OMAL ACTUATOR FEATURES

OMAL produces a wide range of pneumatic actuators (Double Acting actuators: DOUBLE ACTING ACTUATOR WORKING PRINCIPLE
from 8 to 8000 Nm - Spring Return actuators: from 15 to 4000 Nm) which can
meet all customersí requests. Their torque curve has been made higher in the
opening and closing phase to overcome the adherence of the seats which might

take place when a valve has been closed for a long time. A very accurate selection
of materials and their careful treatment make total reliability and high working
quality possible.
A
ACTUATORS - CONTROL MEDIA: Filtered compressed air (maximum filter size 40μm) dry, not
necessarily lubricated.
- TEMPERATUE: from 0°C to +80°C; from - 20°C to +80°C with dry air
Special versions: hight temperature:-20°C +150°C; low temperature: -50°C +60°
- PRESSURE: 5,6 bar nominal pressure 8,4 bar max.
Pmax * 7 bar for actuators and SR4000 series DA8000
NOTE: Make sure that the torque necessary to operate the valve is compatible Top view Top view
with the actuator torque (it depens on both actuator type and air supply). Please
note that the requested torque depends not only on the valve, but on the wor-
king conditions and the safety margins of the plant in question, too.

on the devices’label.
Remove any manual opening device from the valve, leaving the valve stem
clear. Make sure that the shape of the stem fits the actuator output and that the
rotation is not hindered in any way. Mount the actuator onto the valve, centring
it well on the stem. Make sure that the rotation direction is correct (see the
ìWorking diagramî). We strongly suggest checking the cleanness of the air-supply
pipes, especially when the plant is not provided with filters. A spacer between
actuator and valve will be necessary with fluids at high temperatures.
The devices must always be not in service (without air feed), during installation,
maintenance and handling operations to avoid risks for the safety.
NOTE: A Spring Return (S.R.) actuator must be provided with a filter on the air
outlet hole to prevent dust and other substances from being sucked up into
the actuator. SPRING RETURN ACTUATOR WORKING PRINCIPLE
WARNING!!: Being pre-compressed, springs must not be disassembled from
the caps. Such an operation might be very dangerous.The actuator in some
configuration has protruding and moving parts that may be a risk to the safety
of persons in case of accidental contact:
-Stem B1
-Device switches (mechanical, pneumatic ...)
The user has to verify before the installation if any possible risk is occuring and
take all the appropriate protections asking them if needed, to the producer.

MAINTENANCE
If an OMAL actuator is properly assembled and used, it will be maintenance free,
as it has been lubricated enough to last a normal working life under normal
working conditions. Should it get necessary to replace its seals, we suggest
turning to OMAL s.a.s where the product will be overhauled first and, then,
tested. On request, OMAL s.a.s will be willing to provide its customers with Kits With no air supply, the actuator goes auto- Supplying the hole “B1” with air, the pistons
