X–Indicates where the listed supply pressure will exceed the maximum thrust allowable.
1. The maximum design pressure for size 25 through 100 actuators is 10.3 bar (150 psig). The size 68 and 130 actuators are limited to 9.7 and 7.8 bar (140 and 113 psig) respectively.
2. The size 25 and 50 data is for the construction without a bias spring.
3. Minimum operating pressure for sizes 60-130 actuators is 2.4 bar (35 psig).
4. The size 68 actuator with a handwheel is limited to 40000 Newtons (9000 lb) thrust.
Principle of Operation
The 585C piston actuator (figures 2 and 3) uses a piston that moves inside the actuator cylinder. An O-ring (see figure
3) provides a seal between the piston and the cylinder.
From an equilibrium state, the actuator reacts to a force unbalance that is created by increasing supply pressure on
one side of the piston, and decreasing it on the other. This moves the piston up or down, and results in a repositioning
of the valve plug.
Actuator with Handwheel (figures 2 and 5)
The handwheel version can be used to open or close the valve manually (either during normal operation or in an
emergency), to position the valve at any point in the stroke, or to act as a travel stop.
Size 25 and 50 actuators use an integral top-mounted handwheel. See figure 5.
Size 60 to 130 actuators use a side-mounted handwheel, and come with a spring-loaded ball detent which prevents
vibration from changing the handwheel setting. Handwheels for most types are either 203 mm (8 inches) in diameter
with beveled gears or 432 mm (17 inches) in diameter with worm gears.
