Spirax Sarco SP7-10, SP7-11 and SP7-12 Smart Positioners
Spirax Sarco SP7-10, SP7-11 and SP7-12 smart positioners control pneumatic linear or rotary actuators and support 4-20 mA, HART, PROFIBUS PA or Foundation Fieldbus communication routes.
Quick facts
Where SP7 sits in the control range
SP7 belongs in the Spirax Sarco positioners, controllers and sensors range. The product documentation groups SP7-10, SP7-11 and SP7-12 together, so this page treats them as one documented SP7-1 smart positioner model group without separating each communication version.
Confirmed product facts
The SP7-1 documentation describes these smart positioners as electronically configurable devices for mounting on pneumatic linear or rotary actuators. The documentation also confirms these communication routes:
SP7-10: 4-20 mA input, with optional HART communicationSP7-11: PROFIBUS PA communicationSP7-12: Foundation Fieldbus communication
The top specification choices follow the SP7-1 communication variants: SP7-10, SP7-11 and SP7-12. Accessory or package rows that bundle installation kits, FR20A, pressure gauges or complete control valve packages are not used as selectable SP7 positioner specifications here.
What to confirm before selection
Before final specification, confirm the required communication route, hazardous-area requirement, actuator type, NAMUR mounting interface, air preparation package, pressure gauge requirement and whether the positioner is being ordered alone or as part of a complete control valve package.
Technical Information
Continue your SP7 selection route
SP7 selection usually sits inside a complete valve package decision that also includes the actuator, control valve, air preparation and feedback requirements.
Compare the wider positioner range
Return to positioners, controllers and sensors when you need to compare SP7 with adjacent Spirax Sarco feedback and control products.
Match the pneumatic actuator
Review pneumatic actuators when the immediate question is linear or rotary motion, single-acting or double-acting operation and mounting compatibility.
Build the complete control valve package
Use control valve pages when the project needs the valve body, actuator, positioner, FR20A and feedback accessories considered together.
