1.2 Warehouse Storage
• All actuators should be stored in a clean, dry warehouse, free from excessive
vibration and rapid temperature changes.
• All actuators should not be stored directly to the oor surface - it must be placed in
racks/shelves or use a pallet.
1.3 On-Site Storage
• All actuators should be stored in a clean, dry warehouse, free from excessive
vibration and rapid temperature changes.
• Prevent moisture or dirt from entering the actuator. Plug or seal both air
connection ports.

Section 2: Introduction
This section explains:
• How to identify the received product.
• The intended use of the product.
• Construction details.
• Actuator specications.
2.1 Identification
The FieldQ Rack and Pinion actuators are available as double-acting or spring-return
versions. 13 models are available, ranging from 40 Nm to 1600 Nm (354 to 14161 lbf.in)
nominal torque output.
The FieldQ package consists of an actuator with a module for control and position feed
back and forms an integrated concept for “On/Off” valve automation.
Section 2: Introduction
April 2019
1. Basic Actuators
The basic actuator supplies the torque, required to open and close valves and is
available in various sizes (rated 47 to 1676Nm at 5.5barg or 413 to 14874 In.lb. at 80pisg).
Double acting and spring return executions are available. The spring return execution can be
equipped with multiple spring sets to cover a pressure range from 2 to 8 barg (30 to 120 psig).
The springs in the spring-return version allow a fail action in case of loss of air supply
pressure (Fail-to-Close or Fail-to-Open). As from size FD150 double-acting versions have
at end caps to reduce actuator length and internal air volume.
The springs in the spring-return version allow a fail action in case of loss of air supply
pressure (Fail-to-Close or Fail-to-Open).
As from size 150 double-acting versions have at end caps to reduce actuator length and
internal air volume.
2. Control Modules
The Control Modules contain, next to the components for feedback switches, also all the
pneumatic control components.
Its compact and robust construction incorporates basic control and feedback functionality
and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
3. NAMUR Adaptation Plate
The top ange of the FieldQ actuator is equipped with a NAMUR (VDE/VDI 3845) drilling
pattern. The addition of a NAMUR plate makes the FieldQ actuator suitable for mounting
all kinds of NAMUR compatible control accessories like solenoids. For more info on NAMUR
plate, see sheet 1.605.03.

Mentioned pressure levels are "gauge pressures".
Gauge pressure is equal to absolute pressure minus
atmospheric pressure.
NOTE:
Use of lters, pressure regulators, lubricator and an oil/water separator mounted in the air
supply line, will allow a smooth and durable operation of the actuator.
For lubricated supply air, it is recommended to use a non-detergent oil without aggressive
additives, VG32, group 2 (ISO 3448).

SAFETY
In case of an air or electrical failure, it is important to know the behavior of the actuator.
Before mounting the actuator on a valve, consult the following sections below.
4.2 Actuator Rotation Direction
4.2.1 Valve Rotation
For the following paragraphs we assume that valves rotate as indicated in Figure 3.

The valve is closed after
a clockwise rotation.
The valve is open after
a counterclockwise rotation.

4.3 Principles of Operation
4.3.1 Solenoid Valve Operation / NAMUR Adaptation Plate
FieldQ actuators can be either piped with solid or exible tubing with the solenoid valve
mounted remotely from the actuator or by mounting a VDI/VDE 3845 (NAMUR) designed
solenoid valve DIRECTLY onto the NAMUR adaptation plate on the side of the actuator.

4.3.2 Ingress Protection (IP) Rating
FieldQ actuators are IP66 / NEMA4 rated. In case of IP66 or NEMA4 requirements, take
precautions that comply with the IP66 / NEMA4 requirements to prevent moisture or dust
from entering the actuator through the open air exhaust port(s), either directly on the
actuator or at the exhaust ports of the connected solenoid valve.
We recommend to connect tubing to the exhaust(s) and lead this into a dry and dust free
area, or to use check valves in the exhaust.
4.3.3 Control Module Operation
The operating principle, as explained here, is applicable for actuators with assembly code
CW (direct acting).
• The outward stroke will move the valve to the “Open” position.
• The inward stroke will move the valve to the “Closed” position.
• For assembly codes CC, the operating principle is reversed (reverse acting):

4.3.5 Spring-Return Actuators
The operating principle, as explained here, is applicable for actuators with assembly code
CW (direct acting).
• Applying supply pressure to port A will move the pistons outwards to the "Open"
position of the valve.
• Venting the supply pressure from port A will cause the springs to move the pistons
inwards to the "Close" position of the valve.
• For assembly codes CC, the operating principle is reversed (reverse acting):

4.3.6 Position Feedback
The FieldQ Series actuator (1) has a patented, contact-less position sensing system.
This system consists of a position probe (2) which is rides on a special curve (4) in the
pinion bottom.
The curve is shaped in such a way that the position probe moves linearly and proportionally
to the rotation of the actuator pinion.
The linear movement of the position probe is used, inside the control module (3) to
operated the limit switches.
CAUTION
Do not put the Control module in direct contact with magnetic material. This can cause
damage or malfunction of the position feedback.
