Spring return controlled by limit switch

Features

• Rack & pinion construction delivering torques upto 5000 Nm in a compact size
• The actuator is suitable for coarse fine adjustment, typically for batching operations or processes
• The actuator has to be spring return
• The operation sequences fixed from full open, partial open to full close
• Infinite intermediate positions are possible with the limit switch
• It can be fine tuned to the application easily
• The settings can be changed at site with ease, by simply adjusting the third cam provided
• It is applicable for 90 or 180
• Any spring return actuator can be converted into this arrangement by adding Metso limit switch along with NAMUR valve type 30138
• The accuracy and repeatability depends upon the air pressure variation, change in the torque of ball valve, change in density and the pressure of media, etc
• Expected range 3% with all considerations

3-position rotary actuator, double acting/single acting, 3-position mechanical stopper

Features

• The actuator is suitable for coarse fine adjustment, typically for batching operations or processes
• The actuator has to be double acting
• The repeatability is 100% since stopping is by mechanical stoppers. It is suitable for application calling for the precise fine-coarse adjustment like liquid filling system
• The actuator can be switched to one, position from any other position very easily with the solenoid control. The 3rd position is achieved by the mechanical stopping of the piston movement, in the return stroke by pneumatic stopper pistons
• The Intermediate position is present at 20% opening. The opening can be adjusted as required by the set screw. This is field adjustable
• The actuator as a standard, works in reverse action, as opposed to conventional configuration i.e. piston inward stroke opens the valve, and piston outward stroke closes the valve
• The end stops (+/- 10 C) are provided on the closing and opening side of the actuator for setting valve closing precisely
• The springs can be provided to bring actuator to mid position as a standard

• It can be converted to 3 position 0 90 180 actuator for 3-way valves using ROTEX limit switch and NAMUR valve type 30138
• The end stop adjustment is provided for opening and closing direction as a standard
• Actuator mounting is as per ISO 5211 and accessories to NAMUR
• 180 actuator has 50% of torque value of 90 actuator version

QTF actuator for regulating service

Features

• Backlash free operation between rack and pinion makes the actuator suitable for regulation duty coupled along with positioner (pneumatic or electro-pneumatic)
• Long life of the actuator seals, the non-wearing characteristic of the mechanical parts ensure that the control action is maintained, over the life time of the actuator
• It can be coupled along with the various types of valves (ball, V-port ball or plug, segment ball, butterfly, plug) or louvers and dampers for variety of applications
• Typical control schemes along with the regulating actuator includes provisions for:
  • 1. Air failure safety includes stay-put or fail safe operation, like full close or full open
  • 2. Power failure safety, including stay-put or fail safe operation, like full close or full open
  • 3. Both air & power failure safety, including above
• The single acting 180 actuator can provide centre off for the 3-way ball valve, bottom entry by choosing theoption, of 3-position
• It can be converted to 3-position 0 90 180 actuator for 3-way valves using Metso limit switch and NAMUR valve type 30138
• The end stop adjustment is provided for opening and closing direction as a standard
• Actuator mounting is as per ISO 5211 and accessories to NAMUR
