In t r o D u c t I o n
The Bray Series 70 is a quarter turn electric actuator with
manual override for use on any quarter turn valve requiring
up to 18000 in•lb of torque. Operating speeds vary between
6 to 90 seconds.
Pr i n c i P l e OfOP e r a t i O n
The Series 70 actuator is basically divided into two internal
sections; the power center below the switchplate, and the
control center above the switchplate. Below the switchplate
the capacitor and gearmotor with its spur geartrain drive a nal
non-backdriveablewormgearoutput.Theoverridemechanism
for manual operation is also housed here. Above the switch-
plate is where user required, readily accessible components
are placed. The camshaft assembly, limit switches, terminal
strips, torque switches, heater, and servo are all placed here
for easy access. External to the unit are found adjustable me-
chanical travel stops, a large easy to read indicator, the unique
manual override handwheel and dual conduit entry ports. The
external coating is a high quality polyester powder coat which
has exceptional UV as well as chemical resistance.
el e c t r i c a l OP e r a t i O n
The motors used in the Bray Series 70 are either permanent
induction split capacitor design (single phase AC power),
SCI (Three Phase AC Power) or PM (DC Power). Travel limit
switches are mechanical form (SPDT) with contacts rated at
10 amp (0.8 PF), 1/2 HP 125/250 VAC. In cases where the
torque capacity of the unit is exceeded to the point where the
motor stalls and overheats, a thermal protector switch built
into the motor windings will automatically disconnect the motor
power. Once the motor cools sufciently the thermal protector
switch will reset. Optional torque switches are available in all
units to prevent the possibility of stalling the motor, thus reduc-
ing the necessity for an inoperable thermal cooldown period.
Torque switches installed by Bray are factory adjusted to the
output torque rating of the unit using electronic torque testing
equipment.
NOTICE
Field adjustment of the torque switches is not recommended.

Me c h a n i c a l OP e r a t i O n
Mechanically, the ratio of the gearmotor determines the speed
of the unit. The gearmotor utilizes high efciency spur gears
with various ratios for the different speeds. Initial gear reduction

nal gear reduction and output is through a non-backdriveable
worm gear set. Positioning is determined by an indicator-cam
shaft linked to the output shaft. In the declutchable condition
the manual override drives the worm shaft when engaged.
