BIFFI standard tables SCN6200* and SCN6201*.If required, for the standard models size 0.3 to 6, Biffi can supply an insert bush with un-machined bore in accordance with Biffi standard table SCN6202. On request the insert bush bore can be machined by Biffi to couple the valve stem.
Insert bush turned upside down Figure 3 – Insert bush + intermediate coupling flange The BIFFI insert bush with 2 external keys at 45° allows to position the keyway for the valve every 90°. Consequently actuator can be mounted in 4 positions at 90° on top of the valve. For biggest actuator models, the bore of the yoke can be machined according to the dimensions of valve stem.
