1. Overview
This series is a pneumatic piston actuator with large output force and high performance. It is used in combination with straight-stroke control valves, including globe valves, cage valves, gate valves, etc. The design of this series of actuators can make the control valve reliable on-off or regulating control. This series of actuators are divided into two types, single-acting and double-acting. Single-acting actuators are divided into two types, direct-acting (GD-Z) and counter-acting (GD-F). They are spring-loaded cylinder-type actuators; and double-acting (GD-F) -D) The actuator is a cylinder type actuator that is controlled by air pressure without spring loading, and its mechanism positions the valve core according to the constantly changing pneumatic loading pressure on the cylinder. See the figure on the right for an example of a pneumatic piston actuator. | |

Three, other configurations can be provided
Top/side mounting handwheel
To meet manual operation in emergency situations, the GD type actuator can be equipped with a top-mounted or side-mounted handwheel assembly.
The fixed handwheel on the GD type actuator can be used to set the travel limit in the upward direction. The handwheel of GD-Z type actuator rotates clockwise to make the actuator push rod move downward to compress the spring; when the handwheel rotates counterclockwise, the action of the spring pushes the push rod back. For the GD-F type actuator, counterclockwise rotation will move the push rod upward; when it is rotated clockwise, the spring will push the push rod downward.
The side-mounted handwheel on the GD type actuator locates the handwheel on one side of the bracket. Through the worm gear drive, the handwheel drive can also be used as a stroke limiter.
