Important data required for multi-turn electric actuator sizing
What is the valve thrust? Do you have any of the valve data? Size, manufacturer, rising stem or non-rising stem, etc.? You really should have stem dimensions to determine the stem factor - this will allow you to more accurately predict the torque required.- MNValveGuy

Important data required for multi-turn electric actuator sizing
The thrust base plates on multi-turn electric actuators have an upper limit. Where the thrust force is taken is another matter. If there is a thrust plate on the valve that takes that thrust force, your actuator will only see torque. If the actuator drive bushing is taking the thrust, then...- MNValveGuy
