The ARI-PACO Electric Thrust Actuator is equipped with advanced features to ensure optimal performance and reliability. One of its key functions is the automatic travel adaptation, which allows the actuator to automatically adjust its control and feedback signals based on the actual valve travel. During a manually initiated initialisation run, the real valve travel is determined, and the system adapts accordingly. This process is visually and mechanically indicated. The electronic travel switching ensures precise movement to the final positions by counting the steps needed to achieve the required nominal thrust, contributing to the long-lasting performance of the actuator.

Additionally, the actuator offers switchable valve blocking protection to safeguard the system from potential damage due to long periods of inactivity. When this feature is activated, the actuator briefly opens the valve every 24 hours to prevent the soft sealing from sticking to the valve seat. In cases where the valve becomes blocked, the actuator automatically attempts to remove the obstruction by sending various movement commands. These actions are signalled by a 13-volt feedback signal, providing real-time monitoring and protection of the system’s functionality.
