KEY ADVANTAGES OF THE COMPACT ACTUATOR Compact Design Helps in Efficient Design of Package Units The VahnTech Pneumatic Actuator Series packs more than double the torque of conventional rack and pinion actuators thanks to its four pistons generating torque around a centrally located pinion. With more pistons in the actuator, this allows the actuator being more compact with size reduced by mre than 30% compared to double piston actuator of the same torque. Faster and Better With four small cylinders each located on one of four sides of the unit and at a given air pressure, the produces the same torque output as double piston models using smaller diameter pistons and a narrower pinion. The narrower pinion allows the pistons to travel shorter distances so that they can move faster from one position to the net. Reduced Air Consumption The cube shape coupled with pistons traveling shorter distances minimizes size requirements while maimizing torque output. At the same time, shorter piston travel and compact size greatly reduces pressure requirements compared to other designs and results in reduced energy ependiture with up to 2.5 times saving on air consumption compared to double piston design. Spring Combination Because of the fourcylinder design, the has many more spring combination possibilities than double piston actuators. This means better solutions under any air pressure requirement. Each chamber can use up to three different spring sizes which nest between the covers and pistons and align by centering rings. Also, springs are wound in opposite directions to avoid complications during operation. Ecellent Weather and Corrosion Resistance For superior corrosion resistance, the body and covers are anodized internally and eternally. Plus, they have an eternal epoy base layer and a second polyurethane paint to further reduce corrosion in demanding applications. Etended spray wash downs do not create corrosion problems for the actuator. In addition, the short stretch distance of the piston highly raises the working time of the sealing elements inside the actuator.

DESIGN FEATURES Travel stops can be adjusted by four studs at the base of the actuator. The studs are opposed from each other so no unequal forces are generated, the stop design allows for + 5 adjustment in both opening and closing rotations. Midstroke stop points can be achieved with longer studs. Blowout proof Acetal support pad in body maintains proper contact of the piston racks to the pinion at all times. Nested springs are aligned by rings cut in the piston face and end cap. This ensures correct orientation. With four cylinder areas, many different combinations are available allowing for correct sizing. VahnTech International reserves the right to change the technical data without prior notice.

ACTUATION SIZING GUIDE The seat material used, media, temperature, frequency of operation and critical application of the valve s operation are all important factors in calculating the actuation needs of a given valve. The information provided below should be considered as a guide only and must be adjusted according to eperience and actual design. Proper actuator selection is required to prevent valve or process equipment damage as well as proper valve operation. Valve Torque The torque requirements of valves will vary depending on several factors, e.g for Ball Valves: Seat Design and Material The seat friction force depends on the seat material and the applicable service factor multipliers shown in the chart below. Stem Seal Torque results from the stem contact with stem seals and the type of packing materials affect torque. Stem seal torque needs to be considered as a percentage of overall torque especially in small valve sizes. Service Conditions To Consider Differential Pressure Frequency of Operation Media Influence Slurries Temperatures Cycle Time Instrument Air Supply Minimum and maimum pressures Stuck valve torque dry gases, oils Minimum and maimums Line hammer, process requirements Peak demand pressure availability Media and Service Factors To establish minimum torque requirements, multiply valve torque by the following application media and service factors.

Double Acting Actuator (DA) In the double acting actuators, the control pinion rotation and its reversal are obtained by reversing the supply to the two input ports. The output torques obtainable mainly depends on the cylinder diameter and the supply pressure, by increasing one or both factors, the available torque also increases. As shown in diagram A, the torque of a DA actuator is constant throughout the entire rotation and relevant reversal. The normal advised safety factor, in addition to the stated valve manufacturer torque, is 20%. *Select the actuator size whose torque output at given pressure eceeds the valve torque and application factor. START END 0 5 0 Diagram A END START START Spring Return Actuator (SR) END In the Spring Return actuators, which utilize springs for reversing the rotation of the control pinion, the output torque depends not only on the cylinder diameter and the supply pressure, but also on the presence of the springs, which should be compressed to guarantee the return. As shown in diagram B, the available torque at 0 progressively reduces during the rotation due to the springs compression. On the contrary, as shown in diagram C, the torque starting from the 0 position constantly decreases until 0º because of spring etension. Owing to the higher friction present, the safety coefficient in this case is advised 25%. 0 5 0 Diagram B START END *Select the actuator whose torque output at 0 and 0 at a given air pressure eceeds the valve torque. 0 5 0 Diagram C VahnTech International reserves the right to change the technical data without prior notice.

Ball Valve Ball valve construction concept is based essentially on a polished ball (including a through port) contained in two seats (upstream and downstream). The ball rotation allows the flow, or stops the flow through the valve. Differential pressure between upstream and downstream pressure forces the ball against the downstream seat (floating ball). In this case, the valve torque is generated by the friction between ball and seat and also between stem and packing. As shown in the diagram to the right, the highest torque point is when, in presence of pressure, the valve is in the closed position, and passes to the open position (breakaway torque). BALL VALVE TORQUE 0% 70% 2530% Torque % CLOSE Valve Rotation OPEN Butterfly Valve Butterfly valve construction concept is based essentially on a disc fied on an ais, which in the closed position, is completely contained by the seat. The open position is obtained when, with a rotation, the disc (through its stem) becomes parallel to the flow. On the contrary, the closed position is obtained when the disc is perpendicular to the flow. In the case of the butterfly valve, the torque is generated by the friction between the disc and the seat, by the stem packing and also by the differential pressure that forces on the disc. The highest torque point, as shown in the diagram, is in the closed position, and only after a small rotation it is considerably reduced. BUTTERFLY VALVE TORQUE 0% 20% Torque % CLOSE Valve Rotation OPEN Plug Valve Plug valve construction concept is based essentially on a male (plug) contained in a female cone (seat). The plug provides a through port in one direction and with its rotation into the seat the opening and closure of the valve is obtained. The torque is usually not influenced by the flow pressure, but is generated essentially by the friction between the seat and the plug, during the opening closing cycle. As shown in the diagram to the right, the highest torque point is in the closed position and remains high for the rest of the operation, because the torque is not influenced by pressure.
