6. Setting up the Portable Valve Actuator
a.
General info
The actuator must be kept stable while turning the valve or handwheel.
modec
Portable Valve Actuators can be used in any position.
However, to ensure the operator is working safely and in the best conditions, it is imperative that the actuator is used in
the axis of the handwheel being activated.
NB: These diagrams are made with one of the
modec
actuators. However, the head (flange and output shaft) being identical
on all actuators, they apply in the same way to all the actuators of the range.
b.
Fixing the actuator on to the torque management device and/or on an adaptor
To ensure the operator is working safely and in optimum conditions, it is imperative to use a torque retention system.
Our actuators are delivered with:
A BR001 torque management reaction bar
A strap or a chain
2 carabiners.
In addition to this basic pack,
modec
also has a
wide range of torque management accessories
(see the catalogue and the following presentation
for more details).
As well as these standard accessories,
modec
develops specific systems. If you would like to
check your installation or if you have a specific
solution request, contact a registered
modec
distributor.
Besides this torque retention rod, it is also
possible using the “
modec
standard” flange and
shaft to fix the system to RA30 right-angled
models, to BJH hollow heads and all
modec
torque
management
accessories
(see
catalogue).
If the standard equipment does not provide a
torque retention that offers sufficient safety for
both operators and equipment,
modec
can
develop
and/or
adapt
special
torque
management systems.
Never use a portable actuator with a torque management system that is under-sized, unstable or badly
positioned.
