Actuator Assembly

Type 754, 1/4 in. and 1/2 in. Standard Air-to-Open

DESCRIPTION
The Type 754 actuator is a pneumatically operated, spring opposed
diaphragm actuator designed specifically to fit the Research
Control Valve body-bonnet assembly. The unit is available in two
sizes: one to fit the 1/4 in. valve and a larger version to fit the
1/2…1 in. valves. It provides smooth linear retraction of the
valve stem upon an increasing instrument signal. A decrease in
instrument signal causes the stem to extend and close the valve.
Downward closing force is generated by the spring, bearing on the
diaphragm plate. An increasing pressure in the diaphragm cavity
opposes the force of the spring and retracts the stem, opening the
valve. The unit is designed to extend the stem, closing the valve,
should the instrument signal fail. The actuator has an integrated
up-travel stop.

FUNCTION
The 1/4 in. size 754 actuator normally operates in response to a
3…15 psi (0.21…1.03 bar) change in instrument signal, or a
12 psi (0.8 bar) range. This signal range causes the valve to stroke
a distance of approximately 7/16 in. (11 mm). The standard spring
has a deflection rate of 25 pounds (11.3 kg) per 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) and
operates against an effective diaphragm area of approximately
7.3 in.2 (4709.6 mm2).
The 1/2 in. size 754 actuator also normally operates in response
to a 3…15 psi (0.21…1.03 bar) change in instrument signal, or a STANDARD FEATURES
12 psi (0.8 bar) range. This signal range causes the valve to stroke a
distance of approximately 9/16 in. (14.4 mm). The standard spring • Compact lightweight design
in the 1/2 in. unit has a deflection rate of 30 pounds (13.6 kg) per 1/4 in. unit = 2.05 lb (0.9 kg)
1/8 in. (3.2 mm) and operates against an effective diaphragm area (excluding handwheel and body-bonnet assembly)
of approximately 11.25 in.2 (7258 mm2). 1/2 in. unit = 3.76 lb (1.7 kg)
(excluding handwheel and body-bonnet assembly)
