CBB-Series
CBB Key Features
CBA utilizes a Lip seal design utilizing a wider contact surface that doubles as a weather seal and pressure seal. There is one
lip seal on each end of the torque shaft.
CBB utilizes a dual o-ring design. There is an o-ring weather seal and o-ring pressures seal on each end of the torque shaft.
There is also a QPQ coated carbon steel washer a protecting the weather seal at each end of the torque shaft. This design
improves pressure seal protection from the elements and separates the pressure seal from the weather seal.

KEY FEATURE CBB CBA
Housing

Piston
The housing material and casting are identical between the CBA and CBB.
The CBB housing can not be retrofit with a
CBA torque shaft.
The CBB housing is machined differently in
the Torque Shaft opening.
The CBB Torque Shaft is machined for the
pressure seal.
The CBB utilizes the ductile iron piston
as standard. There is not an option for an
aluminum piston. By offering only one style
piston, ordering, filed upgrades, and service
is simplified as there is no requirement
to constantly verify the piston material for
differing service applications.
The CBA housing can not be retrofit with a
CBB torque shaft.
The CBA Torque Shaft does not have
a machined groove. It is smooth on the
pressure/weather sealing surface.
The CBA options two piston materials. The
standard piston material is aluminum with
an optional ductile iron piston. The high
temperature trim includes a ductile iron
piston by default when a high temperature
trim actuator is ordered from the factory. The
ductile iron piston may be ordered for any
configuration of the actuator. To retrofit a
standard actuator to high temperature trim,
the piston must be upgraded to ductile iron.

CBB-Series
The CBB is available in three main
temperature trims. These are:
Standard Temperature (-00) - -20°F to
+200°F (-29°C to +93°C).
Low Temperature (-11) - -40°F to
+180°F (-40°C to +82°C) non-PED.
High Temperature (-10) - 0°F to +350°F
(-18°C to +177°C).
All three trims include are standard with
the ductile iron piston.
Housing seal for Spring Return models, Housing and Cylinder seals for Double Acting
models for both CBA and CBB.
CBB utilizes a thread seal design to ease
Travel Stop setup and increase seal life.
CBB utilizes a thread seal design to ease
jackscrew operation and increase seal life
during operation.
An identically sized CBA and CBB actuator will have the same torque outputs.
Operating pressures for CBA and CBB are from 40 to 150 PSIG (3 to 10 BAR)
An identically sized CBA and CBB actuator, will maintain the operating pressure ratings,
MAWP, and MSP.
The CBA and CBB have the same dimensions.
CBB service kits will be available on release
of the CBB.
The service kits are not interchangeable between the CBA and CBB.
The CBA and CBB have the same location, size, and bolt holes for the accessory mounting
pad.
The CBA and CBB utilize the same design dual valve mounting interface to permit flexibility
for changing the actuator fail mode, without disassembly, by simply inverting the actuator.
The actuators may be installed in any position; parallel or at right angles to the flow line, in
the vertical or the horizontal plane.
The CBA and CBB are rated for to IP 66 and IP67M.
The CBA and CBB have the same agency approvals.

PED 97/23/EC Compliant
CBA and CBB have 5 year material and workmanship.
The difference in ordering a CBA vs a CBB is a change in the third character from an “A” to
a “B”. All other model nomenclature is the same.
The CBA is available in three main
temperature trims. These are:
Standard Temperature (-00) - -20°F to
+200°F (-29°C to +93°C).
Low Temperature (-11) - -40°F to
+180°F (-40°C to +82°C) non-PED.
High Temperature (-10) - 0°F to +350°F
(-18°C to +177°C).
The High Temperature trim includes the
optional ductile iron piston.
CBA utilizes an o-ring design on the
pressurized Travel Stop.
CBA utilizes an o-ring design.
CBA service kits are still available.
