The Limitorque QXM is designed for rising-stem valve applications, including choke valves and small control valves in upstream oil and gas, water treatment, fossil fuel power generation, and renewable energy applications. The QXM is a smart electronic valve actuator available with either 6.5 total turns or a maximum of 20 total drive sleeve turns — an important feature for small valves that require limited travel and maximum control. The QXM encoder uses “system-on-chip” technology, which permits redundant, 12-bit resolution over 20 total turns, or an accuracy of less than 2 deg. of drive sleeve rotation. This redundancy is part of the built-in self-test feature of all Limitorque smart actuators.
