Data Sheet T 8310-1 EN
Principle of operation
The signal pressure p
generates a forceF=pstx A on the dia
st
phragm area A (2). This force is balanced by the actuator
springs (4). Taking into account the rated travel, the number of
springs and their compression determine the bench range. The
travel H is proportional to the signal pressure p
. The operating
st
direction of the actuator stem (7) depends on the arrangement
of the springs and the signal pressure connection (1).
The stem connector (8) connects the actuator stem (7) with the
plug stem of the valve.
The adjustable mechanical travel stop (Fig. 14) is suitable for
actuators made of sheet steel with effective diaphragm areas of
120, 240, 350 or 700 cm². Using the travel stop, the actuator
travel can be limited by up to 50 % in both directions (actuator
stem extends or retracts) and permanently adjusted.
Actuators are available with the following fail-safe actions:
“Actuator stem extends (FA)“
The springs cause the actuator stem to move to the lower end
position (sectional drawings, right) when the diaphragm is re
lieved of pressure or when the supply air fails.
“Actuator stem retracts (FE)“
The springs cause the actuator stem to retract (sectional draw
ings, left) when the diaphragm is relieved of pressure or when
the supply air fails.
