1.2 Principles of Operation The Type 2000 operates on a force balance principal of operation. Force is created by the input signal pressure acting on the diaphragm (1) which transmits to the balance arm (2). An opposing force is created by the feedback spring (3) and works in the opposite direction on the balance arm (2).
1.3 Air Requirements 1.3.1 Supply air should be clean, dry, oil-free instrument air filtered to 40 micron. A filter regulator is recommended to be installed as close to the Type-2000 as possible. 1.3.2 Maximum supply pressure is 150 psig (10 bar).
Failure to do this may result in damage or personal injury. DANGER Do not exceed the positioner performance limitations! Exceeding the limitations marked on the positioner may cause damage to the positioner, actuator and valve. Damage or personal injury may result. 441-622-119 Type 2000 Page 4...

3.3.1 Rotary Actuator The ControlAir Type-2000 has a very stable and properly sized drive shaft bearing. However, the positioner drive (A) should be aligned properly to the rotary actuator spindle (B). A relatively small error combined with a rigid coupling can create very powerful radial forces, which can in turn overload and in short time wear out even the very best drive shaft bearing.
