Actuators/Positioners

 

 

Air-to-Lower

Air-to-Raise

 

Lin-E-AireŽ Valve Actuators offer the ultimate in precision diaphragm motor control. These actuators are available in either air-to-lower or air-to-raise types. Both types feature easily accessible spring compression nuts permitting easy range change and adjustment.

These actuators employ molded Buna-N rubber diaphragms reinforced with nylon, for resilient, easy valve action. No more than 10% of the diaphragm area is lost during a full stroke of the actuator, thereby imparting a practically constant force throughout the length of the stroke.

SPECIFICATIONS
Air Supply Connection: 1/4" NPT.
Temperature Limit: 150°F (66°C).
Materials of Construction:
  Diaphragm: Molded Buna-N rubber, nylon reinforced.
  Diaphragm Support Plate: Plated steel.
  Spring: Plated spring steel.
  Push Rod: Plated cold rolled steel.
  Housing: Drawn steel with baked enamel finish.
  Yoke: Cast iron with baked enamel finish.
  Spring Adjustment: Plated cold rolled steel, ball thrust bearing.

CAUTION: Use of an actuator supply gas other than air can create a hazardous environment because a small amount of gas continuously vents to atmosphere.

  1. Select Air-to-Raise (Lower) actuator based on control (valve) action and fail-safe condition requirements.
  2. Select minimum actuator size based on stroke, pneumatic control signal and maximum deliverable force requirements.
  3. Select spring based on stroke (T), pneumatic control range (typically, P1 = 3 PSI and P2 = 15 PSI), pre-load (typically, pressure drop x unbalanced area of plug ?P x AP) and maximum allowable spring force (Fmax).
    K= ((P2 x Ae2) - (P1 x Ae1) - ?P x AP)/T
Fmax. > (Pl x Ae1) + (K x T) + [(?P x AP) on air-to-open systems only].
