BRAY Series 70 Metric Electric Actuator
Operation and Maintenance Manual
3
INTRODUCTION
The Bray Series 70 is a quarter turn electric actuator
with manual override for use on any quarter turn valve
requiring up to 2034 Nm of torque. Operating speeds
vary between 6 to 110 seconds.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Series 70 actuator is divided into two internal
sections; the power center below the switchplate, and
the control center above the switchplate. Below the
switchplate the capacitor and gearmotor with its spur
geartrain drive a non-backdriveable worm gear output. The
override mechanism for manual operation is also housed
here. Above the switchplate is where user required,
readily accessible components are placed. The camshaft
assembly, limit switches, terminal strips, torque switches,
heater, and servo are all placed here for easy access.
External to the unit are adjustable mechanical travel
stops, a large easy to read indicator, the unique manual
override handwheel and dual conduit entry ports. The
external coating is a high quality polyester powder coat
which has exceptional UV as well as chemical resistance.
ELECTRICAL OPERATION
The motors used in the Bray Series 70 are either
permanent induction split capacitor design (single
phase AC power), SCI (Three Phase AC Power) or PM
(DC Power). Travel limit switches are mechanical form
(SPDT) with contacts rated at 10 amp (0.8 PF), 1/2 HP
125/250 VAC. In cases where the torque capacity of the
unit is exceeded to the point where the motor stalls and
overheats, a thermal protector switch built into the motor
windings will automatically disconnect the motor power.
Once the motor cools sufficiently the thermal protector
switch will reset. Optional torque switches are available
in all units to prevent the possibility of stalling the motor,
thus reducing the necessity for an inoperable thermal
cooldown period. Torque switches installed by Bray are
factory adjusted to the output torque rating of the unit
using electronic torque testing equipment.
NOTICE
Torque switches are not eld adjustable. Adjustment of torque
switches in the eld will void warranty.

MECHANICAL OPERATION
Mechanically, the ratio of the gearmotor determines the
speed of the unit. The gearmotor utilizes high efficiency
spur gears with various ratios for the different speeds.
Initial gear reduction through the spur gears is then
transferred to the worm shaft. The final gear reduction
and output is through a non-backdriveable worm gear
set. Positioning is determined by an indicator-cam shaft
linked to the output shaft. In the declutchable condition
the manual override drives the worm shaft when engaged.
