote control methods, and can be flexibly integrated into various automation systems. The application areas cover a variety of application scenarios such as water treatment systems, process control, building management, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).

Standard Components

  • Watertight IP 65. (Optional : IP 66, IP 67, IP 68)

  • Over torque protection switch.

  • Mechanical position indicator, allows users to visually check the actuator's opening status.

  • Hand wheel.

  • Two limit switches.

  • The motor is equipped with an internal thermal protection device.

Special notes for installation of electric actuators

  • When mounting electric actuators with valves it is necessary of valves's shaft and mounting brackets, socket. vertical and same center to match the actuator's vertical and same center.

  • After completing the final setting for adjusting travel stops ,be sure to seal the two adjusting travel stops by water proof glue.

  • After completing wiring installation, be sure to seal the wiring connection hole by water proof glue after completing wiring installation.

  • Do not use electric actuators in the vacuum's chamber.

Optional Features Description

Modulating Control Unit (MCU)

Actuator can be operated according to input signal and provide the output signal for indicator.

  • Three input options : 4~20 mA、 1~5 VDC、 2~10 VDC

  • Output : 4~20 mA

MCU

Local Control Unit (LCU)

Local control unit is waterproof including four buttons with LED indicators. When the main control switches to on-site control mode, the controller allows the actuator to be opened and closed via the control panel. Similarly, the main control mode can switch back to remote operation mode, enabling the actuator to be controlled via a remote controller.

The on-site controller is designed to effectively prevent misoperation or accidents, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

LCU

Bracket and Socket

The MK series electric actuators use UNC thread standard mounting holes. If the valve body follows the ISO5211 standard, ISO5211-compatible brackets and sockets are required. These components ensure efficient compatibility, stable connections, and improved system reliability and efficiency.

Bracket

Other Components

A. Potentiometer (1kΩ)

​Provides feedback signal to indicate the opening status​

B. Auxiliary Microswitches (Dry Contact)

The standard model equips with the 1st & 2nd switches for fully-open and fully-closed. The option consists of the 3rd & 4th auxiliary switches which provide dry contacts for fully-open and fully-closed.

C. Heater

A space heater can increase the internal temperature and keep dry inside actuator to avoid the freezing lubricant and moisture causing actuator failure under low temperature or high humidity.

Component

MK23-FA is a 90° rotary electric actuator with fast open/close function, built-in torque protection, and optional modulating control for versatile operation.
