SERIES RCC SELECTIONTo select the appropriate Series RCC Rotary Actuator, it is

important to consider all factors that influence actuator life. The main factors for selecting the proper RCC Rotary Actuator are: radial bearing capacity, thrust bearing capacity, kinetic energy stopping capabilities, torque requirements, and rotation time. Follow the steps below to select the appropriate RCC actuator.

1) Determine the load information

Depending on the application, this may include the following information: a) Rotation angle and time to achieve full rotation b) Weight of load c) Radius of gyration d) Axis orientation e) Center of gravity (Cg) measured from the hub f) Operating pressure

2) Determine minimum actuator based on radial or axial load

a) Calculate moment created by the radial load. For radial load applications, the allowable load is based on the moment induced by the load. The Cg distance is shown below for a radial load application.

Moment = (Weight of Load) x (Cg Distance)

b) Select the minimum actuator based on the axial load capacity or calculate the moment induced by an unbalanced axial load.

For axial load applications where the load is on the hub centerline, the maximum load is based on the maximum allowable axial load, see the Maximum Bearing Capacity Table for the maximum allowable loads.

For unbalanced axial loads, see the Bearing Capacity Graph for the allowable loads.

For unbalanced axial loads with Cg distance greater than the hub radius, it is best to calculate the moment created by the off-center loads and size the actuator based on the maximum moment capacity.

c) Select the minimum actuator based on the maximum allowable loads by comparing the calculated moment to the values given in the Maximum Bearing Capacity Table and by taking axial load values from the Bearing Capacity Graph.

3) Determine torque requirements

a) Calculate Mass Moment of Inertia (Jm). Select the illustration from the application types on the following page.

b) Determine the required acceleration.

α = .035 x Rotational Angle (deg)/[Rotational Time (sec)]2

c) Calculate required torque. PHD recommends a minimum safety factor (SF) of 2 to account for friction loss, air line and valve size.

For balanced and unbalanced loads rotating without gravity, the following torque formula applies.

T = Jm x α x SF

For unbalanced loads rotating without gravity, see the unbalanced load application types for the appropriate torque formulas.

d) Calculate the Minimum Operating Pressure (see the Minimum Operating Pressure Table). This step will determine which actuator is capable of providing adequate torque. NOTE: When calculating minimum operating pressure, any unbalanced axial load with a Cg distance smaller than the hub radius will be treated as an axial load.

Using the theoretical torque values given in the Engineering Data section, select the minimum operating pressure. The moment calculated in 2a/2b and torque from 3c are used in the formulas.

If the calculated pressure is greater than or equal to the actual operating pressure, the next larger actuator should be used to provide adequate torque throughout the life of the actuator.

4) Determine the stopping capacity required for this application

a) Determine the impact velocity

ω (rad/sec) = .035 x

b) Using Jm calculated in step 3a and impact velocity from step 4a, determine the kinetic energy of the system by using the basic KE equation. Or you can select the appropriate actuator from the KE Capacity Chart using the Jm value and the impact velocity.

KE = x Jm x ω2

c) Use the Maximum Allowable Kinetic Energy Table to select appropriate RCC actuator.

RF ROTARY ACTUATORSIZING A SERIES RF UNIT BASED ON TORQUE OUTPUT AND STOPPING CAPACITY

SIZING A number of factors must be considered when selecting a Series RF Rotary Actuator. These include actuator orientation, total load attached and rotational speed. The process of selecting the proper Series RF rotary actuator consists of three main steps:

1) Size the actuator based on the torque requirements 2) Size the actuator based on stopping capacity 3) Size the actuator based on bearing capacityChoose the actuator which meets the requirements of your

application.

STEP 1 Determine Rotational mass moment of Inertia (Jm) Select the illustration from the application types on page

189 that most resembles your specific application. Several separate calculations may be necessary to fully describe your application. Using the appropriate application equation, calculate the mass moment of inertia for the type of condition illustrated. The total mass moment of inertia is the sum of the individual calculations.

STEP 2 Determine Necessary Acceleration (αA) This equation calculates the acceleration necessary to move

through the required angle of rotation in the specified time. The results are given in radians/sec2.

