Description
The 1061 actuator is a pneumatic piston rotary actuator for use with rotary control valves and other equipment. The H
mounting adaptation permits the actuator to be used with user‐provided mounting brackets and couplings for rotary
actuation of equipment other than Fisher valves. The J mounting adaptation permits the actuator to be used for rotary
actuation of Fisher keyed‐shaft butterfly valves and other keyed‐shaft equipment that can mount on the actuator
yoke.
The H mounting adaptation includes a flat‐surface mounting plate that is drilled and tapped for attaching the
user‐provided bracket. Cap screws for attaching the bracket are provided. H mounting also includes an output shaft
(with milled flats) to provide the rotary output either directly or through a user‐provided coupling
diameters and torque limits are listed in table 2. Dimensional information for the mounting plate and output shaft are
shown in figure 2.
The J mounting adaptation uses the standard butterfly valve mounting bracket and provides an output shaft with an
attached coupling for keyed equipment shafts. Coupling sizes and torque limits are listed in table 3. Dimensional
information for the mounting yoke and output shaft coupling is shown in figure 2.
Additionally, the 1061 actuator can be used for either throttling or on‐off applications. For auxiliary manual operation
of the equipment, a side‐mounted handwheel actuator is available.

1. Actuators with H mounting and a 50.8 mm (2‐inch) output shaft are supplied with a
coupling for adaptation to either a 44.5 or 50.8 mm (1‐3/4 or 2‐inch) keyed shaft.

Installation
When an actuator and valve are shipped together, the actuator is normally mounted on the valve. Follow the valve
instructions when installing the control valve in the pipeline. If the actuator is shipped separately or if it is necessary to
mount the actuator on the valve, perform the procedures presented in the Actuator Mounting section.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation
operations.
To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by bursting of pressure retaining parts, be certain the service
conditions do not exceed the limits given in table 1 or on the nameplate. Use pressure limiting or pressure relieving devices
to prevent the cylinder pressure from exceeding the maximum allowable cylinder operating pressure.
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this
instruction manual.

Actuator Mounting
Use the following steps to connect the actuator to a valve or other equipment. Unless otherwise specified, key
numbers are shown in figure 6.
WARNING
Perform the steps in the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section.
Note
For an actuator with an H mounting adaptation and a 22.2 through 38.1 mm (7/8 through 1‐1/2 inch) output shaft, find
dimensions and center of gravity information in figures 2 and 3, and approximate weights in table 4. This information is required
for proper fabrication of the user‐provided bracket and coupling.
1. For an actuator with an H mounting adaptation, attach an appropriate mounting bracket (not provided) to the
mounting plate (key 23) with the cap screws (key 87). See figure 2 for mounting dimensions on the mounting plate.
2. Consult figure 4 for available mounting styles and positions. The actuator is normally positioned vertically with the
valve or other equipment in a horizontal pipeline.
Note
If the milled flats or the coupling on the end of the actuator output shaft (key 94) are oriented such that the output shaft cannot
accommodate the operated equipment shaft, refer to the Changing Positions portion of the Changing Actuator Mounting section.
This procedure describes how the output shaft can be repositioned to accommodate the operated equipment shaft.
3. If using an actuator with a J mounting adaptation, note that the valve shaft coupling (key 97) is furnished with two
keyways lettered A & B as shown in figure 5 (letters C and D on the coupling are not used and can be disregarded).

Instruction Manual
D100325X012
1061 H & J Actuator

Align the appropriate keyway with the keyway in the operated equipment shaft. If using a Fisher butterfly valve,
align the appropriate keyway on the coupling with the valve shaft keyway indicated in table 5. Then, install the
woodruff key (key 98) in the shaft keyseat, and slide the coupling onto the shaft. It is helpful to apply a light coat of
grease to the inside of the coupling before sliding it onto the shaft.
4. For an actuator with a J mounting adaptation, secure the mounting yoke (key 23) to the valve with the cap screws
(key 87, not shown). For 31.8 and 38.1 mm (1‐1/4 and 1‐1/2 inch) valve shafts, place two spacers (key 99, not
shown) between the mounting yoke and valve or other equipment during this step.
5. For an actuator with an H mounting adaptation and a 22.2 through 38.1 mm (7/8 through 1‐1/2 inch) output shaft,
slide the actuator (with the user‐provided mounting bracket attached) into the user‐provided coupling on the
operated shaft. Then, secure the actuator to the operated equipment in the desired mounting position with
appropriate fasteners, such as mounting cap screws. See figure 2 for output shaft dimensions.
6. For an actuator with an H mounting adaptation and a 50.8 mm (2‐inch) output shaft (key 94, figure 7), note that
the valve shaft coupling (key 97, figure 7) is furnished with two keyways lettered A and B as shown in figure 5
(letters C and D on the coupling are not used and can be disregarded). Align the appropriate keyway with the
keyway in the operated equipment shaft. Then, install the woodruff key (key 98, not shown in figure 7) in the shaft
keyseat, and slide the coupling onto the shaft using the appropriate coupling keyway (see table 5 and figure 5). It is
helpful to apply a light coat of grease to the inside of the coupling before sliding it onto the shaft. Secure the
actuator (user‐provided mounting bracket) to the operated equipment in the desired mounting position with
appropriate fasteners, such as mounting cap screws.
7. If the 1061 actuator is equipped with an auxiliary handwheel actuator, make certain that a cylinder bypass valve
(key 68, figure 8) is used to equalize cylinder pressure during handwheel operation. Operating the handwheel
actuator by itself against the force of differential cylinder pressures is difficult or even impossible. An installation of
a bypass valve is shown in figure 8.
CAUTION
Attempting to pneumatically operate the 1061 actuator while an auxiliary manual actuator is engaged could damage the
actuator shaft. Be certain the manual actuator is disengaged before pneumatically operating the 1061 actuator.
8. Follow the instructions given in the Adjustment section before proceeding to the loading connection portion of this
section.

1. For actuators with H mounting and 50.8 mm (2‐inch) output shafts, and for actuators with J mounting.
2. For conventional disk valves, use either valve shaft keyway.
3. See figure 6 for reference coupling orientation to use with this table.
4. When viewed from actuator side of valve.
5. For 60‐degree rotation with PDTC action, the coupling and actuator output shaft assembly will be offset 30 degrees clockwise (for actuator housing construction style B) or counterclockwise
(for actuator housing construction Style A) in the lever when viewed from the splined end of the actuator shaft. 30 degrees is one spline tooth for 19.1 through 38.1 mm (3/8 through 1‐1/2
inch) valve shafts.
