Electric Actuator for Quarter-turn Valves

For Output Torques to 15,100 lb.in.

Features and Benefits

• Permanently lubricated self-locking
gear train eliminates the need for
motor brakes.
• Standard manual override does not
require use of levers or latches.
• Mechanical travel stops adjustable
to 15 degrees in both directions for
precise adjustment to valve travel
requirements.
• Available in NEMA 4X or NEMA 7
enclosures with Factory Mutual, UL
or CSA approvals.
• UL recognized motor with thermal
overload devices in motor windings
protects the motor should overheating
occur.
• Dynamometer calibrated torque
switches available in units with 600
lb.in. or more output torque eliminate
requirement for field calibration.
• Epoxy coated aluminum housings
permit service in aggressive environ-
ments. Explosion-proof versions utilize
zinc-aluminum alloy for maximum
enclosure integrity. (Ductile iron hous-
ings also available.)
• Visual mechanical position indicator
for accurate visual reference of valve
position.
• Exclusive K-CAM limit switch cams Optional Temperature: -40°F to 120°F

Principles of Operation 4. Since the fixed annulus is the refer-

One of the most important features of
the Figure 777 is the use of epicyclic
gearing. The following explanation and
diagram describe, in sequence, how this
system is utilized in the Figure 777
actuator.
Electric operation
1. The motor pinion gear drives the input
gear.
2. The input gear is directly fixed to the
eccentric carrier and, therefore, drives
it.
3. The eccentric carrier moves the com-
pound gear around inside of the fixed
annulus.
4. Because of a one-tooth difference
between the compound gear and out-
put gear, the output gear rotates. This
type of gear is inherently self-locking.
ence point for the epicyclic gear train,
the output gear is also driven.
5. The worm gear can drive the fixed
annulus, but the fixed annulus cannot
drive the worm gear. Therefore, no
de-clutch mechanism is required for
manual operation.
Torque limiting
1. Output torque puts a reaction onto the
fixed annulus via the compound gear.
2. The reaction force on the fixed annu-
lus tends to move the worm gear
against the Belleville washers. This
movement is proportional to output
torque.
3. The axial movement of the worm gear
is converted to a rotation on the
torque shaft. This rotation moves the
adjustable cams to trip the torque
switches.

Manual operation
1. Turning the handwheel drives the
manual input shaft.
2. The manual input shaft drives the
worm gear.
3. The worm gear drives the fixed annu-
lus.

Available Options
Combined Servo-amp and Speed
Control Module
The Servo-amp Module is used when
the application requires the actuator to
position the valve using an analog
command signal.
The following command signals can be
utilized by the Servo-amp Module:
• 4-20 mA
• 0.4-2 mA
• 10-50 mA
• 1-5 VDC
• 2-10 VDC
• 0-5k, 0-2.5k, and 0-135k ohms
This module has a voltage selector
switch as standard, allowing the
module to be suitable for 120 VAC or
220 VAC, single-phase applications.
The speed control feature allows for
independent adjustment of actuator
cycle time for either direction. The
deadband adjustment permits stable
operation in case of rapidly changing
process signals. This module is
adaptable for either direct acting
(increasing signal to ‘open’) or reverse
acting (increasing signal to ‘close’)
control applications.
Fail-in-last-place Module
This module is used in conjunction with
the Servo-amp Module when the
application requires the actuator to
maintain its last position upon loss of
control signal. Upon sensing loss of
incoming 4-20 mA analog signal, the
Optional accessories include (left to right): Retransmission Module, Speed
Control, Servo-amp, and Potentiometer.

120 VAC to the motor is interrupted.
The actuator will maintain its last
setpoint position. Upon restoration
of the analog signal, the actuator
will resume modulating operation.
This module is suitable for 4-20 mA
analog input signal and 120 VAC,
one-phase 50/60 Hz applications only.
Anti-condensation Heaters
Temperature regulated anti-conden-
sation heaters can be installed in EPI-3
through EPI-151 actuators and are
available in 3 watt or 6 watt ratings.
Available voltages are 120/220 VAC,

Control Boxes
A wide selection of Control Boxes are
available for either integral mounting
to the actuator or for wall or pedestal
mounting. Options such as indicating
lights, push buttons, and/or selector
switches can be provided to facilitate
local operation. Control devices such
as reversing contactors, transformers,

devices are suitable for installation
within the control box to satisfy specific
automation and control requirements.
Control Box enclosures can be
provided in NEMA 4/4X ratings, or in
explosion-proof ratings suitable for
hazardous locations (wall or pedestal
mounting only).
The control boxes can be provided in
steel, fiberglass, or stainless steel to
address a variety of aggressive
environmental applications.
Fieldbus Solutions
Multiple non-proprietary fieldbus
options are now available for use with
the Figure 777 actuator. These
modules are easily incorporated into
the actuator enclosure allowing for
on/off or modulating control and status
feedback.
Fieldbus systems allow multiple
actuators and other instrumentation to
be linked together in a common
communications loop saving the
customer design time, installation
expense and maintenance costs.
