350 Series Electrohydraulic Actuators

350 Series electrohydraulic actuators (figure 1) use a
dc milliampere signal to operate a variety of
sliding-stem or rotary valves for proportional or
two-position control. Configurations of specific types
are described in table 1.

Available with an assortment of options including

side-mounted handwheels, these actuators can be
used in installations where only electric power is
available or wherever accurate, reliable valve control is
required in an all-electric system. However, for
hazardous area applications, the actuator must be
equipped with an intrinsically safe control circuit.
An explosion-proof motor is also required as part
of the intrinsically safe application.

Separate use of either an intrinsically safe control

circuit or an explosion-proof motor results in an
actuator with no hazardous area rating. For more
information, refer to the hazardous area classifications
bulletin.

Features
D Simple Field Connections—The self-contained
design of the actuator houses all hydraulic and
electrical components inside the case. No external
piping is needed and the only field hookups are a
control signal and a power line.

D Versatility—The 350 Series product line offers

choices of stem connections, yoke boss sizes, thrusts
and torques, and failure modes.

D Minimum Downtime—As a single assembly, the

pump, motor, and coil are easily removed and
replaced.

D Easy, Convenient Adjustment—When the

cover is removed, zero and span adjustments are
readily accessible (see figure 2). W2286–1/IL

D High Thrust/High Torque—Depending on

Figure 1. Type 350 Actuator with Side-Mounted Handwheel
construction, the actuators are able to deliver up to Mounted on Design ED Valve Body
22240 N (5000 pounds) of thrust or 794 NSm (7031
inch-pounds) of torque to handle requirements of large
valves.

except that an increasing input signal retracts the
actuator piston rod. In a similar manner, a decreasing input signal moves
the coil away from the force motor and the piston rod
moves upward.
As the input signal increases, the magnetic field
around the coil builds, moving the coil toward the force
motor and pivoting a flapper closer to nozzle A and
farther from nozzle B. The unbalanced pressure in the Actuator Frequency Response
bellows pivots a flapper closer to nozzle D and farther
from nozzle C. Capping nozzle D increases the Figure 4 shows how a 350 Series actuator responds
