LKB Automatic or Manual Butterfly Valve

Product catalog summary
Overview
LKB is a sanitary butterfly valve designed for use in stainless steel pipe systems. It can be operated either automatically via an actuator or manually with a handle.

Working Principle
The valve can be controlled remotely using an actuator available in three versions: normally closed (NC), normally open (NO), and air/air activated (A/A). The actuator converts axial piston movement into a 90° shaft rotation, increasing torque when the valve disc contacts the seal ring. Manual operation involves a handle that locks the valve in open or closed positions, with some sizes allowing intermediate positions for flow regulation.

Technical Data
  • Valve: Max pressure 1000 kPa, min pressure full vacuum, temperature range -10°C to +95°C.
  • Actuator: Max air pressure 700 kPa, min air pressure 400 kPa, temperature range -25°C to +90°C, air consumption varies by size.

Physical Data
  • Valve Materials: Stainless steel 1.4307 (304L) or 1.4404 (316L), various rubber grades, PVDF bushes.
  • Actuator Materials: Stainless steel body, light alloy or bronze piston, nitrile seals.

Standard Design
The LKB valve is available in versions for ISO, DIN tubes, and flange connections. It consists of two valve body halves, a valve disc, bushes, and a seal ring. The actuator is available in two sizes and versions, and can be fitted onto the valve or ball valves using brackets.

Options
Various options are available, including different handle types, control and indication units, explosion-proof units, and service tools.

Diagrams and Dimensions
Capacity and pressure drop diagrams are provided for different valve states. Torque diagrams for actuators show the relationship between air pressure and actuator motion. Detailed dimensions for valves and actuators are listed, covering various sizes and configurations.

LKB Automatic or Manual Butterfly Valve-1

ky Manual or Automatic - it’s your Choice LKB Automatic or Manual Butterfly Valve Concept LKB is a sanitary automatically or manually operated butterfly valve for use in stainless steel pipe systems. Working principle LKB is either remote-controlled by means of an actuator or manually operated by means of a handle. The actuator is made in three standard versions, normally closed (NC), normally open (NO) and air/air activated (A/A). The actuator is designed so that an axial movement of a piston is transformed into a 90° rotation of a shaft. The torque of the actuator is increased when the valve disc contacts the seal ring of the butterfly valve. The handle for manual operation mechanically locks the valve in its open or closed position. The handles for the valve sizes DN125 and DN150, which are designed for locking in two intermediate positions, enable adjusting of the valve, so that the flow rate can be regulated. .

LKB Automatic or Manual Butterfly Valve-2

Standard design LKB is available in three versions, LKB for ISO tubes, LKB-2 for DIN tubes and LKB-F for flange connection. The valve consists of two valve body halves, valve disc, bushes for the disc stem and seal ring. LKB-F also consists of two flanges and two flange seal rings. The valve is assembled by means of screws and nuts. Two actuator sizes, ø85 mm and ø133 mm, cover all valve sizes. The actuator is available in two versions, LKLA and LKLA-T. The actuator is fitted onto the valve by means of a bracket and screws. (The actuator can also be fitted onto ball valves by means of special...
