A device for a valve actuator (1) is described, the valve actuator (1) being provided with a slide nut (5C) surrounding a portion of an actuator slide (3B) and being in engagement with an external threaded portion arranged on the actuator slide (3B), the slide nut (5C) being axially fixed relative to the actuator slide (3B), and the actuator slide (3B) being in rotation-preventing engagement with a portion (5F) of an actuator mounting (5A) or a valve housing (2A), and the slide nut (5C) being connected to a driving motor (5K, 10) via transmission means (5H, 51, 5J; 5H, 6C, 6D, 6E). Also, a method of operating a valve (1) is described, the method including the step of: providing an axial displacement of the actuator slide (3B) by rotating a slide nut (5C) which surrounds a portion of an actuator slide (3B), is in engagement with an external threaded portion arranged on the actuator slide (3B) and is axially fixed relative to the actuator slide (3B), the rotation being provided with the help of at least one driving motor (5K, 10). |
