FRY-WA Series IoT Micro Electric Quarter-Turn Actuator
OVERVIEW
The FRY-WA Series IoT Micro Electric Quarter-Turn Actuator is an ultra-compact, high-torque smart electric actuator newly developed by Tianjin Freya Automation Technology Co., Ltd. (FRY). Designed specifically for 90° rotational valves including ball valves, butterfly valves, and air dampers, it accurately performs on-off opening/closing and high-resolution continuous modulating control across modern process automation pipelines.
Featuring an ultra-small footprint that reduces volume by more than 1/3 compared to traditional actuators of identical torque rating, the FRY-WA series integrates universal AC220V/DC24V voltage compatibility, a high-efficiency brushless motor, PWM stepless speed adjustment, an intuitive OLED graphic interface, and Modbus RTU communication. It is widely applied across food and beverage processing, environmental water treatment, papermaking, fine chemicals, power utilities, HVAC, and smart agricultural automation systems.

FEATURES OF ELECTRIC ACTUATORS
1. Ultra-compact volume and lightweight design: Volume is reduced by 1/3 compared to similar torque actuators on the market, minimizing pipeline footprint and installation stress;
2. Wide voltage adaptability: Universally supports both AC 220V and DC 24V power supplies, offering maximum flexibility and interchangeability for varied industrial fields;
3. High torque and high power density: Delivers strong, stable rated torque of 20 N·m (FRY-WA-20) and 50 N·m (FRY-WA-50), ensuring reliable valve shutoff under pressure;
4. Ultra-low power consumption: Low operating power consumption of only 10W, substantially lowering operational energy costs while maintaining high efficiency;
5. Smooth PWM stepless speed regulation: Adopts continuous PWM speed modulation (30% to 100% range) to ensure silky-smooth operation and eliminate fluid water hammer;
6. High-performance brushless motor: Maintenance-free industrial brushless DC motor delivers high starting torque, no carbon brush wear, and long operational lifespan;
7. Built-in thermal and stall overload protection: Comprehensive electrical and mechanical overload monitoring automatically protects the motor and valve stem from damage;

8. High positioning accuracy: Absolute optical encoder positioning achieves a high closed-loop control accuracy of 0.5% without deadband hunting;
9. OLED high-resolution graphic display: Real-time OLED screen clearly presents actual valve position %, control mode, operating status, setpoint %, accuracy, and alarm diagnostics;
10. Standard Modbus RTU protocol: Integrated RS485 communication interface seamlessly connects with PLC, DCS, SCADA, and IoT cloud platforms;
11. Multiple control modes: Available in standard On-Off type, 4-20mA/0-10V analog modulating type, and fieldbus communication type;
12. Fail-safe loss-of-signal protection: In modulating mode, loss of 4-20mA input automatically triggers preset safety action (Hold in place, Full Open, Full Close, or Safety angle);
13. Convenient manual override: Equipped with emergency hex wrench socket and push-up manual clutch lever for effortless manual operation during power failure;
14. Durable hybrid enclosure: ABS flame-retardant upper cover + TPE tactile buttons + PC lens combined with precision die-cast aluminum base for high strength;
15. Universal ISO 5211 mounting interface: Octagon female drive socket (□11×11 / □14×14mm) and ISO 5211 flange (F03/F05/F07) enable direct mounting to valves without brackets;
16. Wide valve compatibility: Perfectly couples with UPVC/CPVC plastic ball valves, stainless steel ball valves, small-diameter butterfly valves, and dampers (DN15~DN40).
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
Diversified needs
To satisfy diverse operating requirements across chemical dosing, ultrapure water processing, HVAC building automation, and corrosive fluid lines, the FRY-WA series provides customizable power inputs (AC220V / DC24V), dual torque classes (20 Nm / 50 Nm), flexible drive bushing sizes (9×9, 11×11, 14×14mm), and diverse control configurations (On-Off, Modulating 4-20mA, Modbus RS485).
Superior performance

Quality Assurance
Every FRY-WA micro electric actuator undergoes 100% full-stroke torque testing, PWM speed calibration, encoder linearity verification, dielectric withstand testing, and environmental sealing checks before delivery, guaranteeing zero-defect reliability in critical industrial installations.
Long warranty period
MAIN FUNCTIONS
Explosion Proof
Engineered with high flame-retardant ABS and precision-sealed aluminum housing meeting industrial intrinsic safety standards; optional Ex d IIB T4 explosion-proof enclosures are available for hazardous chemical environments.
Colors
Standard finish features high-visibility industrial orange upper housing with high-grade gray anti-corrosion lower base; custom enclosure colors and labeling are available for OEM valve manufacturers.
Protection grade
Standard IP65 / IP67 ingress protection with precision O-ring radial seals and waterproof PG cable connectors effectively prevents rain, moisture, chemical splashes, and dust ingress.
Low-temperature
Standard operating temperature range is -20°C to +60°C. Optional low-temperature configuration with internal anti-condensation heating elements operates reliably down to -40°C in outdoor cold climates.

CONTROL MODE
External control
Standard on-off control mode accepts remote dry contact or active voltage switching signals (YCK Open, YCG Close) and outputs passive dry contact feedback (QK Open, QG Close) with continuous position telemetry.
Integrated control
Integrated microprocessor modulating module directly receives standard 4-20mA DC or 0-10V DC analog control signals, executing closed-loop digital servo positioning via high-resolution encoder without an external positioner.
Fieldbus
Supports digital RS485 Modbus RTU communication protocol with programmable slave addresses (1 to 250) and selectable baud rates, providing full remote telemetry, parameter configuration, and diagnostics.
