1.1.2 Terms and conditions

Bif Italia s.r.l. guarantees that all the items produced are free of defects in workmanship

and manufacturing materials and meet relevant current specications, provided they

are installed, used and serviced according to the instructions contained in the present

manual. The warranty can last either one year from the date of installation by the initial

user of the product, or eighteen months from the date of shipment to the initial user,

depending on which event occurs rst. All detailed warranty conditions are specied in

the documentation forwarded together with the product. This warranty does not cover

special products or components not warranted by subcontractors, or materials that were

used or installed improperly or were modied or repaired by unauthorized staff. In the

event that a fault condition be caused by improper installation, maintenance or use, or by

irregular working conditions, the repairs will be charged according to applicable fees.

The warranty and Bif Italia s.r.l. liability shall lapse in the event that any modication

or tampering whatsoever be performed on the actuator.

Section 1: General Warnings

1.3 Introducing the Actuator

RPD actuators are pneumatic low pressure Spring-Return, suitable for any quarter-turn

application such as ball, plug, buttery valves or dampers, in both ON-OFF and modulating

heavy-duty service. The actuator is made up of a rack and pinion mechanism, which

transforms the linear movement of the pneumatic cylinder, (on closing or opening), into

the rotary movement for the valve operation. An adjustable bronze sliding block supports

the transverse force exerted on the rack by its engagement with the pinion. The rack is

nitride for ensures the minimal friction. External travel stops allow precise angular stroke

adjustment between 80° and 100°. Totally enclosed, weatherproof housing, made of

nodular cast iron for maximum strength and suitable for use in hostile environments.

The mounting ange is identical on both (upper and lower) faces of the housing; the shaft

output drives have the same dimensions but is positioned at 90°. This allows the actuator

to be used as spring to close or spring to open without modication.

The actuator is assembled onto the valve by connecting the actuator housing ange to the

valve ange by a spool piece and the actuator shaft to the valve stem by a stem extension.

Actuator manual emergency operation in opposition to the spring action, is performed by

rotating the jackscrew by a wrench or by a handwheel (available on request).

4General Warnings

Section 1: General Warnings

The mounting ange, on the housing top, can be utilized for the assembly of limit switches,

position transmitter, positioner etc., which are actuated by the actuator output shaft.The

actuator housing is provided, on the front face and in the back face (optional), with threaded

holes for the assembly of accessories (control panels, air storage tank, etc.).

The expected lifetime of actuator is approximately 25 years.

Section 2: Installation

2.2 Actuator Handling

NOTICE

The lifting and handling should be made by qualied staff and in compliance with the laws

and provisions in force.

! WARNING

The fastening points are appropriate for the lifting of the actuator alone and not for the

valve + actuator assembly. Avoid that during the handling, the actuator passes above the

staff. The actuator should be handled with appropriate lifting means. The weight of the

actuator is reported on the delivery bill.

Section 2: Installation

2.1 Checks Upon Actuator Receipt

• Check that the model, the serial number of the actuator and the technical data

reported on the identication plate correspond with those of order conrmation,

see Section 1.2.

• Check that the actuator is equipped with the ttings as provided for by

order conrmation.

• Check that the actuator was not damaged during transportation: if necessary

renovate the painting according to the specication reported on the order

conrmation.

• If the actuator is received already assembled with the valve, its settings have

already been made at the factory.

• If the actuator is delivered separately from the valve, it is necessary to check,

and if required, to adjust, the settings of the mechanical stops, refer to Section 3.4

and of micro-switches (if any) refer to Section 3.5.

6Installation

Section 2: Installation

For a correct lifting procedure, please refer to following Figure.

Figure 3

1 and 2 = Lifting eyelets

2.3 Storage

If the actuator needs storage, before installation follow these steps:

• Place it on a wood surface in order not to deteriorate the area of valve coupling.

• Make sure that plastic plugs are present on the hydraulic and electrical

connections (if present).

• Check that the protection of the control system and of the limit switch box (if any)

are properly closed.

If the storage is long-term or outdoor:

• Keep the actuator protected from direct weather conditions.

• Replace plastic plugs of hydraulic and electrical connections (if any) with metal

plugs that guarantee perfect tightness.

• Coat with oil, grease or protection disc, the valve coupling area.

• Periodically operate the actuator, refer toSection 3.3.
