0.3 Electric
actuators
are electrically
powered
devices
which
are
operated by some form of electrical
control
system and are used to
position control elements, such as slide valves, control
valves, butterfly
valves, louvers, dampers, etc.
0.4 Depending
on the operating
principles,
electric
actuators
are
classified as: (a) electric solenoid
operated
types, and (b) electric motor
operated types.
Solenoid operated actuators provide only two position

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers
the requirements
of electric
motor operated
actuators which are used in conjunction
with open loop and closed loop
control
for operating
the final control
elements of industrial
process
control system.
1.2 This
standard does not cover solenoid
operated
actuators
which
provide only two position control, and is covered by IS : 8935-1985*.
2. TYPES
2.1 Type 1 Multi-Turn
Valve Actuators
- For the multi-turn valve
actuators,
a wide variety in output shaft speed is realized
by selecting
motors with different rotational speeds and a variable
reduction
in spur
and worm-gears.
The multi-turn
valve
actuators
are employed
both
for open loop control and closed loop control.

2.5 Type 3 Multi-Turn
Valve
Actuators
with Linear Output These are constructed
by assembling
a multi-turn

and a linear stage with driving rod.
The latter is

These are used for applications
which require
