Description
The 657 actuator (figure 1) is a direct‐acting, spring‐opposed diaphragm actuator used for automatic operation of
control valves. The actuator positions the valve plug in response to varying pneumatic loading pressure on the
diaphragm. Figure 2 shows the operation of these actuators.
A 657 actuator can be furnished with either a top‐mounted or side‐mounted (size 80 only) handwheel assembly. A
top‐mounted handwheel assembly is normally used as an adjustable‐up travel stop. The size 100 top‐mounted
