Intended use
The SAMSON Type 3271 and Type 3277 Actuators are designed for operating a mounted
globe valve. In combination with the valve, the actuator is used to shut off the flow of liquids,
gases or vapors in the pipeline. Depending on the version, the actuator is suitable for
throttling or on/off service. The actuator can be used in processing and industrial plants.
The actuator is designed to operate under exactly defined conditions (e.g. thrust, travel).
Therefore, operators must ensure that the actuator is only used in applications that meet the
specifications used for sizing the actuator at the ordering stage. In case operators intend to
use the actuator in other applications or conditions than specified, SAMSON must be con
-
tacted.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
