Abstract

See full text

A synchronous motor and a valve having a valve actuator and valve assembly is provided. The valve actuator includes the synchronous motor. The synchronous motor utilizes a magnetic coil, a stator and a rotor to generate rotational movement to drive the valve member for the valve assembly. The valve has a normal state in which the valve is maintained when power is not supplied to the motor. The valve has a non-normal actuated state when power is supplied to the motor. The motor is stalled in the non-normal state to maintain the valve in that state. The rotor includes a rotor shaft that passes through a magnetic hub of the stator. The rotor shaft is supported by a plurality of plastic and/or nylon bearings to prevent corrosion therebetween when the rotor shaft and bearings remain in a substantially fixed orientation for an extended period of time.
