ACTUATECH will be free to change all the specifications and data included in this manual at any time, so as to improve the quality and the performance of its products.
- Scotch – Yoke is a mechanical system that allows to transform the linear force into a rotary torque. ACTUATECH applies the scotch - yoke system for its actuator production to transfer the pistons linear force to a driving shaft torque.

GD08 e) Operating drive rotation. The part turn actuator rotation angle is nominally 90°. ACTUATECH actuator provides a stroke of 92° rotation, from –1° to 91°. f) Cycle time. The cycle time is dependent on different operating and installation factors such as the supply pressure, the flow capacity, the con- nection pipe size, the solenoid valve performance, the valve torque and characteristics, environmental temperature condition.

Should it be necessary to replace its pistons sealing, these operations must be done by ACTUATECH trained people with proper tools, we recommend to return the actuator to ACTUATECH where the actuator will be overhauled and than tested for a correct re- placement.

F) Insert the pistons (part N°2) in the scotch-yoke grooves (part N° 4) and press simultaneously the two pistons inside of the cylinder (part N° 1). The ACTUATECH scotch-yoke system will avoid pistons misalignment. Holding the actuator on a vice rotate the shaft to verify the shaft rotation direction and the easy movement.

In conformance with the European Directive ATEX 2014/34 UE for the suitability of the equipment intended for the use in Potentially Explosive Atmosphere, ACTUATECH declare the conformity of the scotch-yoke actuator of the above mentioned Atex directive in the limits of its Classification and Zone Classification.
GD08 9. STORAGE The ACTUATECH actuator has been packaged to provide protection during shipment, however, it can be damaged in transport. Prior to storage, inspect the actuator for shipping damage. Keep the actuators in their original packing box during storage.
11. DISPOSAL OF PRODUCTS AT THE END OF THEIR LIFE CYCLE The ACTUATECH products are designed so that when they are at the end of their life cycle they can be completely disassembled, separating the different materials for the proper disposal and/or recovery. All materials have been selected in order to ensure minimal environmental impact, health and safety of personnel during their installation and maintenance, provided that, during use, they are not contaminated by hazardous substances.
