Forta Series

Globe Valve Actuators

The Forta Series globe valve actuator is a programmable linear actuator family for use with VB7000, VB8000 and VB9000 series two- and three-way valves. The actuators are easily configured for floating or proportional control, direct or reverse action, stroke timing and flow characteristics. An automatic input control signal setup allows for easy field installation onto existing Scheider Electric globe valves. The Forta actuator can also be purchased as part of a complete valve assembly for new applications/installations (order the VU Series).
