SPA-R Pneumatic Quarter Turn Actuators Rack and Pinion

Product catalog summary
Introduction
SPA-R Pneumatic Actuators are designed for modular installation on process control components such as Butterfly Valves, Plug Valves, Ball Valves, and automated Reactor Sampling Systems. They are available in double-acting or single-acting configurations with spring return options.
Modular Design
The actuators can be equipped with solenoid valves, limit switch boxes, or electro-pneumatic positioners. They feature a robust cast aluminum body, optional stainless steel construction, and a smooth cylinder bore finish for durability. They offer excellent corrosion resistance and easy installation with a NAMUR interface.
Operating Data
Actuators operate with filtered air at pressures from 14.2 psi to 116 psi, providing a torque range of 20 to 88,720 in-lbs at 87 psi. They have a 90° operating angle, ±5° stroke adjustment, and a temperature range of -4°F to +176°F.
Technical Specifications
Various models (TR 050 to TR 420) are available, each with specific air volume, opening/closing times, and weight. The actuators undergo 100% function and tightness testing to ensure reliability.
Dimensions and Mounting
Dimensions are provided for each model, with mounting options according to ISO standards. The actuators should not be opened under pressure due to the automatic release of spring cartridges.
Torque Values
Torque values are specified for both double-acting and single-acting configurations across different air supply pressures. The document provides detailed tables for starting and end torque values.
Accessories and Options
Available options include limit switch boxes, solenoid valves, manual overrides, and various mounting kits. Accessories such as silencers, throttling valves, and filter regulators are also available.
