Electro-Pneumatic Positioner
operates from either a 0-20
mADC or 4-20 mADC input
signal. Directly connecting
electric analog instruments
with pneumatic actuators, this
positioner functions as an
integrated I/P converter,
amplifier and controller. Fea-
turing precise positioning at
high torque and short stroking
speeds, the Series 65 Electro-
Pneumatic Postioner provides
excellent performance over a long
service life.

ELECTRO-PNEUMATIC
OPERATION
The input signal (W) flows through the
moving coil (1) which is located in the
field of a permanent magnet (2). The re-
sultant force exerts a torque on the bal-
ance arm (3). This causes a change in the
distance between the nozzle (4) and the
cone (5) which results in a change in the
back pressure at the nozzle. The venturi
(6), which is supplied with the air, con-
verts the back pressure into the pressure
signal (W') which is fed to the
compensator (7). An equilibrium of
forces is set at the balance arm (3) if the
torque produced by the moving coil is
