1 Keystone Figure 777 Electric Actuator Models EPI-3 to EPI-151. Electric Actuator for Quarter-turn Valves For Output Torques to 15,100 Features and Benefits Permanently lubricated self-locking gear train eliminates the need for motor brakes. Standard manual override does not require use of levers or latches. Mechanical travel stops adjustable to 15 degrees in both directions for precise adjustment to valve travel requirements. Available in NEMA 4X or NEMA 7. enclosures with Factory Mutual, UL. or CSA approvals. UL recognized motor with thermal overload devices in motor windings protects the motor should overheating occur. Dynamometer calibrated torque switches available in units with 600. or more Output torque eliminate requirement for field calibration. Epoxy coated aluminum housings permit service in aggressive environ- ments. Explosion-proof versions utilize zinc-aluminum alloy for maximum enclosure integrity.
