1. These values also apply to the 657‐4 actuator construction.
2. Actuator travel may be less than the value listed after connecting the actuator to the valve.
3. Maximum travel for 657‐4 is 102 mm (4 inches).
4. Normal operating diaphragm pressure must not exceed maximum diaphragm casing pressure and must not produce a force on the actuator stem greater than the maximum allowable out
put thrust or the maximum allowable valve stem load. Contact your
or Local Business Partner with questions concerning maximum allowable valve stem load.
5. This maximum casing pressure is not to be used for normal operating pressure. Its purpose is to allow for typical regulator supply settings and/or relief valve tolerances.
Description
The 657 actuator (figure 1) and the 657‐4 actuator are direct‐acting, spring‐opposed diaphragm actuators. They
provide automatic operation of control valve body assemblies. The 657 actuator offers 76 mm (3 inches) maximum
actuator travel. The 657‐4 actuator provides 102 mm (4 inches) maximum actuator travel. Both actuators position the
valve plug in response to varying pneumatic loading pressure on the actuator diaphragm. Figure 2 shows the
operation of these actuators.
A 657 or 657‐4 actuator can be equipped with either a top‐mounted or a side‐mounted handwheel assembly. A
top‐mounted handwheel assembly is used as an adjustable up travel stop to limit actuator travel in the up direction
(see figure 2). A side‐mounted handwheel assembly is usually used as an auxiliary manual actuator. Adjustable
casing‐mounted up or down travel stops are also available for this actuator.
Note
If repeated or daily manual operation is expected, the actuator should be equipped with a side‐mounted handwheel rather than a
casing‐mounted travel stop or top‐mounted handwheel.
The side‐mounted handwheel is designed for more frequent use as a manual operator.
Specifications
Refer to table 1 for Specifications of the 657 and 657‐4 actuators. See the actuator nameplate for specific information
about your actuator.
