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.

7
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

DIRECT-ACTING REVERSE-ACTING

10
Electro-Hydraulic Actuators :

11
 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.

12
Piston Actuators :
⚫ Uses high pressure plant air up to 150 psig.
⚫ Provides fast stroking speeds.
⚫ Types :
- single acting
- Double acting

13
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.

14
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.

1) Potential Free Contact Type

2) Proximity Type

38
1) Potential Free Contact Type :

39
Micro Switch :

40
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.

41
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
42
is reached.

 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.

49
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.

50
Pilot Operated Valve :

51
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.

52
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

53
54
3) 4/2 and 5/2 (4-Way Valves)
- Four or five pipe connections one pressure, two
cylinder and one or two exhausts.
