FAQ

Question?
What type of valve is this LKLA actuator designed for?

This actuator is specifically designed for Alfa Laval’s sanitary quarter-turn valves, most commonly the LKB series butterfly valves used in hygienic industries.

Question?
Is this actuator ‘normally open’ (NO) or ‘normally closed’ (NC)?

The configuration (air-to-open/spring-to-close for NC, or air-to-close/spring-to-open for NO) depends on the internal spring setup. This cannot be determined from the external appearance alone, as both versions of the LKLA actuator exist. It’s crucial to verify the required function for your application.

Question?
Can I replace an older LKM LKLA with a modern Alfa Laval LKLA-T actuator?

Yes, in many cases, the newer LKLA-T series is a direct replacement for older LKLA models. However, it is always recommended to verify mounting dimensions, shaft connection size, and air supply requirements to ensure full compatibility before installation.
