The UP6 pneumatic rotary actuator is a double-acting piston unit with a motion conversion mechanism for rotary output, used to position dampers and valves. It provides up to 6372 N·m (4700 lb·ft) torque at 690 kPa (100 psig) air supply, with a 90° stroke and 20,565 cm³ (1255 in³) cylinder displacement. The actuator has a 1/2 - 14 NPT female air supply connection, supports 4-20 mA control signals with EDP300 or TZIDC digital positioners (fail-safe or fail-in-place), and features an optional IP66 (NEMA 4X) enclosure. Operating ambient temperature is up to 85 °C (185 °F). Manual control is via a gear-type lever with self-locking ratchet. Shipping weight is 369 kg (814 lb) with a positioner. Materials include carbon steel frame, aluminum end flanges, and nitrile rubber seals.
The control signals provide modulating or on/off control power to position devices through mechanical linkage or by direct coupling.
Types UP1 and UP2 actuators include a double-acting rotary vane power unit. Types UP3, UP4, UP5, UP6 and UP7 actuators include a double-acting cylinder with a motion conversion mechanism to convert linear to rotary motion.
