APEX cam features and options Modules Limit Switch Option Transmitter Option (4-20 ma) Flow Control Module Block/Bleed Module 1/4 NPT Block The standard APEX cam (Designated by letter A ) Provides linear characterization. Allows 90 or 180 degree rotation. Accepts 3-15, 3-9 or 9-15 psi input. Is suitable for direct or reverse acting applications. Optional cams are available for: Squared or square root characterization. 30, 45, 60 or 120 degree rotation. Linear stroking valves. Custom cams are also available to meet specific application needs. Manifold (3-15 psi Input) 11 Optional Flow Spool Valves Interchangeable Low Flow, High Flow and Maximum Flow spool valves are available to match the Automax positioners to the actuator load. The selection of the appropriate spool valve is determined primarily by the required speed of response of the total package (i.e. Positioner, actuator and final element). The exact speed of response depends on the torque available from the actuator relative to the torque required by the load; the supply pressure; actuator spring force; etc. The low flow spool features slow-opening ports which reduce overshoot while decreasing sensitivity. High and Max flow spools feature quick-opening ports which maximize sensitivity but may cause overshoot in low torque applications (such as dampers).
