3 OPERATION AND USE
3.1 Operation description
The air pressurizes the cylinder chamber and
this pressure starts the linear motion of the
piston and the consequent rotation motion
of the rack and pinion mechanism, to which
the valve stem is coupled, in one direction.
The operation in the opposite direction is
made by the linear movement generated from
the spring releasing, when the opposition
of pneumatic supply is discharged from the
cylinder.
For local or remote operations related
to the actuator, please refer to technical
documentation furnished with delivery
actuators (schematics, overall dimensions and
parts list).
