3 Design and principle of oper-
ation
TheType3375ElectricActuatorisusedin
industrial plants as well as in heating, venti-
lation and air-conditioning systems.
This linear actuator is particularly suitable,
depending on whether the version is with or
without fail-safe action, for attachment to
SAMSONSeries240and250Valvesas
wellastoType3260Valve(DN200,250
and300)andType3214Valve(DN300
and 400).
The actuator can be used for various types of
control(seethe'Start-upandconguration'
section).
Principle of operation
The electric actuator consists of a reversible
asynchronous motor and a maintenance-free
planetary gear with ball screw drive. The ac-
tuator is switched off by torque-dependent
limit contacts. Additionally, the asynchro-
nous motor is protected by a thermal fuse.
3.1 Fail-safe action
The actuator versions with fail-safe action
contain a spring mechanism and an electro-
magnet. The actuator is moved by the force
of the spring to the fail-safe position when
the electromagnet (terminals L and N) is
de-energized. The direction of action de-
pends on the actuator version and cannot be
reversed.
3.2 Communication
Serial interface
TheactuatoristtedwithanRS-232serial
interface as standard. This allows communi-
cation with TROVIS-VIEW using SSP proto-
col.
The actuator can also be tted with an op-
tional RS-485 module (see the 'Installation'
section).
Conguration
Theactuatorcanbeconguredwiththe
TROVIS-VIEW software. In this case, the seri-
al interface on the actuator is used to con-
nect the actuator to the computer.
