1. Design and principle of operation
The electric actuators consist of a re ersible
synchronous motor and a maintenance-free
gear incorporated in a plastic housing.
The actuator is connected to the al e by
means of a coupling nut (4), which pro ides
a force-locking connection, or by means of
a stem connector, which pro ides a form-fit
connection between the actuator stem and
the plug stem.
The rotary motion of the actuator motor is
transmitted to the actuator stem (3), and
hence to the plug stem of the connected
al e ia a crank disc.
The motor is disconnected ia torque-
dependent switches (10) when the al e
has reached either of its final positions or
an o erload occurs.
Type 5824 without fail-safe action
In case of a force-locking connection be-
tween actuator and al e, the spring in-
stalled in the al e causes the plug stem to
follow the mo ement of the actuator stem
when the actuator stem retracts.
The al e can be manually mo ed to the
desired position by means of a handwheel (2).
Type 5825 with fail-safe action
The actuators with fail-safe action largely
comply with the Type 5824 ersion illus-
trated in Fig. 2. In addition, they contain a
spring mechanism (8) and an electromagnet.
If the control oltage applied to the electro-
magnet is interrupted, the actuator mo es to
the fail-safe position.
When de-energized in this way, the magnet
disengages the coupling between gear and
actuator motor. This causes the spring mech-
anism to mo e the actuator stem fully in the
operating direction OUT (or IN). The con-
nected (globe) al e is mo ed to the closed
position.
CAUTION! Do not use the magnet for con-
trol tasks.
The Type 5825 is not equipped with a hand-
wheel (2) on the housing co er.
Manual adjustment ia a hexagonal wrench
is only possible after the front co er has
been remo ed.
Typetest
The electric actuators with fail-safe action
ha e been typetested by the German
Technical Inspectorate TÜV according to
DIN 32730.
The register no. is indicated on the name
plate.
