Valworx Electric actuators are intermittent duty, meaning they can work at a constant load, but require a rest period with no movement to cool down to ambient temperature. For example, the actuator in the following diagram has a 75% duty cycle, thus the motor may be rotating in either direction for a maximum of 75% of a minute, i.e. 45 seconds. After which, 15 seconds of rest must be observed, represented by the red crescent on the clock.
