AIR TORQUE ACTUATOR SIZING
 
Sizing example of Double Acting AT actuator (see also technical data):
 • Published butterfly valve torque = 40Nm
 • Safety factor (20%) = 40 Nm + 20% = 48 Nm
 • Air supply pressure available = 5 bar
 
FIG. DA05
 
The double acting AT actuator that produces a minimum of 48 Nm at 5 bar is AT200
(see also the Fig. DA05).

Sizing example of Spring Return AT actuator (see also technical data):
 
FIG. SR07
 
FIG. SR08
 
 
-  SPRING TO CLOSE WHEN AIR FAILS (Balanced Torque) see also the Fig. SR07.

   Published ball valve torque = 80 Nm
   Safety factor (20%) = 80 Nm + 20% = 96 Nm
   Air supply pressure available = 5 bar
The spring return AT actuator selected is AT400 S10, because it produces the
following values:

spring stroke 0° = 105 Nm
spring stroke 90° = 165 Nm
air stroke 0° = 172 Nm
air stroke 90° = 112 Nm
 
 
-  SPRING TO CLOSE WHEN AIR FAILS (Unbalanced Torque) see also the Fig. SR08.

   Published butterfly valve torque = 45 Nm
   Safety factor (20%) = 47 Nm + 20% = 56.4 Nm
   Air supply pressure available = 5.5 bar
 
The spring return AT actuator selected is AT300 S12, because it produces the
following values:

spring stroke 0° = 60.8 Nm
spring stroke 90° = 94.5 Nm
air stroke 0° = 85.4 Nm
air stroke 90° = 51.7 Nm
