The F78 is a linear pneumatic actuator, designed especially for use on linear actuated valves FEATURES Suits all linear actuated valves. The Keystone F78 pneumatic actuator series is engineered to provide the maximum force output with minimum supply pressure. Simplicity and reliability are the fundamental design parameters. Rugged yet functional design. Operates with or without lubrication. Simple to retro-fit. Wide range of sizes available. Maintenance friendly. A full range of bolt-on modular accessory packages are available including solenoid valves, limit switches, positioners and failsafe systems. Hydraulic cylinder option is also available using high pressure oil. Spring return actuators are available in selected sizes. The Keystone F9 failsafe units are an ideal choice for larger actuators as it eliminates bulky spring return actuators when limited space is available. GENERAL APPLICATIONS The F78 is ideal for automated process plants. Available in either aluminium or glass epoxy construction making it suitable for most services.

GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS Cylinder actuated valves tend to be large and heavy and consideration must be given to adequately support both the actuated valve and adjoining pipe work particularly where light weight pipe or tube is being used. Heavy cylinder actuated valves mounted in other than the vertical position can also cause the pipeline to twist. F Where possible, the cylinder actuated valves should be mounted in the vertical position with the cylinder uppermost to prevent gate misalignment and possible structural damage to the valve assembly. If mounted in any other position (angled, horizontal etc.), the cylinders must be properly supported by a suitable structure. C Large valves using cylinders (not vertically mounted) in size P1 (1.7 inch bore x. stroke) and above must have a fully engineered structure to suit site conditions. Actuated valves are generally operated from a remote location, caution should be exercised if working in close proximity to any moving parts. To minimize risk to personnel, Emerson recommend the use of purpose built guards and shrouds. Refer to the Emerson data sheet or consult factory for details.
