Pneumatic Control Valve Spiraxsarco and New Stock FOXBORO Controller and SP7 EP6SLS1-A Electro-Pneumatic Positioner
The Spirax Sarco EP6SLS1-A is a reliable electro-pneumatic positioner that converts a 4-20 mA control signal into precise pneumatic output for accurate valve positioning. Designed for single-acting linear actuators conforming to NAMUR, it ensures exact proportionality between input signal and valve stroke, with a rugged die-cast aluminum housing suitable for outdoor installation.
- Two-wire loop-powered design requiring only the 4-20 mA signal.
- High-precision control with low hysteresis and good repeatability.
- Built-in pressure gauge (standard on many configs) to monitor output air pressure.
- Weather-protected aluminum enclosure for reliable outdoor use.
- Easy mounting on linear actuators with optional kits (e.g., EY series).
- Adjustable action for direct or reverse signal response.
- Low steady-state air consumption for efficient operation.

Q: What actuators does it work with?
A: Any NAMUR-compatible linear or rotary pneumatic actuators; linear stroke 20–150 mm.
Q: Is it loop-powered?
A: Yes—two-wire, powered directly by the 4-20 mA signal.
Q: Can it be used outdoors?
A: Yes, with IP66 protection and treated aluminum housing.
Q: What's the air supply requirement?
A: Clean, dry air 1.4–7 bar per ISO 8573-1:2010 Class 3:3:2.
Q: Does it include a gauge?
A: Standard models often feature a supply/output pressure gauge.
