Resolution: Infinite
Signal Input: 10 VDC typical
Input Impedance Required: 100 Kohm

FS mechanical rotation)

Temperature Coefficient: ± 600 ppm/°C
Electrical Rotation: 340° ±4°
General Specifications
Rotary action of the Pneu-Turn rotary actuator is
achieved through the use of a rack and pinion as-
sembly. Just as with any hydraulic or pneumatic
cylinder, the speed of rotation may be controlled
through the use of flow controls. The PTF may also
be controlled with Bimba's Pneumatic Control Sys-
tem, Model PCS.
Care should be taken to insure that the inertial force
does not exceed the published torque capacity.
Port Positioning
Ports on the PTF may be repositioned to accommo-
date any air line configuration by loosening the three
body retainer screws. Once desired port positions
are obtained, screws must be tightened to specified
torque values in the table below.
Lubrication
The PTF is prelubricated at the factory for extensive,
maintenance free operation. The life of the rotary
actuator can be lengthened by providing additional
lubrication with an air line mist lubricator or direct
introduction of the oil to the actuator every 500
hours of operation. Recommended oils for Buna N
seals are medium to heavy inhibited hydraulic or
general purpose oil.
The rack and pinion gear and ball bearings are pre-
lubricated at the factory for extensive maintenance
free operation. If additional lubrication is required,
use a high grade bearing grease.
Woodruff Key Location
The standard position of the woodruff key is 12
o'clock at the center of rotation.
Ratings
Pressure Rating: 150 psi air or oil with S Option
Rotation Tolerance:
1-1/16" - 2" bore is -0° to +10 °. The Angle Adjust-
ment Option allows 45° of adjustability. If cushions
are ordered in conjunction with the angle adjust-
ment option, adjustability will be 10°.
Temperature Range: Standard Seals: -20° to
200° F; V Option High Temp seals: 0° to 250°.
Note: If used for positioning applications, it is
recommended to use low temperature lubricant for
temperatures less than 35°F.
Backlash: Both single and double rack models
have zero mid-rotational and end of rotation back-
lash.
Breakaway: Less than 3 psi.
