Bürkert Type 3360 and Type 3361 electromotive process valves

The Bürkert Types 3360 and 3361 electromotive process valves offer precision control without the need for compressed air. The valves are designed as a complete unit and provide a robust, highly efficient solution suitable for process applications where reliability and precision are key factors. They are available with either a globe valve (Type 3361) for the highest precision or an angle seat valve (Type 3360) for more general applications.

The actuator can be specified with an HMI display module for configuring the valve settings, or for a more basic application, the HMI can be omitted and the fundamental functions of the valve can be operated via a series of four DIP switches and two buttons.

An optional feature ensures a safe valve position is achieved in the event of a power failure. The SAFEPOS energy pack allows the valve to be operated automatically to a predetermined position. The energy pack, with a nominal lifetime of 10 years, can be monitored through the network connection.

The control valve housing incorporates an illuminated LED ring which indicates the status and can be seen from any direction, and there is a mechanical position indicator which shows the exact valve position that still works in the event of a power failure.

A service connection enables the COMMUNICATOR software to configure the device, apply fault diagnosis and update software. There are also several fieldbus options for networking, such as EtherNet/IP, Modbus and Profinet, which are provided through the fieldbus gateway.
