Manual Actuators :
Useful where automatic control is not required.
For manual control of the process during maintenance
or shutdown of the automatic system.
Much less expensive than automatic actuators.
Are available in various sizes for both globe-style
valves and rotary-shaft valves.
FOR SLIDING-STEM VALVES FOR ROTARY-SHAFT VALVES
Diaphragm Actuators :
Uses input signal from the I/P converter , Positioner or
other source like Manual Loader.
Advantages :
- Dependable
- Simple
- Economical
Types :
- Direct Acting
- Reverse Acting
Diaphragm Actuators :
DIRECT-ACTING REVERSE-ACTING
Electro-Hydraulic Actuators :
Disadvantages :
- More complex.
- More expensive than pneumatic Actuators.
Offers Advantages where :
- No air supply source is available.
- Low ambient temperature could freeze the
condensed water in pneumatic supply.
- Large stem forces are needed.
Piston Actuators :
Uses high pressure plant air up to 150 psig.
Provides fast stroking speeds.
Types :
- single acting
- Double acting
Single acting Piston Actuators :
- Can produce work in only one direction.
- Uses Built-in spring.
Limitation :
- Stroke length is limited.
Applications :
- Fail open or fail closed operation.
Double Acting Piston Actuators :
No return spring.
Able to work in both directions.
Same two ports are used for supply and exhaust
ports.
Applications :
- mostly used where max. force is required in
both directions.

Digital Valve controllers :
Communicating (HART, Field-Bus) , Microprocessor
based current-to-pneumatic instruments.
Features :
- easy access to information which is critical to
process operation.
- avoids high cost of running separate power and
signal wiring.

Principle Of Operation :
Electronic Position Transmitter
Limit Switches
1) Potential Free Contact Type
2) Proximity Type
1) Potential Free Contact Type :
Micro Switch :
2) Proximity switches :
Inductive proximity switches for metal object
capacitive proximity switch for plastic or paper or a
liquid (oil or water), granulate or powder.
Inductive proximity switches :
Working principle :
-Two oscillator coils are used to generate
electromagnetic fields.
- Target cuts the field. Eddy currents are
induced in the target.
- Power loss in resonant circuit.
- Oscillator amplitude consequently falls.
Trigger circuit activates the output
switching device once a certain amplitude
is reached.
Types of Design :
Rectangular Surface switches (FP) Slot type inductive
proximity switches proximity switches
Screw mounted Ring type inductive Cylindrical
proximity switches proximity switches proximity switches

Volume Booster
Solenoid Valves
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION :
A solenoid valve is a combination of two
basic functional units:
1. Solenoid (electro-magnet) with its core (plunger).
2. A valve containing an orifice in which a disc or plug is
positioned to stop or allow flow.
The valve is opened or closed by movement of the magnetic core
which is drawn into a solenoid when the coil is energized.
Direct operated valve :
In a direct operated
valve the solenoid core
is mechanically
connected to the valve
disc and directly opens /
closes the orifice,
dependent upon
energisation or de-
energisation of the
solenoid.
Pilot Operated Valve :
Types Of Valves :
1) 2/2 (2-Way Valves)
- It has one inlet and one
outlet pipe connection.
-Normally Closed
Construction
Valve is closed when de-
energized and open when
energized.
-Normally Open
Construction
Valve is closed when
energized and open when
de-energized.
2) 3/2 (3-WayValves)
- Three pipe connections and two
orifices Used to alternately apply
pressure to and exhaust from
diaphragm.
- Normally closed Construction
- Normally Open
Construction
3) 4/2 and 5/2 (4-Way Valves)
- Four or five pipe connections one pressure, two
cylinder and one or two exhausts.
