Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed technical specifications and features of Richter's twin piston quarter-turn actuators, designed for automation of control ball and butterfly valves in various industrial applications.
Product Features:
  • Rugged and maintenance-free design with a long service life due to wear-resistant components.
  • High safety during conversion and repairs, with a blow-out proof pinion shaft.
  • Adjustable pivoting angle limit from +5° to -5°.
  • Comprehensive accessory package available.
Fields of Application: These actuators are suitable for pneumatic remote actuation of rotary valves, flow control in chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, water/wastewater, pulp production, power plant technology, metal processing, food technology, and waste disposal/recycling industries.
Design Specifications:
  • Pneumatic twin piston quarter-turn actuator available in single-acting (RA-1) and double-acting (RA-2) types.
  • Drive pinion shaft conforms to EN ISO 5211 standards.
  • Operating range includes control air pressure of 2-10 bar and ambient temperatures from -50°C to +70°C.
  • Special designs available for highly corrosive atmospheres.
Operating Medium/Quality: Requires filtered air with residual oil, dust, and water according to DIN ISO 8573-1 Class 4.
Type Code: The actuators are coded based on their function (single or double-acting), size, and pivoting angle.
Components and Materials: The actuators are constructed from anodised aluminum alloy, with options for hard anodising and teflonising. Key components include nitrile rubber O-rings, Delrin guide rings, and stainless steel parts for durability.
Torque Specifications: Detailed torque values are provided for both single-acting and double-acting actuators across various control pressures, highlighting the adaptability of the actuators to different operational requirements.
Dimensions and Weights: The document includes comprehensive tables detailing the dimensions, weights, and air consumption for different actuator sizes, ensuring precise selection and application.
