5. Model Number Designations
6. Tool Requirements
No special tools are required for the installation, commissioning and maintenance of Paladon
Systems Ltd actuators.
7. Valve/Actuator Mounting
Valve mounting is achieved through one of the following:
Direct mounting using threaded holes on the actuator’s body flange.
Stem adapter mounting using an adapter and coupling joint.
Paladon Systems Ltd actuators can be mounted in any orientation; however, it is common
industry practice to align the centreline of the actuator’s pneumatic cylinder with that of the
valve pipework. NOTE: Certain control components require mounting in a specific
orientation with respect to gravity in order to function correctly.
To assemble the actuator to the valve:
7.1 Check that the coupling dimensions of the actuator are suitable for those of the
valve flange and stem.
7.2 Move the valve to the open or closed position to match the rest position of the
actuator.
