Introduction

Scope of Manual

This instruction manual provides information on installation, maintenance, and parts ordering for the Fisher 585C

piston actuators. Refer to separate instruction manuals for information about other equipment and accessories used

with these actuators.

Information for the 585CLS long stroke actuator can be found in the Fisher 585CLS instruction manual

(D103793X012).

Do not install, operate, or maintain a 585C Series actuator without being fully trained and qualified in valve, actuator,

and accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury or property damage, it is important

you have any questions about these instructions, contact your Emerson Process Management sales office before

proceeding.

Description

585C pneumatic piston actuators ( figure 1) provide accurate throttling or on-off control of sliding-stem valves. The

585C actuator uses a double-acting cylinder, which requires air pressure for operation.

Size 25 and 50 actuators are available as a springless construction or with a bias spring. Depending on configuration,

the bias spring will retract or extend the piston rod upon loss of cylinder air pressure. Size 60 through 130 actuators are

available as springless constructions only.

585C actuators are typically supplied with a DVC6200 digital valve controller, or a 3600 P/P or I/P analog positioner.

The 585C actuator is available with a top-mounted or side-mounted manual handwheel, depending on actuator size.

Specifications

Specifications for the 585C piston actuators are given in table 1. Some individual actuators come from the factory with

specifications stamped on a nameplate attached to the yoke.

X–Indicates where the listed supply pressure will exceed the maximum thrust allowable.

1. The maximum design pressure for size 25 through 100 actuators is 10.3 bar (150 psig). The size 68 and 130 actuators are limited to 9.7 and 7.8 bar (140 and 113 psig) respectively.

2. The size 25 and 50 data is for the construction without a bias spring.

3. Minimum operating pressure for sizes 60-130 actuators is 2.4 bar (35 psig).

4. The size 68 actuator with a handwheel is limited to 40000 Newtons (9000 lb) thrust.

Principle of Operation

The585Cpistonactuator(figures2and3)usesapistonthatmovesinsidetheactuatorcylinder.AnO-ring(seefigure

3) provides a seal between the piston and the cylinder.

From an equilibrium state, the actuator reacts to a force unbalance that is created by increasing supply pressure on

onesideofthepiston,anddecreasingitontheother.Thismoves the piston up or down, and results in a repositioning

of the valve plug.

Actuator with Handwheel (figures 2 and 5)

The handwheel version can be used to open or close the valve manually (either during normal operation or in an

emergency), to position the valve at any point in the stroke, or to act as a travel stop.

Size 25 and 50 actuators use an integral top-mounted handwheel. See figure 5.

Size 60 to 130 actuators use a side-mounted handwheel, and come with a spring-loaded ball detent which prevents

vibration from changing the handwheel setting. Handwheels for most types are either 203 mm (8 inches) in diameter

with beveled gears or 432 mm (17 inches) in diameter with worm gears.

585C Actuator

Actuator with Spring Return (figure 3)

585C size 25 & 50 actuators are available with bias springs in two configurations. The 585C actuator, with the bias

spring under the piston, fully retracts the actuator stem upon loss of cylinder pressure. The 585C actuator, with the

bias spring on top of the piston, fully extends the actuator stem upon loss of cylinder pressure. No additional parts are

required to convert from one actuator type to the other.

For more detailed information on the 3610 positioner and DVC6200 digital valve controllers, refer to the Principle of

Operation section in the 3610 and DVC6200 Instruction Manuals.

Installation

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by cylinder fracture as a result of piston impact, install the stem

connector securely before supplying pressure to the positioner. Use only a regulator-controlled air supply to move the

actuator piston so that you can install the stem connector. Do not use the positioner to move the actuator piston before

installing the stem connector.

Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal

injury.

To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by bursting of pressure-retaining parts, be certain the cylinder

pressure or other pressure ratings do not exceed the limits listed in table 1. Use pressure-limiting or pressure-relieving

devices to prevent cylinder pressure or other pressure ratings from exceeding these limits.

Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process

media.

If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance sections in this

instruction manual.

When an actuator and valve are shipped together as a control valve assembly, the actuator is normally mounted on the

valve. Follow the valve instructions when installing the control valve in the pipeline. If the actuator is shipped

separately or if it is necessary to mount the actuator on the valve, perform the Actuator Mounting procedures in this

instruction manual corresponding to your actuator size. For information on mounting valve positioners, refer to the

3610 or DVC6200 instruction manuals for details.

If a 585C actuator is being installed without a positioner, the cylinder loading pressures should be supplied through a

4-way solenoid valve or a switching valve. The bottom side of the piston is pressured through the bottom side of the

mounting flange on the actuator yoke (key 6, figures 4 and 6) for sizes 25 and 50 or the connection at the lower side of

the cylinder (key 1, figure 9 to 12) for sizes 60 to 130. The top side of the piston is pressured through the connection in

the cylinder cover (key 1 for figures 4, 6; and 9 to 12).

The supply pressure medium should be clean, dry filtered air. If the supply source is capable of exceeding the

maximum actuator operating pressure or positioner supply pressure, appropriate steps must be taken during

installation to protect the positioner and all connected equipment against overpressure.

WARNING

Dropping the actuator and any attached accessories and/or valve may cause personal injury and/or equipment damage. For

all mounting procedures use an adequately sized chain, sling, hoist, or crane to handle the actuator and any attached
