Control section which is identical for all MODACT MOK actuators, Types MOK 125 to MOK 1000 type no., with the
only exception that, it differs in angular displacement of units on the base plate. In the actuator, Type No. 52 325, the unit of
position-limit signalling switches is arranged as shown in Fig 1. The control section
(Fig.1)
consists of position-limit switching
unit 1, resisence position transmitter 2, torque-limit switching unit 3, terminal block 4 and anti condensation heater 8.
The position-limit switching unit uses 4 microswitches of which 2 are always used for either direction of rotation of the output
shaft. The switching point of each microswitch can be adjusted independently within the working travel range of the actuator.
The torque-limit switching unit has independently adjustable microswitches, one for either direction of rotation.
The torque-limit switches are not secured against opening at the startig torque.
The potentiometer is fitted with a slipping clutch to permit automatic adjustment along with the output shaft.
The anti-condensation heater 8
(Fig.1, 2)
prevents water vapours from condensing under the cover of the control
section. The position-limit switching unit and the position transmitter derive their movements from the output shaft of
the actuator via a driving gear
(or in the actuators, Type Nos 52 326 and 52 327, via driving segment 7, as shown in
Fig. 1).
The torque-limit switching unit is driven by a “floating worm” of the manual control mechanism where the worm
displacement is directly proportional to the torque of the actuator output shaft. This enables the actuator to be switched
off immediately the torque on the output shaft to whichthe torque-limit switching unit has been adjusted, is reached.
Note:
The microswitches used are of a single-chamber type, i.e., they can operate as a one-pole cut-out switch a contact maker or
a change-ower switch, whereas the torque-limit switches can be used as cut-out switches only (see the respective circuit layout).
8. ADJUSTMENT OF THE ACTUATOR
a) Stop screws
Stop screws are used to limit the actuator working travel to 90° in compliance with the CLOSED and OPEN end positions of
the valves having no trip dogs of their own. The screw stops are mounted on the outside of the actuator along with the external
protective terminal. When viewing the stop screws, the right-hand stop screw is designedfor the CLOSED position, whereas the
left-hand stop screw is designed for the OPEN position under the assumption that, when viewing the local position indicator, the
output shaft rotates clockwise in the CLOSE direction of rotation. For adjustment of the stop screws, loosen the stop screws,
move the actuator with valve into the CLOSED position, and turn the corresponding stop screw till an increased resistance is felt
when the screw runs onto the stop face within the actuator. Secure the stop screw in position by retightening its lock nut. Then,
rotate the output shaft of the actuator through a 90° angle to bring it into the OPEN position and set the OPEN-position stop
screw by the same procedure.
When setting the stop screws in the actuators, Type Nos 52 326 ant 52 327, care should be taken to ensure that,
in the CLOSED or OPEN end position, the driving gear segment of the position-limit switching and auxiliary signalling
units cannot strike the electric motor. In either end position of the output shaft of the actuator, the local position indicator
should tally with the marks on the index plate.
If the valve is required to be tightly closed in the end position and thus the actuator is to be switched off by means of the torque-
limit switches, the tripping torque should be transferred to the valve. In this case, set the corresponding stop screw so that the valve
is properly sealed when the stops of the output shaft run against the stop screw at which the torque-limit switch operates.
In this case, the respective torque-limit switch is used for switching off the actuator. If stops are required to be used for
protection of the acutator and the valve against damage in the case of a failure of the position-limit switch set the stop screws
to such a position which ensures dependable operation of the position-limit switch and is still permissible for the valve. In this
case, the position-limit switch and the torque-limit switch should be connected in series. Nevertheless, this can only be done
when no tight closure of the valve is required.
