Fisherr 3025 Sizes P462, P460-200, and P900
Diaphragm Actuator
Fisher 3025 Size P460-200, P462 and P900 spring
opposed diaphragm actuators position the valve plug
in the valve body in response to varying controller or
valve positioner pneumatic output signals appliedto
the actuator diaphragm. They can be specified as
either direct, e.g. air-to-close, or reverse acting e.g.
air-to-open(seefigure1).Theseactuatorsare
designed to provide dependable on-off or throttling
operation of automatic control valves.
ThesizeP462is available for travels up to 120 mm,
4.75 inches with air-to-open and air-to-close action.
ThesizeP460-200is available for travels up to 200
mm,8incheswithair-to-openandair-to-closeaction.
ThesizeP900is available for travels up to 120 mm,
4.75 inches with air-to-open and air-to-close action.
Features
Long Travel Capability–Suitable for valves with
valve plug travels of up to 200 mm (8 inches).
Application Versatility–Yoke boss mountings, travel
stops, and manual operators are available for nearly
any control valve requiring longer valve plug travels.
Positive Connections–Split block stem connection
provides for a solid transfer of motion while
allowing easy mounting, and it includes no linkages
to create lost motion and inaccurate valve
positioning.

Available Configurations
The 3025 actuator can be supplied in either direct or
reverse action.
Direct Action
In direct action, applying air pressure to the upper
diaphragm casing forces the actuator stem downward.
When this pressure is reduced, the opposing spring
forcemovestheactuatorstemupward.Shouldthe
loading pressure fail, the spring forces the stem to the
extreme upward position. This provides fail-open
2
action for push-down-to-close valves and fail-closed
action for push-down-to-open valves.
Reverse Action
In reverse action, applying air pressure to the lower
diaphragm casing forces the actuator stem upward
against the opposing spring force. When this loading
pressure is reduced, the spring moves the actuator
stem to the extreme downward position. Should the
loading pressure fail, the spring forces the stem to the
extreme downward position. Reverse acting actuators
provide fail-closed action for push-down-to-close
valves and fail-open action for push-down-to-open
valves.
