INSTRUCTION MANUAL

RACKON: RACK & PINION PART TURN PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR

RK10 - RK480

2.4 Operating temperature

Standard working temperature range from –20°C (-4°F) to 80°C (176°F).

Actuators for Low or High temperature applications are available, please contact us.

Supplementary protection (e.g. screens, sheds, or integral painting) are strictly recommended for high humidity and low temperature

application.

2.5 Operating drive rotation

Part turn actuator rotation angle is nominally 90° with a ± 5° adjusting stroke: closing setting from -5° to +5° and opening setting from

85° to 95°.

2.6 Cycle time

Cycle time depends on different operational and installation factors such as supply pressure, flow capacity, pipe size connection,

solenoid valve performance, valve torque and characteristics, ambient temperature condition.

Actuator opening, closing and open/close cycle times

Above timetable refers to a standard actuator working cycle at the following tests conditions:

DA actuators operate with solenoid valves 5/2 ISO 1-2, while SR actuators operate with solenoid valves 3/2. Time tested by Electronic

Timer device.

Note

: different working conditions such as air pressure, piping connection, filters, or solenoid valves, could change operations timing.
