Fisherr 685SE and 685SR Piston Actuators
The685SEand685SRaremediumtolarge
spring-return, double-acting piston actuators that
provide accurate, high thrust output for short to long
travel applications. These actuators are designed for
use with a variety of medium to large Fisher
slidingstem control valves including the easye™, FB,
TBX,CVX, HP, EH, and 461.
These actuators feature an internal bias spring that
forces the actuator piston rod to extend (685SE) or
retract (685SR) upon a loss of supply pressure, thereby
ensuring a fail-closed or fail-open mode of operation.
This effectively eliminates the need for a trip valve and
volume tank in most constructions.
Several configurations are available to cover a wide
range of application requirements. Typical travels
range from 25 to 610 mm (1 to 24 inches) and cylinder
diameters range from 254 to 711 mm (10 to 28
inches).
The 685SE and 685SR can be used with the FIELDVUE™
DVC6200 digital valve controller for throttling
applications, or with switching valves for onoff
control. This actuator can also be fitted with volume
boosters for fast stroking requirements.
Features
High Thrust Capability — Maximum thrusts of up to
354 kN (79,000 lbf) can be produced, when supply
pressure is available.
Broad Application Coverage — Standard
constructions offer travels of up to 610 mm (24
inches) and cylinder diameters of up to 711 mm
(28 inches). Even larger constructions are available
upon request.
Low Friction — Low friction piston seals and either
chrome plated or fluoropolymer coated cylinder
bores reduce sliding friction and wear.
X0993
Double Acting Construction — Pressure on both
sides of the piston results in stiff, precise
positioning.
Wide Temperature Range — Standard constructions
offer a temperature range of -40 to 93_C(-40to
200_F), however higher or lower temperatures are
possible. Special constructions can operate as low
as -54_C(65_F)andashighas204_C(400_F).
Mechanical Fail Mode — Depending on construction,
an internal bias spring will force the piston rod to
retract or extend upon a loss of supply pressure.
Manual Override — An optional side-mounted
handwheel or hydraulic hand-pump is capable of
extending or retracting the actuator manually and
can be engaged at any position from full open to full
closed.
