Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Duty cycle formula | Duty cycle = max "on time" / min "off time" — a 75%-duty-cycle actuator handles more frequent cycling than a 50%-duty-cycle unit rated for the same pattern | Asahi/America — Actuation Basics (Electric & Pneumatic Actuator Engineering Reference) |
| Series 92 switches | 2-SPDT 15A (end of travel) + 2-SPDT 8A (dry aux contacts) | Asahi/America — Actuation Basics (Electric & Pneumatic Actuator Engineering Reference) |
| Gear train | Solid alloy steel, Rockwell Hardened (Series 92/94/10) | Asahi/America — Actuation Basics (Electric & Pneumatic Actuator Engineering Reference) |
Failsafe Battery Back-up option requires constant power to keep the battery pack charged — an easy-to-miss wiring requirement on a remote oilfield installation where power isn't always continuous.
An oilfield valve that has to fail to a safe position on power loss is only as good as whether someone remembered the failsafe battery pack needs constant charging power in the first place — that's the kind of install detail that turns into a field callback if it's missed at spec time.
