Danfoss next generation modulating actuator

DENMARK: Danfoss has released a new AME 110NL(X) modulating actuator for AB-QM 4.0 pressure independent balancing control valves. 

The new actuators are said to be significantly upgraded and designed to enhance the performance and efficiency of hydronic HVAC systems. 

The AME 110NL(X) modulating actuators are engineered to deliver high-precision control for AB-QM 4.0 pressure independent balancing control valves in DN 15-32 range. With new features and improvements, they replace the existing AME 110NL(X) and AME 120NL models. 

One of the standout enhancements is said to be the built-in digital step motor. It has a 15x higher resolution of 4,000 positions over the full valve stroke compared to its predecessor which has a resolution of 256 steps.

The IP rating has been upgraded from IP42 to IP54. The actuators also support both 24V AC and DC power supplies, with automatic detection of the power type. The speed is now selectable at 3sec/mm or 12sec/mm. Additionally, the actuators feature advanced electronic calibration and valve stroke detection, ensuring optimal performance and easy setup.
