The positioner Type 8696
is designed to be mounted on pneumatic actuators of process valves for the control of
media.
5.2.
Function of the positioner and combination with
valve types
Positioner Type 8696 is an electropneumatic position controller for pneumatically actuated control valves with
single-acting actuators.
Together with the pneumatic actuator, the positioner forms a functional unit.
The control valve systems can be used for a wide range of control tasks in fluid technology and, depending on the
application conditions, different process valves from the Bürkert range can be combined with the positioner. Angle
seat valves, straight seat valves or diaphragm valves of the Type 2300, 2301 or 2103 with an actuator size of 50
mm are suitable.
“Figure 1” shows an overview of the possible combinations of positioner and different pneumatically actuated valves.
Different valve orifices, not illustrated here, are available for each type. More precise specifications can be found on
the respective data sheets. The product range is being continuously expanded.
