I-Tork PDS series actuators are designed for rotary quarter turn valves and there are PD (Double Acting) and PS (Single Acting-with Spring Pack). I-Tork PDS series actuators can be used with a 4~8Kg/㎠ range of air supply pressure. Standard air pressure is 5.5Kg/㎠.
‘Fail Open’ position, then the adjustment will take place in the closed position. The adjustment angle for both is ±3° by Adjusting Screws. The adjustment is done by loosening the Adjusting Screws, and I-Tork PDS have 2 Adjusting Screws for open and close positions.
I-TORK PDS PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR 3. Important Safety Procedures Caution: Always disconnect the Air and Electrical supplies before carrying out any form of maintenance on an Actuator. Caution: When removing any ball valve or plug valve assemblies from a pipe system, isolate the piping system on which the Actuator is installed and relieve any media pressure that may be trapped in the valve cavities before removing the Actuator for maintenance.
I-TORK PDS PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR 4. Operation Figure 1 : PD (Double Acting) Close Open When air is supplied to the left port, the actuator will move to the Close position. When air is supplied to the right port, the actuator will move to the Open Position.
I-TORK PDS PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR 5. Lubrication Requirements: I-Tork PDS generally do not require lubrication, however, oil mist lubrication is recommended for actuator which has performed more than 100,000 operation cycles. Recommended Lubrication Grease: Parts Actuator Version Grease Cylinder Bore, Shaft Standard &...
I-TORK PDS PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR 7. Installation and Piping 1) Selection of actuator Determine the appropriate torques and strokes taking into consideration the following parameters and questions. Valve Question Valve: type, size, function and operation characteristics Operating Conditions: Media, Temperature, Pressure, Flow rate, Frequency of operation and required stroking time.

Power up the solenoid valve. The actuator should operate. 4) Storage I-Tork PDS actuator’s body is made of Hard-Anodized aluminum both inside and outside for protection against corrosion. Store in a dry area and care to be taken when stacking the actuators.
I-TORK PDS PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR 8. Dismantle and Assembly (For Replacing O-ring and other parts.) PD series (Double Acting) Dismantling Caution: Vent all compressed air from the actuator and disconnect all electric power before dismantling. 1) Loosen the adjusting screws (23).

I-TORK PDS PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR Disassembling of Spring Pack: For safe disassembling of the spring packs, the following procedure must be carried out. 1. Disconnect all air and electrical supplies. 2. Springs must not be in the compress position (that is, the springs must be at fully extended position).
