PN-Series Valve Actuators

This training course provides an introduction to PN-Series pneumatic scotch-yoke valve actuators.

During this training course employees will:

Understand the difference between double-acting and spring-return actuators
Get an overview of power modules, drive modules and spring modules and the main features of each module type
See how a scotch-yoke mechanism converts thrust into torque and how it is able to vary its torque output throughout an actuator’s stroke
Learn the three different types of actuator yokes and why they are required
Find out what information is required as a minimum to ensure optimum actuator selection
Understand the purpose of an actuator’s end stops and where they are located
See how actuators are typically mounted to valves
Review an actuator’s materials of construction
Understand how actuator model numbers are constructed
