How to Adjust the Stroke Accuracy of a 90-Degree Pneumatic Actuator

To ensure precise 90-degree rotation and proper valve positioning, follow these adjustment steps:

1. Check Air Supply & Pressure

Ensure stable air pressure (typically 4–6 bar) with a regulator.

Verify clean, dry air to prevent sluggish movement.

2. Mechanical Stopper Adjustment

Most actuators have adjustable end stops (mechanical screws or cams).

Loosen the locknut and adjust the stopper to fine-tune the open/close positions.

Tighten securely after adjustment to prevent drift.

3. Limit Switch Calibration (if equipped)

For actuators with electro-pneumatic controls, adjust the limit switches to signal correct open/close positions.

Use a multimeter or PLC feedback to verify signaling accuracy.

4. Lubrication & Friction Check

Ensure all moving parts (piston, bearings, O-rings) are properly lubricated.

Remove any obstructions causing binding or misalignment.

5. Test & Fine-Tuning

Cycle the actuator multiple times while monitoring rotation.

If over- or under-rotation occurs, readjust the stoppers or air pressure.

Proper adjustment ensures reliable sealing and extends actuator life. For critical applications, consider digital positioners for enhanced precision.
