Operation - Acutorque actuators are manufactured with an integral and internal air manifold. The solenoid mounting pad is manufactured to NAMUR dimensional standards as to allow for the direct mounting of various manufacturers solenoid valves and other flow control devices. For applications not requiring a direct mount solenoid valve, ports are tapped to NPT standards (American National Standard taper threads).
Reverse Rotation - When required, a clockwise rotation of the drive pinion can be achieved by reversing the pistons inside the actuator body (rotate 180 degrees).
Spring Configuration - Each Acutorque actuator comes with a complete spring pack (6 springs per side with a nylon retainer) unless otherwise specified. When less than the full spring pack is desired for various torque outputs, springs can be removed from the actuator end caps. It is very important that springs can be arranged in a symmetrical manner so that unwarranted side-load does not occur between the pistons and the actuator body. CAUTION: Refer to operation and maintenance instructions before disassembly and removal of springs.
