On/Off & Modulating Electric Actuators

Product catalog summary
Overview: The AE Series Technical Brochure by Max-Air Technology Inc. details rotary actuators and valve automation solutions, focusing on electric actuators for on/off and modulating applications. It includes specifications, features, benefits, and technical data for the AE Series actuators.
Specifications: The AE Series offers on/off and modulating actuators with polycarbonate or aluminum lids, available in sizes 01, 02, and 03. They support various motors (standard, M1, M2) and voltages (120VAC, 220VAC, 24VAC/VDC, 12VDC), designed for light-duty applications with a temperature range of -14°F to 140°F.
Features & Benefits: Key features include a compact design, direct ISO 5211 valve mounting, multiple voltage options, manual override, auxiliary limit switches, LED position indication, and internal space heaters. They are suitable for ordinary and industrial applications, with torque ranges from 80 to 1,500 in-lbs and an IP67 enclosure protection rating.
Technical Data: Detailed technical data includes torque, weight, duty cycle, and cycle time for various models, along with wiring diagrams and installation dimensions.
Warranty: A warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for 12 months from installation or 18 months from shipment, excluding chemical or stress corrosion and unauthorized modifications.
Installation & Configuration: Installation notes and configuration options are provided for standard on/off, extended duty, fast acting, and modulating control models, emphasizing the importance of selecting the correct actuator series based on application requirements.
Comparison with ME Series: The AE Series is compared with the ME Series, highlighting differences in service, electrical classification, and available options. The ME Series offers industrial-grade features and additional options like handwheel override and torque limit switches.
Installation Notes:
  • The indicator window displays valve status: O for Open, S for Shut.
  • Ensure the O-ring is correctly placed in the groove before fastening the actuator cover to prevent water and dust ingress.
Travel Stop Adjustment:
  • Adjust the Open travel stop by turning counterclockwise (CCW) to withdraw the screw by about 1/8”.
  • Signal the actuator to the open position and verify the valve's position. Adjust as needed: CCW for more open, clockwise (CW) for more closed.
  • Repeat for the Shut travel stop.
Limit Switch Cam Operation:
  • Open and Closed cams are attached to the transmission shaft, turning CCW to open until the Open cam triggers the Open switch, and CW to close until the Closed cam triggers the Shut switch.
Limit Switch Cam Adjustment:
  • Loosen the cam set screw with an allen key to adjust the cam freely.
  • Adjust the Open cam: CCW to open less, CW to open more.
  • Adjust the Closed cam: CCW to close more, CW to close less.
  • Retighten the cam set screw and test the actuator for proper tripping at the set position.
Manual Operation:
  • Ensure power is off before manual operation or maintenance.
  • If abnormal friction is felt, avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
Maintenance:
  • Contact Max-Air for malfunctions.
  • Use specified fuse replacements as listed in the manual.
  • Avoid dismounting the electric actuator and valve unless necessary, as limit switches will need recalibration.
  • Allow a three-minute rest before restarting.
