Design and principle of operation

The medium flows through the valve in the direction indicated
by the arrow. The valve plug position determines the
cross-sectional area between the seat and plug.
Depending on how the springs are arranged in the pneumatic
actuator (see Data Sheets u T 8310‑1 and u T 8310‑2), the
valve has two different fail-safe positions that become effective
when the supply air fails:
– Actuator stem extends (fail-close)
The valve closes when the supply air fails.
– Actuator stem retracts (fail-open)
The valve opens when the supply air fails.
