c. Operation of 3 Position Actuator
In order to operate the 3 position actuator, can be benefited from the 3/2 solenoid valve. (Figure 10)
a) Mounting:
Fortriple 3/2 solenoid valve; the valve with number 1 should be connected to A port, the valve with number 2 to B port
and the valve with number 3 to C port.
b) Operating:
1)
Pressure air is given to air input port.
2)
The coil with number 1 is powered. In this way, the actuator turns 90° and switches to fully open position.
3)
The coil with number 3 is powered and the power of coil with number 1 is shut off. In this way actuator is half closed. Half closed
position can be regulated between 30-60°.
4)
The coil with number 2 is powered and the power of coil with number 3 is shut off. In this way actuator is fully closed.
