Product Overview
The Foxboro Eckardt SRI986-BIDS7EAANA and SRI986-BID7FAANA Electro-Pneumatic Valve Positioners are industrial control instruments designed for accurate positioning and regulation of pneumatic valve actuators. Manufactured under the Foxboro Eckardt brand, associated with Schneider Electric, the SRI986 Series converts 4–20 mA electrical control signals into proportional pneumatic outputs for precise valve movement. Its mechanical force-balance operating principle supports stable valve positioning, adjustable response, and reliable process control in industrial automation systems.
The SRI986-BIDS7EAANA features single-acting pneumatic operation, direct-acting control, adjustable zero and span settings, and an intrinsically safe ATEX configuration. The SRI986 Series also supports optional position transmitters, limit switches, pneumatic boosters, and gauge manifolds. Its rugged aluminium housing and compatibility with linear and rotary actuators make it suitable for oil and gas processing, chemical manufacturing, petroleum refining, power generation, water treatment, and industrial valve automation. The second supplied reference, SRI986-BID7FAANA, requires nameplate verification because it does not match the complete manufacturer ordering-code structure.

How do I find the right part for my system?
Three options. Search by part number if you have the OEM code from Parker, Danfoss, Linde, Kawasaki, Kayaba or Grundfos — our search recognises both manufacturer codes and aftermarket cross-references. Browse by category if you know the component type (pumps, valves, cylinders, etc.). Or send a spec sheet to our engineering desk and we'll cross-reference against our 3,000+ SKU catalogue within one business day.
Can you help me size a pump or valve for my application?
Yes — sizing support is included with every order. Send us your operating pressure, flow rate, viscosity, drive speed and duty cycle, and our engineers will recommend a suitable component from our catalogue with full datasheets. We don't custom-build parts ourselves, but we can spec the right OEM component for almost any standard industrial application.
Can you cross-reference a discontinued part?
Yes — cross-referencing is one of the things we do most. Send us the original part number (even if the manufacturer has dropped it) and our engineering desk will identify a current equivalent or compatible alternative. Cross-reference lookups are free and typically come back within 4 business hours.
