Product Short Description
Product Name: Yokogawa AFV30D-S41252 Pneumatic Control Valve Actuator
Product Introduction: The AFV30D-S41252 is a piston-type pneumatic actuator manufactured by Yokogawa Electric Corporation. It is designed for high-torque rotary valve applications (quarter-turn) requiring more force than diaphragm actuators can provide. Suffix breakdown: AFV30D = piston actuator series, S = spring-return, 41 = I/P converter, 252 = high-torque variant (250 Nm) with specific spring range.
Description
Technical Specifications:
- Type: Piston pneumatic actuator (rotary, quarter-turn)
- Action: Spring-return (fail-safe)
- Supply Pressure: 1.4 – 7.0 bar (20 – 100 psi)
- Output Torque: 250 Nm — “25” in model number indicates torque class
- Stroke: 90° (quarter-turn)
- Input Signal: 4–20 mA (via I/P converter) or 20–100 kPa pneumatic
- Ambient Temperature: -20°C to +80°C
- Protection Rating: IP66 / IP67 (NEMA 4X)
- Enclosure: Cast aluminum alloy, epoxy-coated
- Standards: IEC 60534, SIL 2 capable (IEC 61508/61511)
Functional Features:
- Built-in I/P converter (4–20 mA → 20–100 kPa)
- Visual position indicator (0–90°)
- High-torque output for large valves (up to DN200+)
- Lock-up valve for emergency shutdown
- Optional position transmitter (4–20 mA feedback)
Performance Parameters:
- Stroke Time: 5 – 30 seconds (adjustable)
- Air Consumption: <15 Nl/cycle
- Hysteresis: <0.8% of stroke
- Dead Band: <0.3% of stroke
- MTBF: >120,000 hours
Material Composition:
- Housing: Cast aluminum alloy, epoxy-coated
- Piston Seal: PTFE + NBR composite
- Springs: Stainless steel 316
- Shaft: Stainless steel 316
- Fasteners: Stainless steel 316
Structural Features: Direct mount to valve per ISO 5211. Larger and heavier than AFV10D due to piston mechanism. Weight approximately 25–35 kg.
Working Principle: The 4–20 mA signal drives the built-in I/P converter, producing a proportional air pressure that acts on a piston. The piston converts linear force into rotary motion via a rack-and-pinion or scotch-yoke mechanism. The spring provides the fail-safe return. Piston design delivers significantly higher torque than diaphragm types, enabling control of large-bore valves.
Key Advantages: 250 Nm torque handles large valves (DN100–DN300). Built-in I/P converter. SIL 2 certified. Piston design provides higher torque and longer life than diaphragm actuators.
Applicable Industries: Oil & gas (pipeline, refinery), power generation (main steam, feedwater), chemical (large-bore control), LNG.
Model Series: Yokogawa AFV30D Piston Actuator Series
Installation Requirements: Mount per ISO 5211. Ensure valve stem can handle 250 Nm torque. Supply air: clean, dry, oil-free. Install lock-up valve for safety-critical applications.
Usage Precautions: Do not exceed 7 bar supply pressure. Verify torque rating exceeds valve stem torque requirement by at least 20%. Perform annual inspection of piston seals and springs.
