Operating Principle
The Series F39 Pneumatic Actuator design is based on the opposed rack-
and-pinion principle utilizing piston guide rods to guarantee part alignment.
The fully supported guide rods minimize friction and wear between the
pistons and the body bore.

Torque Output
Sizing
Determine appropriate valve torque requirements from valve literature. For double-acting actuators, select the actuator whose torque output at
available air supply exceeds breakaway torque requirements of the valve. For detailed instructions, consult Worcester Controls Ball Valve Actuator
Selection Manual.
For fail-closed, spring-return actuators, select the appropriate size actuator whose torque output at the end of the spring stroke (at available air
supply) is sufficient to close the valve.

Operating Conditions
Pressure Range 30–120 psi Double-Acting, 40–120 psi All Spring-Return Versions (Standard spring-return units require 80 psi minimum. Reduced-pressure versions are available).
Rotation Actuators rotate in counterclockwise direction when the outer air connection is pressurized.
Movement 90° with 3° over travel and 10° under travel controllable
Supply Air The Series F39 Actuator is factory lubricated. For optimum performance, standard filtered and lubricated air is recommended.
