1) GENERAL FEATURES
KSB manufacture a wide range of part turn pneumatic actuators for valve remote control.
The actuators are available on Double Acting “ACTAIR EVO” and Spring Return “DYNACTAIR EVO” versions.
- The principle of the actuator application is to open and close the connected valve, without the manual operation
with lever or hand wheel, by means of an electric-pneumatic connection on remote control.
The maintenance should be done by KSB trained personnel only.
This instruction manual contains important information regarding the KSB pneumatic actuator operation,
installation, maintenance and storage.
Please read carefully before installation and keep it in a safe place for further reference.
2) WORKING CONDITIONS
a) Construction.
Standard actuators are suitable for indoor and outdoor installation.
The laser marking or a printed label on the actuator body gives the actuator technical characteristics: type, size,
operating pressure, output torque, operating temperature, flange connection, product code and production date.
(See drawing pag.4).
b) Motive energy
The operating media should be dry and filtered compressed air not necessarily lubricated or inert gases
compatible with internal actuator parts and lubricants.
The operating medium shall have a dew point equal to – 20 °C or, to be at least, 10 °C below the ambient
temperature (ISO 8573-1, Class 3).
The maximum particle size shall not exceed 40 μm (ISO 8573-1, Class 5).
In the case of lubrication, the amount of lubricant will not exceed 25 mg/m3(ISO 8573-1, Class 5).
c) Supply operating media pressure.
The maximum supply pressure is 8,4 bar (120 psi)
Nominal supply pressure is 5,6 bar (80 psi)
Working pressure range from 3 bar (43,5 psi ) up to 8,4 bar (120 psi).
d) Operating temperature.
Actuator standard working temperature range: –20°C (-4°F) to 80°C (176°F)
For High temperature range: -20°C (-4°F) to +150°C (302°F) please contact KSB
For low temperature range: -50°C (-58°F) to +60°C (140°F) please contact KSB.
For high humidity and low temperature application are recommended to use a supplementary protection
(e.g. screens, sheds or integral painting) please contact KSB.
e) Operating drive rotation.
The part turn actuator rotation angle is nominally 90°. KSB actuator provides a stroke of 92° rotations, from –1°
to 91°, with an adjustment range of 10° from the closed position.
