Actuator Assembly on the Valve
2.4.1
Types of Assembly
For coupling to the valve, the housing is provided with a flange with threaded holes
according to Biffi standard tables (SCN6200 SCN6201). The number, dimensions and
diameter of the holes are made in accordance with ISO 5211, but for actuator models
0.3 to 6 the holes are drilled on the centreline in order to allow an easier assembly of an
intermediate flange, when required. This intermediate flange ( or spool-piece ) can be
supplied when the valve flange can not directly match the actuator flange in its “standard”
configuration. For the biggest actuator models, the actuator flange can be machined in
accordance with the valve flange dimensions.
The yoke has bored with keyways for coupling to the valve stem, the dimensions of which
are according to Biffi standard tables SCN6200 and SCN6201.
NOTICE
To fix the actuator to the valve flange must be used the stud bolts and nuts supplied by
Biffi. In case the actuator is supplied without stud bolts and nuts the following materials
must be used as a minimum:
•
ASTM A 193 Grade L7 for Stud Bolts
•
ASTM A 194 Grade 4 for Nuts
