BURKERT 773140 Position Feedback Unit for Pneumatic Rotary Actuators

BURKERT 773140 (Type 1061) position feedback unit with electromechanical micro switches and integrated 5/2-way solenoid valve. Features optical position indicator and IP65 protection.

BURKERT 773140 Position Feedback Unit for Pneumatic Rotary Actuators

BURKERT 773140 (Type 1061) is a position feedback unit designed for pneumatic rotary actuators. It combines the functions of a position feedback indicator and a solenoid valve in a single compact box. This specific model features electromechanical feedback via micro switches and an integrated 5/2-way solenoid valve. It is perfectly suited for pneumatic rotary actuators such as Type 2051 and Type 2052. The mounting console with adjustable size enables use with actuators in different sizes, providing reliable on/off position feedback and actuator control.

Assembling ​

Risk of injury

The electric components inside the box carry dangerous voltage. Moreover there is a risk of bruise by some rotating parts. Do not open the housing while operating!

  1. Bring the actuator to a completely “Open” or “Close” position.

  • Closed: Valve is closed, Channel position is abreast the actuators longitudinal axis.
  • Open: Valve is open, Channel position towards actuator axis.
  1. Equate the modules axis with the actuator.
  2. The device must be grounded.
  3. Attach the box with bracket on the actuator or valve and fix it.
  4. Connect the control unit.

System connection with cable gland M20x1.5: Lead the system cable through the cable gland and wire the single conductors on the terminal block. Make sure that there is a sufficient mains lead cleat!

Adjusting Switch-Points ​

Ex factory the modules are adjusted in the following way:

  • Switch-point close: Position Valve/Actuator at 2° to 6°
  • Switch-point open: Position Valve/Actuator at 84° to 88°

If readjustment should be necessary proceed as following:

  1. Untighten cover screws and open the housing.
  2. Position „Closed“: Keep pushing down the lower switch cam (1) and turn it (2) until the micro-switch is activated.
  3. Position „Open“: Keep pushing down the upper switch cam (1) and turn it (2) until the micro-switch is activated.
  4. Close the housing. (Fastening torque of the screws: 1.4 Nm)

Solenoid Valve ​

The limit-switch-box is equipped with an integrated 5/2-way solenoid valve. It is already wired on the terminal block, which means that the supply voltage comes via the system connection.

The pneumatic connection to the solenoid valve is realized by an external connection block. The types of connection are shown in the adjacent drawing.

Maintenance ​

Long time outdoor usage can cause gaskets to become brittle after some time. Safe operation can only be guaranteed with leak-proof boxes. Seals should be checked and, if necessary, exchanged at least after five years. Gaskets may be replaced by qualified personnel only.
