Features
Stafford Controls Ltd. is pleased to offer top-of-the-line products in flow control automation. The Stafford Series 20 are
pneumatically operated, quarter turn rotary, dual rack and pinion design actuators. These actuators are built with several of
the latest features that enhance safety and performance. The actuators are manufactured in modern plants equipped with
state-of-the-art machinery and under a robust quality assurance system complying to ISO 9001: 2000. Listed in this catalog
are the features and benefits of Stafford actuators. Also included is the comprehensive technical data, which can be useful
for selecting the correct Stafford actuator.

Two independent external travel stops

permit easy and precise adjustment of +/- 50 in
both directions.

Modular pre-loaded spring cartridges for

safe, efficient use of spring actuator. Also,
facilitate easy field conversion from double
acting to spring return & vice versa. Spring
cartridges have corrosion resistant springs.

Extruded aluminum body, hard anodized

and black dyeing with honed internal surface
for strength and lower coefficient of friction.
This ensures extended service life and low
maintenance down-time. The air passages are
machined internally to avoid external tubing.
The external shape is contoured and rounded
to avoid buildup of contaminants.

Compact modular design with same body

and end caps for double acting and spring
return actuators. Shaft with insert design offers
the most efficient use of inventory.

Dual rack and pinion design for compact

construction, symmetrical mounting position,
fast and efficient operation and offers both
spring- to -open and spring - to - close options.
Reverse rotation can be accomplished in the
field by simply inverting the pistons.

12

14

10

Wide actuator base design option can be

adapted to mount to valve designs requiring
wider than EN ISO 5211 drilling. This feature
coupled with the unique shaft insert design can
be customized to fit your specific requirements.

Top quality bearings and seals for low

friction & high cycle life are permanently factory
lubricated to ensure trouble free, long service
life.

11

Unique position indicator can be

indexed to show alternate position. Top of
actuator shaft has a NAMUR slot to drive all
popular sensors and positioners.

12

The design of the stop adjustment cam

permits the actuator to be locked out in the full
open or full closed position before performing
mechanical maintenance work. A special lock
out enclosure is also available as an option to
prevent unwanted operation.

8 Internal and external stainless steel fasteners

and specially coated springs provide excellent
corrosion resistance in a variety of environments
and applications.

The unique manufacturing techniques of

shaft combine a high strength alloy steel-shaft
with electro-less nickel-plating having
precision-machined gear teeth with precision
drive end.

10

The bottom of the pinion shaft is

available in parallel square, diagonal square,
double "D" and bore with keyway output
configurations to accommodate several valve
mounting options.

13

Standard end caps are rounded with no

crevices to accumulate contamination or
corrosive chemicals. Optional end caps are
available to provide 100% stroke adjustment in
one direction. The external and internal surface
is coated with an epoxy based powder to
provide resistance to atmospheric corrosion
and general resistance to mild chemicals.

14

Manufactured in full compliance with

the latest requirements of EN ISO 5211.
Provisions for mounting solenoid valves and
accessories comply with Namur VDI/VDE
3845.

100% Travel Stops

Safety Lock-out

Stainless Steel Actuators

The stops are located in the end caps and

allow the valve position on the counter
clockwise (CCW) to be set anywhere
between the full-closed and the full-open
position.

The unique travel stop cam has a built in

safety lock out feature that allows for
locking the actuator in either the full-open
or full-closed position prior to performing
maintenance work.

The Stafford series 22 compact Rack and

Pinion St.Steel actuators are used for
corrosive environment with limited torque
range.

Heavy Duty Actuators

Quick Exhaust Valves

Speed Control Valves

The Stafford series 21 Scotch-Yoke mechanism

heavy-duty actuators in both SR and DA type are
available upto 12,000 NM.

The Stafford series 63 QEV's are used for faster

fail position control as in shutdown valves.
Available in various orifice sizes and in
materials: Aluminum/NACE St.Steel.

The Stafford series 64 SCV's are used to

control open/close time of actuator.
Available in various orifice sizes and in
materials: Aluminum/NACE St. Steel.

NAMUR Type Solenoid Valves

The Stafford series 82 solenoids with NAMUR

interface permits its direct mount on actuator.
Unique sealing plate allows for field conversion
for both 3/2 way, 5/2 way design. These valves
can be used with either double acting or spring
return actuators. They are available in weather
proof, ex-proof protection class with different
body materials viz. Aluminum, St.Steel, Brass
with various orifice sizes.

Non-NAMUR Type Solenoid Valves

The Stafford series 82 non-NAMUR solenoids

are mounted on actuator with bracket. They are
used when pilot valves, quick exhaust valves are
in circuit to achieve open/close time
requirements. 3/2,5/2, 5/3 way solenoid
valves are available in weather proof, ex-proof
protection class with different body materials
viz. Aluminum, St.Steel, and Brass with various
orifice sizes.

Pilot Valves

Pneumatic flow diversion device. The

Stafford series 62 pilot valves are used for
faster open/close response. Available in
various orifice sizes and in materials:
Aluminum/NACE St.Steel.

Options, Accessories & Other products

Breather Valves

Air Lock Relays

Air Filter Regulators

The Stafford series 67 Breather valve works with

remote/line mounted solenoid valves to divert
exhaust air from the piston chamber into spring
chamber. This prevents corrosive vapors
present in atmosphere from being sucked into
the spring chamber.

The Stafford series 61 ALR's are used to

keep actuator in stay put condition in the
event of loss of air to actuator. Available in
various orifice sizes and in material:
Aluminum.
