7 Assembly and installation
7.1 Assembly without adapter bridge
Fig. 4 Assembly without adapter bridge
1. Prepare process valve.
Adjust the control shaft of the process valve so that the desired operating
method for opening and closing is implemented.
2. Place the semi-rotary drive on the control shaft of the process valve. The con-
trol shaft must sit in the coupling of the semi-rotary drive (è Fig.1,aB)
without tilting.
3. Mount the semi-rotary drive on the connecting flange of the process valve
using 4 corrosion-resistant screws and retaining rings (material: CI).
4. Tighten the screws crosswise è Tab. 8 Tightening torque for flange.
7.2 Assembly with adapter bridge
1Adapter bridge
2Coupling
Fig. 5 Assembly with adapter bridge
1. Have adapter bridge and coupling ready.
– Accessories è 3 Additional information
2. Mount the adapter bridge 1 on the semi-rotary drive.
– Align studs of the adapter bridge lengthwise to the drive.
– Align open side of the adapter bridge with the process valve.
– Do not jam the centring ring in the drilled hole for the adapter bridge.
– Tighten screws, but not yet fully tight.
3. Prepare process valve.
Adjust the control shaft of the process valve so that the desired operating
method for opening and closing is implemented.
4. Insert the coupling 2. The square of the coupling must sit in the coupling of
the semi-rotary drive without tilting (è Fig.1,aB).
5. Place the semi-rotary drive with adapter bridge and coupling on the control
shaft of the process valve. The square of the process valve must sit in the
coupling without tilting.
6. Mount the adapter bridge on the connecting flange of the process valve using
4 corrosion-resistant screws and retaining rings (material: CI).
7. Tighten the screws at both the drive and process valve crosswise
è Tab. 8 Tightening torque for flange.
7.3 Pneumatic connection
Single-acting semi-rotary drive
1. Prevent corrosive atmosphere in the spring space. If there is a corrosive atmo-
sphere, use a rebreather block.
2. Mount a filter element on the exhaust port 4 (A) to prevent ingress of dirt.