STEP 3 Calculate the Required Starting Torque (TA) Select the illustration from the application types on page

189 that most resembles your specific application. Several separate calculations may be necessary to fully describe your

application. Using the appropriate application equation, calculate the torque for each for each type of condition illustrated that matches your application. The total torque will be the sum of the individual calculations. Note: Torque calculations are theoretical, an appropriate safety factor should be considered. PHD recommends a minimum safety factor of 2 to account for friction loss, air line and valve size, and attached accessories.

SIZING A SERIES RF UNIT BASED ON STOPPING CAPACITY

STEP 4 Calculate the Peak Velocity (ω) This formula estimates the peak velocity of the Series RF in operation, and is used to determine the stopping capacity of the rotary actuator. The result is given in radians/sec.

STEP 5 Compare Peak Velocity (ω) to Allowable Impact Compare the peak velocity to the maximum allowable velocity for the given Mass Moment of Inertia (Jm) of your application. The chart is labeled Shock Pad Energy Capacity. The charts represent the total amount of energy that is able to be absorbed and provide acceptable motion of the actuator. Acceptable motion is defined as a maximum of one degree of motion reversal when the load comes to the end of stroke. Note: The unit may be run at slightly higher velocities and loads than these charts indicate without damage; however, the motion profile may be unacceptable. Please contact PHD if the Series RF Rotary Actuator is to be used outside of the recommended energy range. If the shock pad does not provide enough stopping capacity for the application, the next larger size of actuator should be considered.

STEP 5 Compare the Peak Velocity

Compare this value to the Shock Pad Energy Capacity Graph on page 187 and the Maximum Velocity Table on page 186. We see the following:

• The size 14 will not handle the Jm value.

• The size 20 will not attain the cycle time required.

• The size 25 will perform the task in the desired time.

STEP 6 Determine the bearing capabilities of a Size 25 Since we know the axial loading but not the radial loading for this application, we compare it to the Maximum Moment Capacity Graph on page 188. At this loading condition the size 25 has the capability of 1 lb at around 2.75 inches off center. Our application is at 1.125 inches.

Therefore; the RFSx25 is suitable for this application.

STEP 6 Determining the bearing capabilities of a Size 20.

We now check the loading condition against the Maximum Moment Capacity Graph for the size 20 on page 188.

We see that a size 20 can handle approximately 2.5 lbs at .5 inches from center of gravity distance.

Therefore; the RFSx20 is suitable for this application.

3) Determine the stopping capacity of the actuator by using the equation given below.

a) Determine the rotational velocity by using equation A.

To select the appropriate RL rotary actuator, it is crucial to consider several factors including bearing capacity, torque requirements and stopping capacity of the actuator. The bearing capacities are listed on page 193. To determine the required torque to rotate the load in a given time, the rotational mass moments of inertia, gravity, time and acceleration must be taken into account. To stop an actuator, all of the same required information for torque is needed plus kinetic energy. Follow the steps below to select the appropriate RL actuator.

1) Review page 193 to make sure RL rotary actuator bearings can withstand axial and radial bearing loads.

2) Determine the torque requirements of the actuator.

a) Determine Mass Moment of Inertia. Select the illustration from the application types on the following page that most resembles your specific application. Several separate calculations may be necessary to fully describe your application. Using the appropriate application equation, calculate the mass moment of inertia for each type of illustration. The total mass moment of inertia will be the sum of the individual calculations.

b) Determine the necessary acceleration.

c) Calculate the required torque. Select the illustration from the application types on

the following page that most resembles your specific application. Several separate calculations may be necessary to fully describe your application. Using the appropriate application equation, calculate the mass moment of inertia for each type of illustration. The total torque will be the sum of the individual calculations.

Note: Torque calculations are theoretical, an appropriate safety factor should be considered. PHD recommends a minimum safety factor of 2 to account for friction loss, airline and valve size, and attached accessories.

To select the appropriate RA rotary actuator, it is crucial to consider several factors including bearing capacity, torque requirements and stopping capacity of the actuator. The bearing capacities are listed on page 198. To determine the required torque to rotate the load in a given time, the rotational mass moments of inertia, gravity, time and acceleration must be taken into account. To stop an actuator, all of the same required information for torque is needed plus kinetic energy. Follow the steps below to select the appropriate RA actuator.

1) Review page 198 to make sure RA rotary actuator bearings can withstand axial and radial bearing loads.

