D-Series Rack & Pinion Pneumatic Actuators

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Bettis® D-Series pneumatic rack and pinion actuators are engineered for reliability and cost-effectiveness in valve automation, particularly for quarter-turn applications like plug, butterfly, and ball valves. They are compact and lightweight, making them suitable for tight piping installations.
Operating Ranges
The actuators deliver torque outputs up to 22,379 lb-in for double-acting models and 7,939 lb-in for spring-return models. They function at pressures from 40 to 120 psig and temperatures from -4°F to +175°F, with optional trims extending to -40°F to +250°F.
Key Features
  • Splined Drive Inserts: Enable universal mounting without brackets or couplings.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Includes a two-component polyurethane epoxy coating and anodized housing for high corrosion resistance.
  • BettisGuard™: Provides enhanced corrosion protection for hostile environments.
  • Three-Point Suspension: Prevents metal-to-metal contact, enhancing cycle life.
  • Dual Stroke Adjustment: Allows precision alignment of valve elements.
  • Blowout-Proof Pinion: Protects against gear blowouts.
  • NAMUR Mounting: Supports international standard drive for accessories.
  • Modular Design: Easily convertible between configurations.
  • Multiple-Spring Design: Accommodates various air supply requirements.
Materials of Construction
The body is constructed from anodized aluminum alloy, with options for stainless steel pinion gears. Pistons are made from aluminum alloy with corrosion protection, and fasteners are 304 stainless steel.
Sizing Data
Available in ten spring-return and ten double-acting models, compliant with ISO 9001, NAMUR, DIN 3337, and ISO 5211 standards.
Technical Data
Includes torque ratings, operating pressures, temperature ranges, and media specifications. The actuators support a 96° total travel adjustment.
Accessories
  • Gear Operator: Manual override for actuator operation.
  • Breather Block: Prevents contaminants in spring-return actuators.
  • Partial Test Stroke Devices (PTSD): Allows periodic testing without disrupting processes.
Control Systems
Compatible with various control systems, including NAMUR components and BettiSwitch II.
