and the transport of dangerous goods. 

2.2

Intended use

The product is intended to actuate process valves, such as ball valves and butter-
fly valves, with a rotation angle from 0° (valve closed) to 90°. The product is suit-
able for control of media-flow process valves in fluid engineering systems.

NOTICE!

The operating torque of the drive must not be greater than the maximum permiss-
ible torque listed in ISO 5211 in relation to the size of the mounting flange and of
the coupling.

Function

Fig. 2 Symbol - single-acting semi-rotary drive

The DFPD-HD-...-...S... is a single-acting semi-rotary drive. The piston is moved by
pressurising the pneumatic cylinder. The semi-rotary drive of type
DFPD-HD -...- RS closes clockwise, the type DFPD-HD -...- LS closes anti-clockwise.
The linear motion of the piston is converted into a swivel motion of the transmis-
sion shaft by a Scotch yoke system (Scotch-Yoke). The spring force returns the
process valve. The connected process valve records the reaction torque of the
semi-rotary drive.
