37/38 Spring Diaphragm Actuator

C .  37/38 Diaphragm Actuators

The 496 switch is rigidly mounted on the spring barrel of the 
diaphragm actuator by means of a bracket (7) fastened to 
the mounting pad with cap screws (8). The back lever (9) is 
fastened to the end of the switch shaft with spring washer 
(15) and cap screw (17).

The take off linkage must be adjusted before adjusting the 
switches. Apply air pressure to the actuator until the actuator 
stem has traveled exactly half the rated stroke. Loosen 
locknut (5) and turn the turnbuckle (6) until the back lever (9) 
is level. Tighten locknut (5) and adjust switches according to 
instructions on Page 2.
