Female shaft "Q" Series actuators incorporate several innovative mounting concepts to provide optimum flexibility for new and replacement applications. Eight (8) threaded mounting holes are used in the fully ISO 5211 compliant bolt pattern in place of the standard four. These allow attachment of a Universal Mounting Plate to convert the actuator mounting geometry to match that of nearly any valve. Oversized double square female shaft allows use of a Sleeve Adapter to match the valve shaft geometry to the actuator.

Both top and bottom sides of the "Q" Series actuators are identical so that either may be used to drive the valve. Fail-open or fail-closed operation is achieved simply by choosing which side to use to drive the valve

Accessories may be driven by either side of the actuator using the NAMUR Drive Adapter and NAMUR Mounting Plate.

TORQUE CHARACTERISTICS

Rack & Pinion Vs Scotch Yoke Designs
Rack and pinion mechanisms provide a linear torque characteristic al all travel positions. Scotch yoke designs exhibit a "Torque Belly" with mid-travel torques that are considerably less than their start (break) torque. For optimum valve operation, it is necessary to assure adequate mid-travel as well break torque valves.
