Pneumatic actuator, single acting and other mounting elements
PRINCIPLE OF SINGLE ACTUATOR FUNCTION:
The vertical air-spring (single-acting) pneumatic actuator is widely used in operations requiring a restart in a short period, with the advantage of its rapid and accurate response. The valve is opened by compressed air.
- Control shaft diameter 17 mm
- Drive height with carrier: 185 mm
- Drive diameter: 85.3 mm
- Torque: 20 Nm
- Control pressure: 4-8 bar (5-7 bar recommended)
- Operating temperature: –10 ° C to 100 ° C
- Adjustment speed: 1.5 sec / 90 °
- Material stainless steel AISI 304
A pneumatic single-acting actuator (air/spring) is used for opening and closing butterfly valves with compressed air (the recommended value for safe valve opening is 5 - 8 bar). The spring of the pneumatic actuator serves for closing the butterfly valve (without control air pressure) or in case of decreasing control air pressure for a safe closing of the valve (damper).
To control the pneumatic actuator, the actuator must be supplemented with a pilot (electromagnetic) valve for controlling the compressed air supply. The valve can also be equipped with inductive sensors to indicate the actual valve position (open/closed). This configuration allows you to operate the damper via a feedback control system in which position the damper is located.
The position of the flap is also indicated (visually) by a pin that is mounted on the control shaft.
