9. Mechanical stopper
Refer to “Fig.9-1” on page 52 for details of construction.  This device can be used 
as MIN. stopper or MAX. stopper as required.  Also, it can be used as MIN/MAX 
stopper.
The MIN. stopper (limits valve’s minimum opening for direct acting valve) regulates 
the maximum suction of stopper shaft, and the MAX stopper (limits valve’s 
maximum opening of valve opening for direct acting valve) regulates maximum 
extrusion of stopper shaft 4.
9.1 Adjustment of MIN. stopper
(1)  Loosen detent 2 and remove MAX. stopper 1 (adjust cover) from housing 5.
(2)  Loosen hexnut 3 for MIN. stopper and remove from stopper shaft 4.  Although 
the stopper does not function in this condition, the valve can operate across the 
rated range of lift.
(3)  Manipulate positioner signal, supply air pressure or manual handle to set the 
valve at the stopper’s set position.
(4)  Lock the detent at the position when it hits housing 5 while the valve is set.
(5)  Assemble and lock MAX. stopper and detent 2 at the position where they do not 
hit the maximum protruding position of stopper shaft 4.
9.2 Adjustment of MAX. stopper
(1)  Loosen detent 2 and remove MAX. stopper 1 (adjust cover) from housing 5.
(2)  Loosen hexnut 3 for MIN. stopper and remove from stopper shaft 4.  Although 
the stopper does not function in this condition, the valve can operate across the 
rated range of lift.
(3)  Manipulate positioner signal, supply air pressure or manual handle to set the 
valve at fully open position.
(4)  Screw on hex head nut for MIN. stopper 3 onto stopper shaft 4.  The hexnut for 
MIN. stopper 3 should be locked at the top end of the stopper shaft 4 to make 
the distance between the lower face of the hexnut 3 and housing 5 larger than the 
rated lift. 
(5)  Manipulate positioner signal, supply air pressure or manual handle to set hte 
valve at the stopper’s set position.
(6)  Screw MAX. stopper 1 onto housing 5, and when MAX. stopper 1 seats against 
hexnut for MIN. stopper 3 or stopper shaft 4, lock MAX. stopper 1 with detent 2.
