ROTARY TO LINEAR ADAPTER
QUICK START GUIDE
CAUTION
When ordered, the valve configuration and construction materials
were selected to meet specific pressure, temperature, pressure drop
and fluid conditions. Since some body/trim material combinations are
limited in their pressure drop and temperature ranges, do not subject
the high pressure valve to any other conditions without first contacting
the Kimray Inc. sales office or a sales / applications representative.
CAUTION
Prior to installing, the instructions provided herein should be completely
reviewed and understood before operating or repairing this equipment.
All CAUTION and WARNING notes must be strictly observed to
prevent personal injury or equipment damage.
Description
The R2L Adapter enables the Kimray High Pressure Control Valve
(HPCV) to be controlled by quarter-turn electric actuators. This solution
is a durable, simple, and effective way to maintain control within an
automated production site.
The Kimray R2L Adapter translates rotary motion into linear motion. As
an extra feature, this product is designed with a series of springs with
a live loaded stem in order to compensate for seat wear. The Kimray
R2L Adapter allows any ISO-5211 rotary actuator to be coupled with an
industry standard Kimray High Pressure Control Valve.
Installation
If the R2L Adapter has been shipped separately for installation
on a Kimray Valve Body, or if the R2L Adapter was removed for
maintenance, mount the R2L Adapter by following the instructions
presented in this section. Inspect the surface of the Mounting Yoke and
clean the mating valve surface to remove scale, chips, and debris.
The Kimray R2L is used with Kimray High Pressure Control Valves
such as through or angle body valves. In the R2L Actuator, the spiral
rotation of the Rotary Shaft by means of a rotary Actuator is translated
into linear motion, opening, and closing the valve. The stroke length
is achieved with a 90° rotation of the shaft, clockwise to close. As the
Plug contacts the seat, a series of Springs become loaded to ensure
valve closure in the event of seat creep or wear.
1. Mount the Actuator onto the Valve using supplied bolts and tighten.
NOTE:
Tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern to avoid any miss alignment.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. For 1in. and 2in. tighten bolts from 25-30
ft/lbs torque.
2. Install Travel Indicator Assembly on Stem and tighten the bolts in
the Coupling Block with a socket.
NOTE:
For the quarter turn Actuator, follow manufacturer recommendation
for the installation and operation notes.
3. Install the valve with the arrow on the body pointing in the direction
of flow. The arrow signifies that the device will operate properly in the
direction of flow indicated and will not necessarily prevent flow in the
opposite direction.
4. Install the valve using good piping practices. For flanged bodies
use a suitable gasket between the body and the pipeline flanges.
For threaded (NPT) bodies, use TFE tape or pipe thread sealant on
external pipe threads. Use good practices.
NOTE:
Use good electrical wiring practices and consult with an electrician.
