Safety
Proper bracket must be made in order to adapt the positioner on the actuator yoke.
Please consider following important points when a bracket is being designed.
➢
Positioner’s feedback lever must be vertical to the valve stem at 50% of the valve stroke.
➢
The connection bar of the actuator clamp for the feedback lever should be installed in such a way
that the valve stroke length coincides with the corresponding figure in “mm” marked on the
feedback lever. Improper setting may cause poor linearity
