Ключевые технические преимущества
-
Seamless “Declutchable” Engagement: The 1078 features a lever-operated eccentric bearing support on the input shaft. This allows the worm gear to engage with the sector at any point in the valve’s rotation, providing immediate manual control regardless of the current valve position.
-
Simplified Direct Mounting: Designed for efficiency, the 1078 mounts directly to the actuator housing. This eliminates the need for bulky yokes or specialized mounting brackets, resulting in a more compact and stable assembly that is easier to install and maintain.
-
Enhanced Safety Detent Mechanism: To prevent accidental operation, the disengagement lever is secured in both the “engaged” and “disengaged” positions by a robust detent mechanism. This lock must be manually released before the lever can be moved, significantly reducing the risk of inadvertent declutching during active process cycles.
-
Accurate Travel Indication: Unlike some override systems that lose tracking when manual mode is engaged, the 1078 mounts its travel indicator components on a through-shaft. This ensures that accurate valve position feedback is maintained whether the valve is being operated by the power actuator or the manual handwheel.
-
Precision Fit and Alignment: The actuator utilizes a stub shaft that fits into a precision-machined square broach within the manual actuator sector. Integrated spacers secure the shaft in the exact required position, ensuring high-fidelity torque transfer and minimizing mechanical play.
-
Built-in Mechanical Stops: The 1078 includes adjustable travel stops that prevent the valve from being over-rotated during manual operation. This protects the internal valve trim and the power actuator from mechanical damage during emergency overrides.
