New thermal actuator for unit valves for heating and climate control

SAUTER is launching the AXT4 valve actuator with stroke indicator for efficient and precise control succeeding the SAUTER AXT2 series. The AXT4 impresses with its proven SAUTER thermal technology, compact design, easy fitting and manual re-open function.

The SAUTER AXT4 meets the high-quality requirements for silent, durable thermal actuators for unit valves in room automation. First and foremost, it guarantees energy-efficient control precision for use in radiators, underfloor heating, chilled ceilings or fan coils units. It also impresses with its elegant design and easy fitting. This is a contemporary new edition of SAUTER’s successful actuator technology. The market launch replaces the AXT2 series.

Two basic types for different operating voltages are available, as well as NC “normally closed” and NO “normally open” versions. The standard cap nut enables direct fitting for all usual valve bodies. In addition, the AXT4 fits on unit valves of different designs. The first-open function enables force-free fitting on unit valves even if the intelligent unitary control has not yet been put into operation. Thanks to the additional re-open function, the actuator can be reset to the first-open position at any time and opened manually for servicing. Its handy format and the easy fitting in any position – even upside down – make the AXT4 a universal actuator that meets all the requirements of installers and end users.

The visible stroke indicator enables customers to see or check the valve opening quickly and from a distance. SAUTER also offers OEM customers customisation options, such as printing their own logo.

The AXT4 will be available from October 2021. Please contact our sales department.

SAUTER Head Office was the target of a cyber security incident on November 20, 2024. SAUTER’s IT department immediately activated, well defined, internal emergency plans. All IT systems were completely isolated and shut down to successfully prevent the attack from spreading. External cybersecurity experts and data forensics specialists then began to check all systems and restore them securely. This process is unfortunately time-consuming, but absolutely necessary to ensure that the cyber-attack does not continue at a later date.


The SAUTER websites have been affected by the emergency operation and are available again with immediate effect.


There are currently no concrete indications that our customers' infrastructures have been compromised in any way by SAUTER devices. It appears to be an opportunistic incident with no clearly recognisable long-term goals or systematic attacks. The situation does not currently suggest that there is a targeted, sustained threat to the affected systems.
