Selection Of Pneumatic Actuator

Selection Of Double Acting Actuator:

The suggested safety factor for double acting actuators under normal working conditions is 20%~30%.

Example:

  • The torque needed by valve=100Nm.
  • The torque considered safety factor (1+30%)=130Nm
  • Air Supply=5bar
  • According the below table, we can choose the minimum model is AT160DA.
  •  
  • Output Torque Of Double Acting Actuators:

Selection Of Single Acting Actuator:

The suggested safety factor for spring return actuator under normal working conditions is 30%~50%.

Example:

  • The torque needed by valve=80Nm
  • The torque consider safety factor=80(1+30%)=104Nm
  • Air Supply=5bar
  • According to the below table, we find output torque of AT140SR K7 is:
  • Air stroke 0°=308Nm
  • Air stroke 90°=247Nm
  • Spring stroke 0°=120Nm
  • Spring stroke 90°=181Nm
  • All the output torque is large than we needed.
  • Output Torque Of Spring Return Actuators:
