Kinitics Automation announces its partnership with CVS Controls Ltd., a prominent manufacturer and distributor of control valves and associated instrumentation, to distribute KVA38 valve actuators into Western Canada. This partnership marks an important step forward in bringing advanced Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) technology to the forefront of the energy and process control industries.
With a well-established reputation for excellence in the manufacturing and distribution of control valves and related instruments, CVS Controls is uniquely positioned to represent and distribute Kinitics’ line of KVA38 globe valve actuators. Through this collaboration, Kinitics Automation will leverage CVS Controls’ extensive market reach and industry expertise to make the KVA38 more accessible to sectors requiring reliable, zero-emission, electric valve actuation solutions.
The KVA38 is an electric valve actuator featuring SMA technology, a breakthrough that enables precise linear motion with fail-safe mechanical spring return. This makes it ideally suited for energy and industrial applications, including separators, artificial lift, pressure stations, and other critical systems. By choosing the KVA38, customers gain a dependable alternative to pneumatic actuators, offering significant reductions in maintenance and operational costs while fully aligning with the industry’s shift towards lower environmental impact.
The KVA38 represents a new standard in electric valve actuation. Designed to operate on either 24VDC or 120VAC power, it supports both analog (4-20 mA) and MODBUS communication, enabling integration into existing control systems. Its non-emitting design ensures compliance with current methane emission regulations, making it an ideal choice for applications focused on environmental sustainability.
Unlike conventional electric actuators, the KVA38 can operate continuously at a 100% duty cycle, achieving zero-deadband throttling without compromising on longevity. The fail-safe feature, provided by a built-in mechanical spring, ensures that the actuator will revert to a closed position in the event of power or signal loss, enhancing safety in critical applications.
