Description
The 685SE and 685SR are medium to large springreturn doubleacting piston actuators that provide accurate, high
thrust output for short to long travel applications. These actuators are designed for use with a variety of medium to
large Fisher slidingstem control valves including the easye™, FB, TBX, CVX, HP, EH, and 461.
These actuators feature an internal bias spring that forces the actuator piston rod to extend (685SE) or retract (685SR)
upon a loss of supply pressure, thereby ensuring a failclosed or failopen mode of operation. This effectively
eliminates the need for a trip valve and volume tank in most constructions.

685SE/685SR Piston Actuator
June 2017
Principle of Operation
685SE and 685SR piston actuators utilize a piston that moves inside of a cylinder to generate thrust. A seal contained
on the circumference of the piston provides a seal between the piston and the cylinder, preventing supply pressure
leakage. A bias spring that is either below or above the piston, depending on construction, will retract or extend the
piston rod upon a loss of supply pressure. This fail action will result in forcing an attached control valve to either
failopen or failclosed.
From an equilibrium state, the actuator operates by reacting to a force unbalance that is created by increasing supply
pressure on one side of the piston, and decreasing it on the other. This moves the piston up or down, and results in a
repositioning of the attached control valve. Travel can be adjusted using travel limits within a valve positioner, which
limit the travel range of the actuator. The optional handwheel manual override does not have the ability to act as a
hard travel stop.
An optional handwheel or hydraulic hand-pump manual override is capable of extending or retracting the actuator
manually and can be engaged at any position from full open to full close. This handwheel override utilizes a worm gear
assembly that is attached to the stem connector and not attached to the cylinder or piston rod. This enables the
handwheel manual override function to reposition the control valve even if the actuator cylinder or piston is removed
for maintenance. The hydraulic hand-pump override utilizes a hydraulic cylinder that is connected to the piston rod,
which is controlled by a manual hand-pump.

Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal
injury.
To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by bursting of pressureretaining parts, be certain the cylinder
pressure or other pressure ratings do not exceed the limits listed in table 1. Use pressurelimiting or pressurerelieving
devices to prevent cylinder pressure or other pressures from exceeding these limits.
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.
Dropping the actuator and any attached accessories and/or valve may cause personal injury and/or equipment damage. For
all mounting procedures use an adequately sized chain, sling, hoist, or crane to handle the actuator and any attached
accessories and/or valve. Use caution during lifting and handling to prevent slippage, swinging, faulty equipment
connections, or sudden shock loads.
CAUTION
Special care must be taken when installing an actuator in a horizontal service orientation. To avoid cantilever loads on the
valve stem and yoke, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure proper support for a horizontal actuator.
When an actuator and control valve are shipped together as a control valve assembly, the actuator is normally
mounted on the valve. Follow the valve instructions when installing the valve in the pipeline. If the actuator is shipped
separately or if it is necessary to mount the actuator on the valve, perform the actuator mounting procedures in this
instruction manual. Refer to the individual product instruction manuals for the installation or mounting of a FIELDVUE
DVC6200 digital valve controller or 3610 positioner.
If the actuator is being installed without a positioner, the cylinder loading pressures should be supplied through a
4way solenoid valve or a switching valve. Pressure connection locations are indicated below:
D 685SE Actuators: Side of the outer spring cartridge and bottom of the lower head.
D 685SR Actuators: Top of the upper head and side of the outer spring cartridge.
The supply pressure medium should be clean, dry filtered air. If the supply source is capable of exceeding the
maximum actuator operating pressure or positioner supply pressure, appropriate steps must be taken during
installation to protect the positioner and all connected equipment against over pressurization.
The control valve should be located where it will be accessible for servicing. Room should be left above and below the
control valve to permit removal of the actuator and valve plug.
ThreeWay Valve Applications Note
In threeway valve applications where the actuator fully strokes at a frequency of once per minute or faster, and the
stroking speed is rapid (less than 0.5 seconds per stroke), there is a possibility that the stem can fracture at the plug if
the actuator cylinder pressure is greater than 5.5 bar (80 psig). This can cause loss of control of process fluid and
further damage to the actuator. Consideration should be given to the use of highstrength, fatigueresistant stem
materials in these applications.

