Before You Start

Section 1: Before You Start

This section explains:

• Base safety procedures.

• Where to nd detailed information relating safety.

• Storage guidelines.

Installation, adjustment, putting into service, use, assembly, disassembly and maintenance

of the pneumatic actuator must be performed by qualied personnel.

NOTICE

Failure to follow the above guidelines will void warranty.

WARNING

Actuator must be isolated both pneumatically and electrically before any (dis)assembly starts.

Before mounting or (dis)assembly, the actuator consult the relevant sections of this manual.

1.1 Installation, Operation and Maintenance

Reference Documents

Before you start, read the following documents:

• All Sections in this manual.

• Safety Guide (Document No. DOC.SG.BQ.EN).

Mounted Control modules are shipped with the applicable installation guide:

QC41, QC42 or QC43: Document DOC.IG.BQC41.1.

QC40: Document DOC.IG.BQC40.1.

QC54: Document DOC.IG.BQC54.1.

For Safety Instrumented Systems application, read the following document:

• SIL Safety Manual Bettis Q-Series (Document No. DOC.SILM.BQ.EN).

NOTICE

1.2 Warehouse Storage

• All actuators should be stored in a clean, dry warehouse, free from excessive

vibration and rapid temperature changes.

• All actuators should not be stored directly to the oor surface - it must be placed in

racks/shelves or use a pallet.

1.3 On-Site Storage

• All actuators should be stored in a clean, dry warehouse, free from excessive

vibration and rapid temperature changes.

• Prevent moisture or dirt from entering the actuator. Plug or seal both air

connection ports.

NOTICE

Failure to follow the above guidelines (Warehouse and On Site Storages) will void warranty.

Section 2: Introduction

This section explains:

• How to identify the received product.

• The intended use of the product.

• Construction details.

• Actuator specications.

2.1 Identification

The Bettis Q-Series Rack and Pinion actuators are available as double-acting or spring-

return versions. 9 models are available, ranging from 40 Nm to 1600 Nm (354 to 14161 lbf.

in) nominal torque output.

The Bettis Q-Series package consists of an actuator with a module for control and position

feed back and forms an integrated concept for “On/Off” valve automation.

1. Basic Actuators

The basic actuator supplies the torque, required to open and close valves and is

available in various sizes (rated 47 to 1676Nm at 5.5barg or 413 to 14874 In.lb. at 80pisg).

Double acting and spring return executions are available. The spring return execution can be

equipped with multiple spring sets to cover a pressure range from 2 to 8 barg (30 to 120 psig).

The springs in the spring-return version allow a fail action in case of loss of air supply

pressure (Fail-to-Close or Fail-to-Open). As from size FD150 double-acting versions have

at end caps to reduce actuator length and internal air volume.

The springs in the spring-return version allow a fail action in case of loss of air supply

pressure (Fail-to-Close or Fail-to-Open).

As from size 150 double-acting versions have at end caps to reduce actuator length and

internal air volume.

2. Control Modules

The Control Modules contain, next to the components for feedback switches, also all the

pneumatic control components.

Its compact and robust construction incorporates basic control and feedback functionality

and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

(according ISO 8573-1) is: 7-5-4.

2. In case Q-Series Control Modules are used, the operating media specication as mentioned in

the Installation Guide (shipped with each control module) are applicable.

NOTE:

Use of lters, pressure regulators, lubricator and an oil/water separator mounted in the air

supply line, will allow a smooth and durable operation of the actuator.

For lubricated supply air, it is recommended to use a non-detergent oil without aggressive

additives, VG32, group 2 (ISO 3448).

4.3.2 Ingress Protection (IP) Rating

Bettis Q-Series actuators are IP66 / NEMA4 rated. In case of IP66 or NEMA4 requirements,

take precautions that comply with the IP66 / NEMA4 requirements to prevent moisture or

dust from entering the actuator through the open air exhaust port(s), either directly on the

actuator or at the exhaust ports of the connected solenoid valve.

We recommend to connect tubing to the exhaust(s) and lead this into a dry and dust free

area, or to use check valves in the exhaust.

4.3.3 Control Module Operation

The operating principle, as explained here, is applicable for actuators with assembly code

CW (direct acting).

• The outward stroke will move the valve to the “Open” position.

• The inward stroke will move the valve to the “Closed” position.

• For assembly codes CC, the operating principle is reversed (reverse acting):

4.3.5 Spring-Return Actuators

The operating principle, as explained here, is applicable for actuators with assembly code

CW (direct acting).

• Applying supply pressure to port A will move the pistons outwards to the "Open"

position of the valve.

• Venting the supply pressure from port A will cause the springs to move the pistons

inwards to the "Close" position of the valve.

• For assembly codes CC, the operating principle is reversed (reverse acting):

3. The piston will move outwards to the “Open” position.

4. The Control Module indicates the “Open” position and activates feedback

signal “Open”.
