Quarter-Turn Rotary Actuators

The 4400 can be mounted to any quarter-turn rotary shaft actuator, as well as those that comply with the NAMUR
guidelines. A mounting bracket and associated hardware are required. Refer to figure 8.
Before mounting, verify the rotary motion is 45 to 90 degrees of rotation.
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line pressure and release pressure from both sides of the valve body. Shut
off all pressure lines to the pneumatic actuator, releasing all pressure from the actuator. Use lock‐out procedures to
be sure that the above measures stay in effect while working on the equipment.
2. Attach the magnet assembly to the actuator shaft. At mid‐travel, the flats on the magnet assembly should be
approximately parallel to the channel on the back of the 4400 housing, as shown in figure 8.
Note
When the actuator is at its travel limit, the feedback array must always be at a 45 degree angle, regardless of the orientation of the
position transmitter.
