Function
Pressurising the cylinder chambers causes the piston in the pipe to move back
and forth. The conversion of the linear movement into turning movement is car-
ried out by a gear rack and pinion gear unit.

Safety instructions
–
The device can be used under the stated operating conditions in zones 1 and
2, explosive gas atmospheres, and in zones 21 and 22, explosive dust atmo-
spheres.
–
All work must be carried out outside of potentially explosive areas.
–
The device is not intended for use with other fluids.
–
It is not intended to be used as a spring and damping element. Impermissible
loads may occur.
5.2
Intended use
The actuator is intended for use for fittings with a movement range limited to 90°,
e. g. ball valves and butterfly valves:

Commissioning
–
Seal unused openings with blanking plugs or slot covers.
WARNING!
The discharge of electrostatically charged parts can lead to ignitable sparks.
•
Prevent electrostatic charging by taking appropriate installation and cleaning
measures.
•
For equipotential bonding, connect all the conducting metal parts with one
another.
•
Include the shaft in the system’s equipotential bonding.
•
Include the housing in the equipotential bonding of the system.
•
Earth the entire system.
WARNING!
Corrosive gases and dust particles inside components can result in changes to
material and material damage. Explosive gas atmospheres or dust should not
penetrate into the spring area of single-acting drives.
•
Install an exhaust return using a 3/2-way valve that is suitable for zones 1, 2,
21 and 22 or
•
extract the air in the spring area via tubing lines at connection 4 outside
potentially explosive areas.
NOTICE!
Installation and commissioning may only be performed in accordance with the
operating instructions and by qualified personnel.
NOTICE!
Escaping exhaust air can swirl up dust and create an explosive dust atmosphere.
NOTICE!
Strong charge-generating processes can charge non-conductive layers and coat-
ings on metal surfaces.
NOTICE!
Related type of ignition protection: c (constructional safety)
NOTICE!
Particulate matter in the compressed air can cause electrostatic charges.
In the following NAMUR valves from Festo, the exhaust air return is included in the
