Product Overview
The Burkert 8792 (Part No. 00317986) is a high-performance electropneumatic positioner engineered for precise control of pneumatically actuated process valves. As a member of Burkert’s advanced 8792 series, this unit combines robust industrial construction with intelligent control electronics to deliver accurate valve positioning in demanding process environments. The positioner operates by comparing a setpoint signal (typically 4–20 mA or 0–10 V) against the actual valve stem position via a non-contact position sensor, then modulating the pneumatic output pressure to the actuator to eliminate deviation. This closed-loop control ensures optimal flow regulation, enhanced process stability, and reduced air consumption. The 8792 is designed for direct mounting to linear and rotary actuators in accordance with NAMUR and IEC 60534 standards, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of industrial valve automation tasks.
