Use for intended purpose

The DFPD-HD quarter turn actuator is intended to activate process valves, such as
ball valves and butterfly shut-off valves with a rotation angle from 0° (valve closed)
to 90°. The quarter turn actuator is suitable for controlling media-flow process
valves in fluid engineering systems.
• The product may only be used in its original status without unauthorized
modifications.
• Only use the product if it is in perfect technical condition.
• Observe the specifications on the product labelling.
Note
The operating torque of the drive must not be higher than the maximum
permissible torque listed in ISO 5211, with reference to the size of the mounting
flange and of the coupling.
Operating medium
• Only use compressed air in accordance with the specifications
è Technical data.
• Only use unlubricated compressed air under normal conditions. Once the
product has been used with lubricated compressed air, it must continue to be
operated with compressed air only.

Product overview

The product label can be found on the gear unit.

6.1 Function

The DFPD-HD-...-...S... is a single-acting quarter turn actuator.
The piston is moved by pressurising the pneumatic cylinder.
In the case of type DFPD-HD-...-RS, the quarter turn actuator is put in the "Valve
open" position, while type DFPD-HD-...-LS is put in the "Valve closed" position.
The linear motion of the piston is transformed using
a Scotch yoke system into a swivel motion of the
transmission shaft. The return of the process valve is
implemented by spring force.
The connected process valve records the moment of reaction of the quarter turn
actuator.
