3025 Actuator 61.1:3025

D102789X012 March 2012

Fisherr 3025 Sizes P462, P460-200, and P900

Diaphragm Actuator
Fisher 3025 Size P460-200, P462 and P900 spring
opposed diaphragm actuators position the valve plug
in the valve body in response to varying controller or
valve positioner pneumatic output signals applied to
the actuator diaphragm. They can be specified as
either direct, e.g. air-to-close, or reverse acting e.g.
air-to-open (see figure 1). These actuators are
designed to provide dependable on-off or throttling
operation of automatic control valves.

The size P462 is available for travels up to 120 mm,

4.75 inches with air-to-open and air-to-close action.

The size P460-200 is available for travels up to 200

mm, 8 inches with air-to-open and air-to-close action.

The size P900 is available for travels up to 120 mm,

4.75 inches with air-to-open and air-to-close action.
