SQM5 Reversing Actuator Application
SQM5… actuators are uniquely suited for both industrial and commercial applications. The high level of accuracy permits precise modulating control of industrial process and process heating applications, often significantly enhancing performance and product quality.
In commercial and industrial burner applications requiring high turndown and reliable ignition, the auxiliary switches can be applied to create separate positions for burner ignition and low fire. In dual fuel applications, additional switches can be used to create separate high fire, low fire and ignition positions for each fuel. The economy position switch is used to drive the actuator to the full closed position when the burner is off.
In all applications, commissioning is simplified. Shaft and cam drum disengagement clutches allow for the quick manual alignment of the actuator shaft and switch cams. The forward/reverse toggle switch in combination with the auto/manual selector switch provides direct manual control.
Precautions for using SQM5 Reversing Actuator
SQM5 Reversing Actuator is a reversible actuator. The following are the precautions when using it:
Installation and connection:
Correct installation: The SQM5 actuator can be installed in any position. It can be installed through the four 1/4″-20 unC screw holes at the bottom corner of the actuator base, or by using the optional base mounting bracket.
Avoid impact: Do not subject the motor to impact, such as rough hammering or dropping, as it may cause failure.
Prevent foreign objects from entering: Do not allow metal shavings, metal wire ends, oil stains, dust, water or other foreign objects to enter the actuator or the control cabinet where the actuator is installed.
Ensure a stable connection: When installing the connecting rod, make sure all fasteners (such as fixing screws, bolts, etc.) are firmly tightened.
Operation and Debugging:
Manual/automatic switching: Verify whether the manual/automatic selection switch is in the manual position. If the drive unit is not in the minimum signal (4ma) position, press the silver shaft release button, manually rotate the actuator shaft and connecting rod to the minimum position, and then release the button to engage the shaft again.
CAM roller adjustment: Ensure that the “0” mark on the CAM roller position scale (the left side scale of the CAM roller) is aligned with the gray actuator position indicator pointer. If not aligned, press the release button of the CAM roller and rotate the CAM roller until it is aligned.
Electrical safety: All operations (assembly, installation, maintenance and repair, etc.) must be carried out by qualified professionals. Before starting all work within the connection range, disconnect all electrodes of the equipment power supply to ensure that the equipment does not restart and is not electrified. There is a risk of electric shock when the equipment is not disconnected.
Operating environment
Temperature range: The operating temperature range is generally from -20 ℃ to + 60℃, and condensation, icing and water erosion must not occur.
Environmental conditions: This actuator is not explosion-proof. Do not use it in flammable and explosive environments or in corrosive gases.
Other precautions
Equipment damage: If the equipment drops to the ground or is hit, it must not be used any longer, as even if there is no obvious damage on the surface, it may still affect its performance.
Wiring inspection: After each operation (assembly, installation, maintenance, etc.), check whether the wiring status complies with the regulations.
Conclusion
SQM5 Reversing Actuator is a compact, efficient and reliable hydraulic rack and pinion actuator used for precisely controlling the 90-degree opening and closing actions of valves. It is an indispensable basic component in industrial process automation, and has proven its value in numerous demanding applications with its robust design and outstanding performance.
