1 Note for Users System Design
Holding valve position
KITZ pneumatic actuators do not assure non-leakage. The actuator does not keep
the valve in the predetermined open position for a long time without continuous air
supply. When connecting the actuator to the air tank, it may become impossible to
hold the valve opening position due to leakage from the actuator.Please periodically
perform an inspection to detect leakage from the seal washer, retighten the valve
and check the pressure drop in the air tank when a actuator is connected to the air
tank. If you need to keep the valve in the predetermined position for a long time,
please contact KITZ.
Residual pressure in the cylinder of the spring return type actuator
Output torque of the spring return type actuator indicates the value without internal
air residue remains inside the cylinders. Please design the circuit system to be able
to exhaust the internal pressure from the cylinder during the spring return action. If
internal pressure remains in the cylinder, the output torque will be dropped and the
valve may not be closed.
The actuator may move to the opening direction if pressure is applied to the
both sides of the cylinder port of the double action type actuator. If manual
operation is needed, the circuit system shall be designed to equalize the cylinder
internal pressure and the atmospheric pressure.
DO NOT pressurize the breathing port of the spring return type actuator.
Prevent dust, rainwater or waste from entering into the actuator through the
breathing port.

2. Storage and Handling
DO NOT store actuators in corrosive atmospheres such as sulfur dioxide gas or
chloric gas. Actuators may rust in the corrosive atmospheres.
DO NOT overload actuators and valves, place any object or step on them.
DO NOT remove the dust protectors from the product before installation.
Anti-rust coating is applied the product, but store the product in a cool and dry
place to prevent rusting and malfunction.
When transportation or handling or mounting a actuator-valve unit in size 3 or
above, use a rope or a strap as illustrated in Fig. 1.
Handle the product with extreme care to prevent damage to the solenoid valves,
accessories or copper tubes equipped to the product.

4 Driving Mechanism
4.1 Type B Double-Action Actuator (Single Piston Type Cylinder)
The air pressure supplied into the port〈A〉pushes the piston to the left and energizes its movement to rotate
the scotch-yoke counterclockwise. The scotch-yoke converts linear movement of the piston rod to
counterclockwise rotational movement of the shaft to open or close the valve, following the preset mode.
Reverse supply of the air pressure into the port〈B〉activates the reverse valve operation. Air failure will cause
the valve stay at the position.
4.2 Type BD Double-Action and Double Cylinder Actuator (Double Piston Type Cylinder)
The air pressure supplied into the port〈A〉and〈A〉 pushes the piston to the left and energizes its movement
to rotate the scotch-yoke counterclockwise. The scotch-yoke converts linear movement of the piston rod to
counterclockwise rotational movement of the shaft to open or close the valve, following the preset mode.
Reverse supply of the air pressure into the port〈B〉and〈B〉 activates the reverse valve operation. Air failure
will cause the valve stay at the position.

4.3 Type BS or BSW Spring-Return Actuator
The air pressure supplied into the port〈A〉pushes the piston to the left and energizes its movement to rotate
the scotch-yoke counterclockwise, compressing the spring. The scotch-yoke converts linear movement of the
piston rod to counterclockwise rotational movement of the shaft, to open or close the valve, following the
preset made.
At the moment the air is discharged to the atmosphere through the solenoid valve, the spring force pushes the
piston to the right direction, and the scotch-yoke activates clockwise rotation of the shaft to reversely
operate the valve. Air failure will cause the valve return to the original open or closed position automatically,
following the preset mode, unlike the value driven by Type B actuator.
Type BSW actuator is combination of Type BS actuator and a hand wheel for manual operation, and its driving
mechanism is exactly same as that of Type BS actuator
4.4 Type BS-7 or BSW-7 Spring-Return with Manual Operation Equipment
The air pressure supplied into the port〈A〉and〈A〉pushes the piston to the left and energizes its movement to
rotate the scotch-yoke counterclockwise, compressing the spring. The scotch-yoke converts linear movement
of the piston rod to counterclockwise rotational movement of the shaft, to open or close the valve, following
the preset made.
At the moment the air is discharged to the atmosphere through the solenoid valve, the spring force pushes the
piston to the reverse direction, and the scotch-yoke activates clockwise rotation of the shaft to reversely
operate the valve. Air failure will cause the valve return to the original open or closed position automatically,
following the preset mode, unlike the value driven by Type B actuator.
Type BSW actuator is combination of Type BS actuator and a hand wheel for manual operation, and its driving
mechanism is exactly same as that of Type BS actuator.
