1. These values also apply to the Type 657-4 actuator construction.
2. Actuator travel may be less than the value listed after connecting the actuator to the valve.
3. Maximum travel for Type 657-4 is 102 mm (4 inches).
4. Normal operating diaphragm pressure must not exceed maximum diaphragm casing pressure and must not produce a force on the actuator stem greater than the maximum allowable
output thrust or the maximum allowable valve stem load.
5. This maximum casing pressure is not to be used for normal operating pressure. Its purpose is to allow for typical regulator supply settings and/or relief valve tolerances.
