Cylinder Valve Actuators

General Information

These actuators are designed solely to compliment the D10963 1/2" CO2 cylinder valve. DAB accept no responsibility if these actuators are used to operate other makes of cylinder valve.

Part No Actuator Description of Operation
D10964 Manual and Pressure Actuator Manual & Pressure Actuator

This actuator is designed to be operated both manually and pneumatically. When operated manually, a safety clip has to be removed before the lever can be operated. When operated pneumatically, a pressure of at least 450 PSI (31 Bar) must be available to ensure correct actuation of the CO2 valve. Actuation ports are machined in both sides of the body to enable several actuators to be ‘daisy chained’. Once operated, a detent device ensures that the actuator remains in the fully open position. To reset the actuator, simply reset the lever to the closed position replace the safety clip and gently pull out the reset knob on the detent.
D10978 Single Slave Actuator

Single Slave
Actuator

This actuator is designed to be fired pneumatically only. When operated a pressure of at least 450 PSI (31 Bar) must be available to ensure correct actuation of the CO2 valve.
D10980 Metron Actuator

Metron Actuator

This actuator is designed to be fired electrically using a Metron Protractor device. When current is applied, the stem is protracted down thereby triggering the actuator. Once operated, a detent device ensures that the actuator remains in the fully open position. To reset the actuator, simply replace the Metron Protractor with a new unit and gently pull out the reset knob on the detent.
D10980/20 Metron Actuator - Conduit Thread

Metron Actuator
with Conduit Thread

This actuator is designed to be fired electrically using a Metron Protractor device. In addition to the D10980 a 20mm thread is machined onto the top of the body to enable connection to any standard electrical conduit. When current is applied, the stem is protracted down thereby triggering the actuator. Once operated, a detent device ensures that the actuator remains in the fully open position. To reset the actuator, simply replace the Metron Protractor with a new unit and gently pull out the reset knob on the detent.
D11003 Double Slave Actuator

Double Slave
Actuator

This actuator is designed to be fired pneumatically only.When operated a pressure of at least 450 PSI (31 Bar) must be available to ensure correct actuation of the CO2 valve. Actuation ports are machined in both sides of the body to enable several actuators to be ‘daisy chained’. Once operated, a detent device ensures that the actuator remains in the fully open position. To reset the actuator, gently pull out the reset knob on the detent.
D11023

Double Slave
Metron Actuator

 This actuator is designed to be fired pneumatically or electrically using a Metron Protractor. When pressure operated a pressure of at least 450 PSI (31 Bar) must be available to ensure correct actuation of the CO2 valve. Actuation ports are machined in both sides of the body to enable several actuators to be ‘daisy chained’. When fired electrically the stem is protracted down thereby triggering the actuator. Once operated either pneumatically or electrically , a detent device ensures that the actuator remains in the fully open position. To reset the actuator, gently pull out the reset knob on the detent. If fired electrically a new Metron Protractor will be required before the actuator can be reused.
D11039 Manual Handwheel Actuator

Manual Handwheel Actuator

 This actuator is designed for manual actuation of a single CO2 Valve. It can be used for testing & inspection purposes. To operate this actuator, simply turn the hand-wheel clockwise a few turns until the valve opens.

Basic Specifications

Actuator Ports Actuator ports can be supplied with either 1/8” BSPT or 1/8” NPT threads. (NPT Ports are marked ‘N’, BSPT Ports are unmarked)
Metron Protractors

Metron protractors are not supplied with any of our Metron actuators.

DAB recommend only the following Metron protractors:

Leafield Engineering Co. Ltd. - Part No. C89-151-10A

Nobel Explosive Co. Ltd. - Part No. ICI-2014

Please refer to instructions supplied with the Metron for specifications.

NOTE: Metron Protractors are ‘one shot’ actuation devices and should be replaced immediately after use.
Pneumatic Actuators A pressure of at least 450 PSI (31 Bar) should be available for actuation of pneumatic actuators, If actuators are ‘daisy chained’ a minimum pressure of 450 PSI (31 Bar) must be available at the last actuator in the chain.
