Thanks to our comprehensive range of services \u2013 including training, on-site service, fastening analysis, and consulting \u2013 we live up to our quality standards for our customers every single day and work together with them to develop the premium fasteners of tomorrow. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening and Closing Valves of All Types<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Plarad\u2019s success story is closely linked to the continuous development and optimization of its products. Whether in the pulp and paper industry, the petrochemical industry, or the water management sector, for example, high-performance, fast, yet easy-to-use tools are essential. That\u2019s why we support our customers with our nutrunners not only in the production and manufacturing of fittings, pipes, and pipe fittings, but also when opening and closing valves. \u201cThanks to our close collaboration with our customers and our many years of experience with nutrunners, we have brought Plarad\u2019s proven quality to the valve sector,\u201d says Dirk Schr\u00f6der-Cicak, product manager at Plarad. \u201cWith the DA2 motion, we meet all of our customers\u2019 requirements for working in a way that is easy on the body while also being fast and effective.\u201d    <\/p>\n<p>The Plarad DA2 motion battery-powered gate valve actuator is used to open and close valves such as butterfly valves, ball valves, or gate valves. With a maximum output speed of up to 118 rpm, maintenance of your valves is quick and easy. Thanks to the drive\u2019s smooth start-up and stop function, it not only prevents torsional damage to spindles but also minimizes pipeline shocks that can lead to system damage or failure. And the DA2 is not only easy to transport but also simple to operate. \u201cOur gate valve actuator can be used directly by the operator without extensive training,\u201d explains Schr\u00f6der-Cicak. \u201cIt\u2019s ready for immediate use and requires no time-consuming preparatory work. That saves time and money.\u201d      <\/p>\n<p>Depending on the application, the Plarad DA2 motion can be customized with additional accessories, such as the multifunctional handwheel clamp (universal for all standard handwheels, adaptable to 2\u20135 spokes), the side drive for axial offset with rising spindles, or an attachment for above-ground and below-ground hydrants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Optional Accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Automotive voltage converter for mobile use of the charger<\/li>\n<li>Set of coupling sleeves for all standard pipe nominal diameters (DN)<\/li>\n<li>PLARAD Torque Control TC1 (Torque Measurement)<\/li>\n<li>Custom adapters between the actuator and the valve (custom designs)<\/li>\n<li>Telescoping reaction arm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Standard Package Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fast Charger<\/li>\n<li>2 x 5.2 HighPower Li-ion batteries<\/li>\n<li>Convenient Transport and Storage Case<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DA2 motion \u2013 The Battery-Powered Sliding Machine \u2013 Proven Quality from Plarad As a manufacturer of fastening equipment since 1962, we look back on a history marked by innovation and reliable products in the field of fastening technology \u2013 Made in Germany.
