INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Before installation these instructions must be fully read and understood

INTRODUCTION

The Keystone F89 pneumatic actuator range isavailable in 4 mounting options:

• F89D - ISO 5211 shaft and flange Metricthreading

• F89E - Keystone shaft / ISO flange Metricthreading

• F89U - Keystone shaft and flange Metricthreading

• F89U - Keystone shaft and flange Imperialthreading

GENERAL PNEUMATIC SYSTEM RECOMMENDATIONS

All Keystone pneumatic actuators are factory lubricated with Castrol LMM grease, and unless the operating environment is extremely harsh, do not require re-lubrication. For applications where the environmental temperature reaches temperatures up to

-52°C (-62°F) a low temp version is used

(Cassida LTS 1).

To maintain maximum efficiency with this actuator we advise that the following basic system recommendations are followed:

1. For maximum cycle life the air quality of compressed air should be 2.4.1 as per ISO8573-1 standard.

2. Where pipelines are subjected to extremes of temperature, the system should be fitted with suitable air drying equipment.

3. When working at low temperatures, it is important that the compressed air has been dried to a dew point of less than the ambient temperature. If this is not the case, water will be condensed from the compressed air and freeze causing damage to the seals inside the actuator, which could result in actuator failure.

4. Air control lines should be fitted in accordance with a “Recommended Piping Practice” and should not have loops, whichmay trap condensate.

5. All air connection pipe ends should be thoroughly cleaned and deburred after cutting, to ensure that the pipeline is clear of debris.

6. If pipelines are hydraulically tested, then the lines should be “blown down” with pressurized air to clear all traces of water, prior to connecting lines to the actuator.

7. Where pipe fitting sealants are used, they should be applied to the male threads only, to avoid excess compound being forced into the actuator control lines.

8. Where air filter equipment is used, the air filters should be situated in positions that allow easy access to maintain and/or drain.

9. Where pneumatic valve positioners or pneumatic controllers are fitted to the valve actuator assemblies, oil mist lubricated air should not be used unless the manufacturer states specifically that the controllers are compatible with lubricated air.

NOTE

Keystone F89 actuators are rated for compressed air pressure in the range of 2.75 barg (40 psig) to 8.3barg (120 psig) and will withstand a maximum static pressure of 10 barg (145 psig).

WARNING

For safety reasons, DO NOT "air assist" single acting pneumatic actuators.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

CONSTRUCTION

Keystone F89 actuators are designed to be mounted to quarter turn valves either directly or using the correct mounting brackets/adapter and sizing products.

All models are of the opposed piston type. Eachpiston incorporates an integral rack which engages with a one piece pinion drive shaft. Thedrive shaft is Zinc+Nickel plated for maximum protection. The actuator body is of extruded aluminium, and fitted with “engineered polymer” bearings at the drive shaft locations. Bearing and piston seals are dynamic “O-ring” type. The actuator drive is by means of a double keyed female shaft output (F89E/U) or female double square (star; F89D) conforming to EN ISO 5211. A comprehensive range of adaptors is available for fitting the actuator shaft to the valve shaft. The top of the actuator shaft has a female DD16x11 connection for direct mounting of theAVID accessories, or can be fitted with an insert to be compliant with the Namur standard. Adjustable travel stops are provided for each end of travel to ensure that the actuator will open and close the valve precisely.

STORAGE

All actuators leave the factory tested and in excellent working condition and finish. Inorder to maintain these characteristics until the actuator is installed in the plant, it is necessary to observe the following rules and take appropriate measures during the storage period.

STANDARD INSTALLATION

The F89 actuator can be used for butterfly valves, ball valves and all quarter turn devices, in double acting or spring return configuration. Single acting actuators are supplied as FAIL-CLOSE (CW) as standard. Reverseacting (FAIL-OPEN; CCW) must be specified

at the time of order. Alternatively it is possible to change an actuator from FAIL-CLOSE

to FAIL-OPEN by a trained and certified mechanical engineer using the assembly/disassembly instructions as described in this document.

These installation instructions assume that the actuator is installed with the cylinder axis parallel to the axis of the valve bore (in line). Please ensure that you have an actuator with the correct drive, and that the valve and actuator are in the following positions: 1a. Double acting units and spring return

units in FAIL-CLOSE position: valve closed, actuator fully clockwise.

1b. Double acting units and spring return units

in FAIL-OPEN position: valve open, actuator fully counterclockwise.

Butterfly valve application

Mounting to resilient seated butterfly valves (withEN ISO 5211 or Keystone mounting)

2a. Screw the actuator mounting studs tightly

into the actuator base. 3a. Install the correct shaft adapter if required. 4a. Mount the actuator onto the valve top

flange and secure using a lockwasher and

nut on each mounting stud.

