C Linear Positioner (Small) WARNING: INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING The user of these devices must conform to all applicable electrical, mechanical, piping and other codes in the installation, operation or repair of these devices. INSTALLATION! Do not attempt to install, operate or repair these devices without proper training in the technique of working on pneumatic or hydraulic systems and devices, unless under trained supervision. Compressed air and hydraulic systems contain high levels of stored energy. Do not attempt to connect, disconnect or repair these products when a system is under pressure. Always exhaust or drain the pressure from a system before performing any service work. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury. MOUNTING! Devices should be mounted and positioned in such a manner that they cannot be accidentally operated. The C Linear Positioner is a pneumatic positioner designed for clevis mounting used where accuracy is required and when the device to be operated has low and medium force characteristics. Typical applications are positioning the butterfly valve of carburetors, servo valves and pumps, and the control arm of diesel engine governors. INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT Full range of travel of the positioner should always be utilized if good control is required. In mounting, the side load in the linear action of the piston rod and its attachments should be kept to a minimum. Thread length on the piston rod is 1-3/8 inches (35 mm). If the end travel of the engine control arm exceeds 1-1/2 inches (38 mm), the normal procedure is to drill a hole in the control arm at a point which has a travel range of 1-1/2 inches (38 mm). Fasten the connecting link to the new hole and readjust the end travel of the piston rod and control arm to match. As assembled, the adjustable elements of the positioner are matched to provide zero piston rod travel with usual preload pressure of 10 psi (0.7 BAR), and 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) piston SM-900.4409 SERVICE INFORMATION rod travel with usual top pressure of 60 psi (4.1 BAR). The piston rod travel is factory-set to correspond to the usual top pressure of 60 psi (4.1 BAR). If the top pressure of the control valve is greater than that of the positioner, the travel of the control valve handle can be made to match the travel of the piston rod by using the valve preload nut. If the piston rod travel is altered by using the caging nut, the travel of the engine control arm is altered an equal distance. Two or more positioners can be matched to provide the same movement for a given change in air pressure. Positioners can also be deliberately mismatched to provide different piston rod travel to compensate for inequalities in operating characteristics of the controlled device. If necessary to adjust for incorrect initial pressure, remove or add shims (9) as needed, or reset the preload on the control valve. OPERATION The positioner has a usual pressure range of 10 to 60 psi (0.7 to 4.1 BAR) at a temperature range of -40 to 165 F (-40 to 74 C). Pressure is supplied by a pressure control valve such as the low cost M CONTROL VALVE. The pressure imposed on the piston (13) is proportional to the handle travel of the control valve. The movement of the piston rod is also proportionate to this movement. Finally, the position of the controlled device is proportionate to the handle travel of the control valve. When control pressure is reduced, the force of the spring (10) against the piston (13) returns the piston rod to its new position, corresponding to the value of air pressure remaining. Supply pressure of 10 psi (0.7 BAR) usually provides idle position with 60 psi (4.1 BAR) usually providing full-travel or full -fuel position. MAINTENANCE Note: When complete disassembly is required, accurately measure the distance between the piston (13) and outer edge of the cover (8) before removing the caging nut (6). To avoid unnecessary readjustments, reassemble to this exact measurement. By removing only the screws (1) the internal assembly of the positioner can be removed for easy lubrication without further disassembly. During complete disassembly, clean all metal parts with a nonflammable solvent and wash all rubber parts with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and blow dry with a low-pressure air et. Replace those parts which are damaged or worn. Reassemble the positioner, using the exploded and assembly views as reference. No special tools are required. To maintain the same preload on return springs, the shims must be included. As the assembly proceeds, lubricate all rubber parts and piston with Dow Corning No. 55 Pneumatic Grease, or equivalent.

NOTICE TO PRODUCT USERS 1. WARNING: FLUID MEDIA AVENTICS pneumatic devices are designed and tested for use with filtered, clean, dry, chemical free air at pressures and temperatures within the specified limits of the device. For use with media other than air or for human life support systems, AVENTICS must be consulted. Hydraulic cylinders are designed for operation with filtered, clean, petroleum based hydraulic fluid; operation using fire-resistant or other special types of fluids may require special packing and seals. Consult the factory. 2. WARNING: MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY Damage to product seals or other parts caused by the use of noncompatible lubricants, oil additives or synthetic lubricants in the air system compressor or line lubrication devices voids AVENTICS warranty and can result in product failure or other malfunction. See lubrication recommendations below. AIR LINE LUBRICANTS! In service higher than 18 cycles per minute or with continuous flow of air through the device, an air line lubricator is recommended.* (Do not use line lubrication with vacuum products.) However, the lubricator must be maintained since the oil will wash out the grease, and lack of lubrication will greatly shorten the life expectancy. The oils used in the lubricator must be compatible with the elastomers in the device. The elastomers are normally BUNA-N, NEOPRENE, VITON, SILICONE and HYTREL. AVENTICS recommends the use of only petroleum based oils without synthetic additives, and with an aniline point between 180 F and 210 F. COMPRESSOR LUBRICANTS! All compressors (with the exception of special "oil free" units) pass oil mist or vapor from the internal crankcase lubricating system through to the compressed air. Since even small amounts of non-compatible lubricants can cause severe seal deterioration (which could result in component and system failure) special care should be taken in selecting compatible compressor lubricants. 3. WARNING: INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING The user of these devices must conform to all applicable electrical, mechanical, piping and other codes in the installation, operation or repair of these devices. disconnect or repair these products when a system is under pressure. Always exhaust or drain the pressure from a system before performing any service work. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury. MOUNTING! Devices should be mounted and positioned in such a manner that they cannot be accidentally operated. 4. WARNING: APPLICATION AND USE OF PRODUCTS The possibility does exist for any device or accessory to fail to operate properly through misuse, wear or malfunction. The user must consider these possibilities and should provide appropriate safe guards in the application or system design to prevent personal injury or property damage in the event of a malfunction. 5. WARNING: CONVERSION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR When a device is disassembled for conversion to a different configuration, maintenance or repair, the device must be tested for leakage and proper operation after being reassembled and prior to installation. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR! Maintenance periods should be scheduled in accordance with frequency of use and working conditions. All AVENTICS products should provide a minimum of 1,000,000 cycles of maintenance free service when used and lubricated as recommended. However, these products should be visually inspected for defects and given an "in system" operating performance and leakage test once a year. Where devices require a major repair as a result of the one million cycles, one year, or routine inspection, the device must be disassembled, cleaned, inspected, parts replaced as required, rebuilt and tested for leakage and proper operation prior to installation. See individual catalogs for specific cycle life estimates. 6. PRODUCT CHANGES Product changes including specifications, features, designs and availability are subject to change at any time without notice. For critical dimensions or specifications, contact factory. *Many AVENTICS pneumatic valves and cylinders can operate with or without air line lubrication; see individual sales catalogs for details. INSTALLATION! Do not attempt to install, operate or repair these devices without proper training in the technique of working on pneumatic or hydraulic systems and devices, unless under trained supervision. Compressed air and hydraulic systems contain high levels of stored energy.
