Harold Beck & Sons Launches Next-Gen Actuator Harold Beck & Sons Inc.’s Beck 88-109 Multi-Turn Actuator is engineered for performance and longevity, and delivers main tenance-free, reliable control for rising and non-rising stem gate valves, large butterfly valves or any multiturn applications across the water, energy, manufacturing and process industries. Building on decades of

The 88-109 Multi-Turn Actuator is designed for water and wastewater treatment facilities, power generation plants, chemical and process plants, oil and gas trans mission and refining or virtually any industrial setting. Haroldbeck.com

innovation, the Beck 88-109 is specifically for the harsh est industrial conditions, offering rugged construc tion, advanced control and user-friendly features. Key advantages include durability, and a robust gear train that ensures reliable perfor mance, even in demanding, continuous-duty modulating service; a no-burn-out motor; and a nonintrusive Wi-Fi configuration. In addition, end users benefit from maintenance-free operation, as the design eliminates oil baths and routine service points, minimizing downtime and reducing overall cost of ownership.

Rosemount Pressure Transmitter The Rosemount 4051S Pressure Transmitter from Emerson offers the flexibility to meet the most demanding pressure measure ment challenges by increasing performance and operational insights. It provides local real-time control and eliminates the need for a separate device, such as a programmable logic controller. This functionality is provided by two relay switches, each of which can be configured to provide on/off control of pumps, motors and other equipment. These switches can also provide alerts based on pressure, flow, totalized flow, level, volume or module temperature. The transmitter is engineered to withstand the toughest processes and the harshest environments,

be used in the most demanding applications. A best-in-class 800:1 turndown ratio reduces the number of unique models needed to be kept in stock, streamlining inventory. Advanced diagnostics provide more in sights, with loop integrity continuously mon itoring the health of the entire electrical loop to detect potential failures. The transmitter can also diagnose other abnormal conditions, such as cavitation, using its built-in process intelligence. Built-in calibration and diagnostic logs provide the information needed to optimize maintenance and perform root cause analysis. Bluetooth connectivity from up to 50 feet (15 meters) away improves safety by allowing plant personnel to access the transmitter to avoid entering hazardous areas. emerson.com/ Rosemount4051S

with a 20-year warranty and 20-year stability specification, both unique to the pressure transmitter market. Fast re sponse time of 40 millisec onds allows the 4051S to
