Maximum Pressure Limitations
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or parts damage, do not exceed the Maximum Pressures listed in table 2. Exceeding any of the
maximum pressures can result in uncontrolled movement of parts, damage to actuator parts and the control valve, and
loss of control of the process. Use pressure‐limiting or pressure‐relieving devices to prevent casing pressure from
exceeding these limits.
The casing and diaphragm of 667 actuators are pressure operated. This air pressure provides force to compress the
spring and stroke the actuator. The following explanations describe the maximum pressure limits for 667 actuators.
Refer to the nameplate, warning tag, and table 2 for maximum values.
D Maximum Casing Pressure for Actuator Sizing: This is the maximum pressure that can be applied to provide full
travel of the actuator. If this stroking pressure is exceeded before the upper diaphragm plate contacts the travel
stop, damage to the stem or other parts might result. The Maximum Diaphragm Casing Pressure for a specific
actuator construction may be less than the Maximum Casing Pressure for Actuator Sizing. See table 2.
D Maximum Excess Diaphragm Pressure: This is the additional pressure that may be added when the actuator is at full
travel. If the Maximum Excess Diaphragm Pressure is exceeded once the actuator has reached full travel, damage to
the diaphragm or diaphragm casing might result.
