WE20-ETD04-LE-A
WE20-EDA06-LEWE20-CDA04-WP-AA07
The SERIES WE20 is offered in lug or wafer body styles and is equipped with a
PTFE or EPDM liner. The most critical aspect of the Series WE20 Buttery Valves
is the cartridge seat design, which alleviates installation problems associated with
common “dove tail design” seats. Valve torques are lower and more consistent as the
seat dynamics are not dependent on being coupled between two anges. Precision
machining of the disc and body allow the cartridge design to maintain a tighter disc to
seat tolerance, providing a perfect low torque seal each and every time the valve is
cycled. The seat to disc seal is independent of ange support and capable of full rated
dead end service.
Actuators are directly mounted creating a compact assembly for tight spaces. Limit
switches are able to be mounted directly to the valves allowing for remote position
indication.
The Series WE20 can be congured with either an electric or pneumatic actuator.
Electric actuators are available in weatherproof or explosion-proof, a variety of supply
voltages and two-position or modulating control. Two-position actuators use the supply
voltage to drive the valve open or closed, while the modulating actuator accepts a 4
to 20 mA input for valve positioning. Actuators feature thermal overload protection and
permanently lubricated gear train. The pneumatic double acting actuator uses an air
supply to drive the valve open and closed. The actuator has two supply ports, with one
driving the valve open and the other driving the valve closed. Spring return pneumatic
actuators use the air supply to open the valve, and internally loaded springs return the
valve to the closed position.
The pneumatic double acting actuator uses an air supply to drive the valve open
and closed. The actuator has two supply ports with one driving the valve open and
the other driving the valve closed. Spring return pneumatic actuators use the air
supply to open the valve and internally loaded springs return the valve to the closed
position. Also available is the SV3 solenoid valve to electrically switch the air supply
pressure between the air supply ports for opening and closing the valve. Actuators
are constructed of anodized and epoxy coated aluminum for years of corrosion free
service.

PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR
Note: For optimal operation, pneumatic actuators should be run with a supply of
clean, lubricated air.
Spring Return Actuator Operation
Air to PORT 2 (the left hand port) causes the actuator to turn counterclockwise
(CCW). Loss of air to PORT 2 causes air to exhaust and the actuator turns clockwise
(CW). This is the FAIL CLOSE operation.
Double Acting Actuators Operation
Air to PORT 2 (the left hand port) causes the actuator to turn counterclockwise
(CCW). Air to PORT 1 (the right hand port) causes the actuator to turn clockwise
(CW).
Pneumatic Actuator Maintenance
Routine maintenance of pneumatic actuator:
• Keep the air supply dry and clean
• Keep the actuator surface clean and free from dust
• Periodic checks should be done to make sure all ttings are tight
• Pneumatic actuators are supplied with lubrication to last the entire life span of the
actuator under normal operating conditions.
The outer surface of the pneumatic actuator should be clean to avoid friction
or corrosion. All ttings and connections should be tight to prevent leaks during
operation. Check the bolts mounting the valve to the actuator to make sure they
have not come loose during shipping or installation. Make sure the valve and
actuator are not rubbing or jamming against other components during operation.
The actuator should be inspected annually to make sure all ttings and bolts are
tight and nothing has come loose during operation.
Disassembling Pneumatic Actuators
WARNING
removed, and that the actuator has been disassembled from the valve.
1. Loosen the end cap fasteners (23) with a wrench (size varies depending on
actuator model). On the spring return actuator, alternate 3 to 5 turns on each fastener
until the springs are completely decompressed. Use caution when removing the cap
since the springs are under load until the fasteners are fully extended.
2. Remove the pinion snap ring (13) with a lock ring tool. The indicator (12) may
now be removed.
3. Turn the pinion shaft (2) counter clockwise until the pistons are at the full end of
travel. Disengage the pistons (15) from the pinion. (Note: Low pressure air--3 to 5
psi MAXIMUM--might be required to force the pistons completely from the body.)
Note the position of the pistons before removing them from the actuator body.
4. Remove the pinion through the bottom of the actuator. The actuator is now
Before beginning disassembly, ensure that the air supply to the
actuator has been disconnected, all accessories have been
1. Apply a light lm of grease to all O-rings and the pinion before replacing.
2. Put the pinion (2) back through the actuator with the ats of the pinion shaft
running parallel with the body.
3. When reassembling the actuator, make sure that the piston racks are square
to the actuator body and returned to their original orientation. (Note: The normal
operation of all spring return pneumatic actuators is FAIL CLOSED. To change the
orientation to FAIL OPEN, rotate the racks 180º to create a reverse operation.
4. When replacing springs in a spring return actuator, ensure that the springs are
replaced in their identical position in the end cap from which they were removed.
(Note: In some circumstances, you might want to change the standard 80 pound
spring set to t your application and available air pressure.
5. Seal the end caps with a petroleum lubricant and bolt to actuator body.
6. Check the seal of the actuator by covering seal areas (pinion, end caps) with
soapy water and using low pressure air to the actuator to ensure that no bubbles
are produced.
1. Check the solenoid valve. Is the
coil burnt out or is the solenoid
spool?
2. The actuator will not move
because of debris in the gears.
3. The pneumatic line to the
actuator is distorted or smashed.
4. The pneumatic line is frozen
because of low temperatures and
moisture.
1. The air supply pressure is
insufcient.
2. Are other pneumatic devices
consuming the air required for the
actuator to operate?
3. The pneumatic actuator is
undersized for the application.
Be sure the actuator surfaces are free of debris and scratches
before reassembling.
1. Replace the solenoid
valve coil or remove debris.
2. Disassemble the actuator,
clean the debris and
reassemble the actuator.
3. Replace pneumatic line to
the actuator.
4. Warm the pneumatic lines
and remove moisture from
supply lines.
1. Increase the air supply
pressure and look for leaks
in the supply pressure
pipeline.
2. Increase the air supply
or reduce the number of
devices operating at the
same time.
3. Replace the actuator with
a larger actuator.

Note: To speed up installation of the control wires to the ACT-MDXX modulating
actuator, it is recommended to remove the control module from the actuator. The
control module can be removed by removing the two mounting screws on the left
and right of the control module. Install the control wires to the correct terminal points
and then reinstall the control module.
Electric Actuator Maintenance
Once the actuator has been properly installed, it requires no maintenance. The gear
train has been lubricated and in most cases will never be opened.
Duty Cycle Denition
“Duty Cycle” means the starting frequency.
Formula: Running Time
–
> Rest Time = Running Time x (1 - duty cycle) ÷ duty cycle
For example: The running time is 15 seconds
30% duty cycle 15 x [(1 - 30%) / 30%] = 35
75% duty cycle 15 x [(1 - 75%) / 75%] = 5
L
N
If the duty cycle is higher, the rest time will be shortened, which means the starting
frequency will be higher.
Thermal Overload
All actuators are equipped with thermal overload protection to guard the motor
against damage due to overheating.
Mechanical Overload
All actuators are designed to withstand stall conditions. It is not recommended to
subject the unit to repeated stall conditions.
Explosion-Proof Electric Actuators