685SE/685SR Piston Actuator
June 2017
Actuator Mounting
The following procedure describes how to mount a 685SE or 685SR actuator on a pushdowntoclose valve so that
the piston rod to valve plug stem connection allows full travel and proper shutoff. Key numbers referenced in the
following steps are shown in figures 3, 4, 5, and 6.
CAUTION
The 685SE actuator spring load will force the piston rod to extend out of the cylinder, and it can come into contact with the
valve stem during actuator mounting.
If the valve stem is allowed to remain in the up position (towards the actuator) during mounting, it can interfere with the
actuator mounting, possibly damage valve stem threads or bend the valve stem. Be sure the valve stem is pushed down
(into the valve body), away from the actuator while mounting.
To avoid damaging the valve plug seating surfaces, do not rotate the valve plug while it is seated. Also avoid damage to the
valve plug stem by careful use of tools during travel adjustment.
For 685SE actuators only: It may be necessary to apply a temporary loading pressure to the bottom cylinder pressure
connection to move the piston rod away from the valve stem during installation. If it is not possible to provide a
temporary loading pressure, exercise caution when lowering the actuator over the valve stem to prevent damage to
the valve stem or piston rod.
WARNING
When moving the piston rod with loading pressure applied, exercise caution to keep hands and tools out of the piston rod
travel path. If the loading pressure is accidentally disconnected, personal injury and property damage is possible if
something is caught between the piston rod and other control valve parts.
1. For 685SE Actuators: Using the lifting points along the outside perimeter of the outer spring cartridge (key 23)
attach appropriate rigging gear to both lifting points.
For 685SR Actuators: Thread two lifting eyes into the free ports on the upper head (key 1) 180 degrees apart.
Reference tables 4 and 5 for approximate weights of the actuator to select an appropriate lifting eye. Attach
appropriate rigging gear to the lifting eyes.
2. Lower the actuator onto the valve bonnet.
a. For the 90.5 mm (39/16 inch) yoke boss: Slowly lower the actuator down onto the valve. As the yoke passes over
the end of the valve stem, place the yoke locknut over the valve stem. Once the actuator is in place, screw the
yoke locknut onto the valve bonnet and tighten.
b. For all other yoke bosses: Slowly lower the actuator down onto the valve. Once the actuator is in place, insert the
bonnettoactuator bolts and tighten the hex nuts.
3. Turn the two stem locknuts (if present) all the way onto the valve stem thread.
4. Starting with the piston rod fully retracted, manually, or with air pressure, extend the piston rod to the specified
valve travel.
5. Attach the stem connector (key 18), clamping the piston rod (key 17) to the valve stem. Be sure to also attach the
feedback arm and travel indicator.
6. Cycle the actuator to check availability of desired total travel and that the valve plug seats before the cylinder
reaches the end of its stroke. You can make minor travel adjustments, if necessary, by loosening the stem
connector slightly, tightening the locknuts together, and (with the valve plug off the seat) screwing the stem
connector either into or out of the stem connector by means of a wrench on the locknuts.
7
Page 8
685SE/685SR Piston Actuator
June 2017
7. If the total travel is adequate, tighten the stem connector (key 18) securely, lock the stem locknuts (if present)
against the connector, and adjust the indicator scale (key 22) on the yoke (key 21) to show valve plug position.
8. Provide a gauge, if necessary, to measure the pressure to the actuator. Make a final adjustment on the positioner to
set the starting point of valve travel and to obtain full travel for the given instrument range.
Instruction Manual
D103799X012
Handwheel Operation
If manual operation is required, the actuator should be equipped with a manual handwheel for sizes 10 to 26.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to actuator parts and difficult operation of actuator handwheels, open the bypass valve (key 66) before
using a handwheel.
The bypass assembly is furnished only when a handwheel actuator is specified. The bypass allows the pressure to
equalize on either side of the piston, so that the manual actuator can be used to position the control valve. Flow
through the bypass tubing is controlled by an angle needle valve, which is operated manually. This valve should be
closed when air pressure is being used to operate the actuator.
Key numbers referenced in the following steps are shown in figures 2, 5, and 6. Refer to table 7 for handwheel
specifications.
1. Open the bypass valve.
2. Rotate the handwheel (key 45) to position the override engage pin (key 38) with the hole in the stem connector
(key 18). Use the engage pin control knob (key 33) to insert the override engage pin into the stem connector until
it stops. Refer to figure 2 for engage pin control knob operation.
Note
Depending on construction , the handwheel may have operation information stamped into the part. Always refer to steps 3 and 4
for operation information specific to pushdowntoclose and pushdowntoopen valves.
3. For a pushdowntoclose valve: Rotate the handwheel (key 45) clockwise to close the valve and counterclockwise
to open the valve.
4. For a pushdowntoopen valve: Rotate the handwheel (key 45) counterclockwise to close the valve and clockwise
to open the valve.
5. To disengage the manual handwheel, rotate the handwheel (key 45) to relieve any load placed on the override
engage pin (key 38), and use the engage pin control knob (key 33) to remove the override engage pin from the
stem connector (key 18). Refer to figure 2 for engage pin control knob operation.

WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden release of process pressure. Before performing any maintenance operations:
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal
injury.
D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
on both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
D Use lockout procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D The valve packing box may contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the
pipeline. Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe plug.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
