2Design
Quarter turn actuators of the DAPS series are compact in design and have simple
and robust mechanics with little w ear and tear. The design of the product is de-
pendent on the product design and may differ from the representation shown in
Fig. 1 ( Fig. 1).
Through the housing, a shaft is guided outward on both sides. Through this, the
reaction torque is transmitted to a process valve ( Fig. 1, 6 ) and, if applicable,
a limit switch or sensor box ( Fig. 1, 1 ).
The flange to the process valve is normally designed in accordance with ISO 5211
( section 12). Four mounting threads on the top are used for mechanical attach-
ment of a limit switch or sensor box ( Fig. 1, 3 ). The housing side has a hole
pattern for valve attachment in accordance with VDI/VDE 3845 ( NAMU R).
The housing of some quarter turn actuators has, on the process valve port side, a
leakage groove ( Fig. 1, 9 ) through which the leakage of an untight process
valve can escape.
The product is available in various designs. Depending on the version, the DAPS is
designed as a single-acting or double-acting quarter turn actuator. The single-act-
ing design with spring return is av ailable with different spring strengths for various
supply pressures.

3 Function
The piston movement of the DAPS is c onverted to a rotary movement by means of
yoke kinematics (Scotch yoke). These kinematics are only effective within an angle
of approx. 90°.
For double-acting quarter turn actuators:
Pressurising and venting of th e c ylinder chambers
cause the piston in the DAPS to move back and forth.
The
linear motion of the piston is transformed into a swiv-
el motion of the transmission shaft.
Fig. 3
For single-acting quarter turn ac tuators:
Return is through spring force.
Product designs with different spring st r engths are
available ( Fig. 2).
Fig. 4
The screwed-on processing valve absorbs t he reaction torque of the quarter turn
actuator. The torques permitted in accordance with the technical data
( c atalogue www.festo.com/catalogue) apply here.
4 Application
The DAPS quar ter turn actuator is intended to activate right-closing process
valves, such as ball valves and butterfly valves with a rotation angle from 0° (valve
closed) to 90° ( valve open).
It is completely tailored to the requirements of the processing industry and is suit-
able for control of media-flow process valves in fluid engineering systems.
5 Transport and storage
Ensure the following storage conditions: short storage times in cool, dry, shaded
and corrosion-resistant locations.
Warning
Danger of crushing! Danger of shearing!
The DAPS weighs up to about 183 kg, depending on the product version.
Body parts ca n be crushed or cut off if the product falls.
• For product versions weighing more than 12 kg, always use appropriate load-
carrying equipment in order to handle the product sa fely during transport and
assembly.
6 Requirements for product use
Note
Incorrect handling c an result in malfunctions.
• Make sure that all the instructions in this section are always observed. The
product will then function correctly and safely.
• Compare the limit v alues specified in these operating instructions with your
actual application (e.g. pressures, force s, to rques, masses, speeds, temperat-
ures). The product c an be operated in compliance with the relevant safety
guidelines only if the load limits are observed.
• Ensure that all applicable regulations for your location are adhered to, e.g. of
the trade association or national institutions.
