This standard is intended to permit a variety of positioning devices which respond to a linear motion to be mounted on the actuator of a control valve, either directly or by employing an intermediate mounting bracket. There is a large variety of types, sizes and designs of actuators. The following parameters define the intended applicability of this standard for the guidance of manufacturers and users.
- The standardized mounting applies only to positioners which are mounted on the side of the actuator.
- The standardized mounting applies in general only to those actuators which have a travel of 100 mm or less.
- The standardized mounting is designed to cover three basic types of actuator design (see Figure 1, page 12):
- those with some form of cast or fabricated yoke to connect the actuator power unit to the valve;
- those which use some form of central tube yoke to connect the actuator power unit to the valve;
- those in which the yoke incorporates two or more columns or pillars to connect the actuator power unit to the valve.
Methods of mounting a variety of positioning devices on the actuator of a control valve, either directly, or by employing an intermediate mounting bracket. Thus compatibility of products from different manufacturers will be assured.