1. Make sure that the transport plugs remain fitted in the air connections. These plastic plugs close the air inlets, but do not have a waterproof function, as they are a means of protection against the entry of foreign matter during transport.

For long term and specifically outdoor

storage these plastic plugs need to be replaced with plugs providing a complete weatherproof protection.

2. If the actuators are supplied separately from the valves, they must be placed onto a wooden pallet in order to prevent damaging the valve coupling. For long term outdoor storage it is advised to coat the coupling parts with protective oil or grease.

3. In case of long term storage, it is advised to keep the actuators in a dry place or to provide some means of weather protection.

2b. Screw the actuator mounting studs

tightly into the actuator base and secure themounting bracket to the underside of the actuator using four nuts and washers as shown in Figure 1.

3b. Install the appropriate coupling onto the

valve stem. The coupling should be lightly tapped or pressed onto the valve stem. Theuse of a lubricant is recommended.

4b. Mount the actuator and bracket onto the

valve top flange using the appropriate bolts.

All quarter turn valve types

5. Before installing the valve/actuator assembly in a piping system, the disc travel should be verified and adjusted if necessary using the travel stop screws (see detailed instructions for travel setting).

6. When installing the valve/actuator assembly into the pipeline, ensure that thespecific instructions relating to thevalve installation are followed.

NOTE

Some valves may require to be fitted into the pipeline prior to mounting the actuator. Rubber lined butterfly valves are an example of this.

7. For valves which need to be installed in thepipeline prior to fitting the actuator, ensure that the valve is operated into its failsafe position before mounting theactuator onto the valve.

NON-STANDARD INSTALLATION - DOUBLE ACTING AND SPRING RETURN ACTUATORS

In circumstances where the actuator is required to be installed in the transverse position i.e. at right angles to the valve bore (across line), theactuator must be rotated through 90°. Thisis achieved in the following manner.

All quarter turn valve types

1. Remove the actuator from the valve or the

bracket by removing the 4 fixing bolts/nuts, and withdraw it vertically from the valve.

2. Reposition the shaft insert 90 degrees for

Double-D connections. Bored-keyed and star drives do not require this action.

3. Rotate the actuator 90 degrees.

4. Refit the actuator to the top of the valve or

to the bracket. Pay attention to the output drive of the actuator to be in line with thevalve shaft and/or shaft insert.

SPRING ALLOCATION

In spring return applications the number of springs used determine the torque provided for fail safe applications. For optimal performance the number of springs used is based on thevalve type used using the F89 actuator torque table (normaly closed applications):

- Ball valves: use spring torque level which matches the spring torque at 90 degrees with the supplied air starting torque at 0 degrees.

- Butterfly valves: use spring torque level which matches the spring torque at 0 degrees with the supplied air torque at 0 degrees.

The number of springs used can vary between 4 and 12 pieces. For durability make sure to divide the number of springs evenly on both sides, with a maximum difference of 1 spring, and use the configuration as indicated in figure6 based on the number of springs.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

MAINTENANCE

Under normal operating conditions and when basic pneumatic system maintenance procedures are applied, the F89 actuator will require minimum maintenance for hundred thousands of cycles. If O-rings wear out and air leakage occurs, a soft goods kit can be ordered. Please use the (dis)assembly routines as described in this document. Carefully inspect all other components for wear and replace if required.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If the actuator fails to operate the valve correctly, carry out the following checks:

1. Check that the air supply is at the required pressure.

2. Ensure that the air supply is not restricted in any way.

3. Check for air leakage on supply lines to theactuator

4. Check for air leakage at the top and bottom of the pinion shaft.

5. Check for air leakage across the piston seals by applying pressure to port 4 (B) and looking for leakage from port 2 (A) and/or reverse.

Check that the valve torque has not increased due to problems with the valve itself.

NOTE 1

Refer to disassembly and assembly procedures forgaining access to O-rings and actuator internals ifrequired.

NOTE 2

Reduced stroke i.e. valve not traveling the required stroke or “backlash” may be caused by an incorrect fit between output bore and valve stem.

PNEUMATIC AIR CONNECTION

The Series 89 actuator has 2 pcs ¼” BSP or NPT air connections which can be used for tube connection. Alternatively it is possible to mount a Namur solenoid valve directly.

Comments

1. As standard, applying air to port 2 (A) will cause the actuator to rotate in a counterclockwise (CCW) direction to open the valve.

2. For double acting applications, applying air to port 4 (B) will cause the actuator to rotate in a clockwise direction to close the valve.

3. Single acting (also called spring return) actuators should not be “air assisted” as this will apply excessive load to the valve stem and cause damage.

BOLT TORQUE VALUES

As the end caps are pressurized during normal operation, it’s important to fix them correctly and not damage the threading due to excessive torque. Please use the torque values as indicated in table 2.