2) Determine the torque requirements of the actuator.

a) Determine Mass Moment of Inertia. Select the illustration from the application types on the following page that most resembles your specific application. Several separate calculations may be necessary to fully describe your application. Using the appropriate application equation, calculate the mass moment of inertia for each type of illustration. The total mass moment of inertia will be the sum of the individual calculations.

b) Determine the necessary acceleration.

c) Calculate the required torque. Select the illustration from the application types on

the following page that most resembles your specific application. Several separate calculations may be necessary to fully describe your application. Using the appropriate application equation, calculate the mass moment of inertia for each type of illustration. The total torque will be the sum of the individual calculations.

Note: Torque calculations are theoretical, an appropriate safety factor should be considered. PHD recommends a minimum safety factor of 2 to account for friction loss, airline and valve size, and attached accessories.

SIZING AN RI UNIT WITH ANGLE ADJUSTmENTS

STEP 1 Determine Rotational mass moment of Inertia (Jm) Select the illustration from the application types on page

207 that most resembles your specific application. Several separate calculations may be necessary to fully describe your application. Using the appropriate application equation, calculate the mass moment of inertia for the type of condition illustrated. The total mass moment of inertia is the sum of the individual calculations.

STEP 2 Determine Necessary Acceleration (αs) This equation calculates the acceleration required to move the

desired rotation in the desired time. The solution is given in radians/sec2.

STEP 3 Calculate the Required Starting Torque (TA) Select the illustration from the application types on page

207 that most resembles your specific application. Several separate calculations may be necessary to fully describe your application. Using the appropriate application equation, calculate the torque for each for each type of condition illustrated that matches your application. The total torque will be the sum of the individual calculations. Note: Torque calculations are theoretical, an appropriate safety factor should be considered. PHD recommends a minimum safety factor of 2 to account for friction loss, airline and valve size, and attached accessories.

STEP 4 Calculate the Peak Velocity (ω) This formula estimates the peak velocity of the Series RIx in

operation, and is used to determine the stopping capacity of the rotary actuator. The solution is given in radians/sec.

STEP 5 Compare Peak Velocity (ω) to Allowable Impact Compare your peak velocity to the maximum allowable

velocity for the given Mass Moment of Inertia (Jm) of your application. The chart is labeled Shock Pad Energy Capacity. The charts represent the total amount of energy that is able to be absorbed and provide acceptable motion of the actuator. Acceptable motion is defined as a maximum of one degree of motion reversal when the load comes to end of stroke. Note: You may run slightly higher velocities and loads than these charts provide and not damage the unit; however, you may find the motion profile unacceptable. Please contact PHD if you are considering using the Series RIx actuator outside of the recommended energy range and shock absorbers are not a desired option. If the shock pad does not provide enough stopping capacity for your application, go to the next sizing section titled “Sizing a RIx Unit with Shocks.”

SIZING AN RI UNIT WITH SHOCKSSTEP 6 Compare Peak Velocity (ω) to Allowable Impact Compare your peak velocity to the maximum allowable

velocity for the given Mass Moment of Inertia (Jm) of your application. The chart is labeled Shock Energy Capacity. The charts represent the total amount of energy that is able to be absorbed and provide acceptable motion of the actuator. Acceptable motion is defined as a maximum of one degree of motion reversal when the load comes to end of stroke. Note: You may run slightly higher velocities and loads than these charts provide and not damage the unit; however, you may find the motion profile unacceptable. Please contact PHD if you are considering using the Series RIxxx actuator outside of the recommended energy and load range.

STEP 7 Calculate the Kinetic Energy (Ke) This formula calculates the kinetic energy of your application.

This value will be used to calculate the actual total energy to be compared to the maximum allowable total energy.

STEP 8 Calculate the Propelling Energy (Pe) These formulas calculate the additional amount of energy that

the shock will experience due to the piston force of the actuator.

STEP 9 Calculate the Total Energy (Et) This formula sums all of the energies that the shock

will experience.

STEP 10 Compare the Total Energy (Et) to the maximum Total Energy

(Em) and also Acceptable motion (Ea) If Acceptable Motion is desired as defined in STEP 6, the total

energy should be less than both of the charted values given below. If some additional bounce is acceptable, (Et) can be up to the same value as (Em). If not, go to a larger actuator or contact PHD for application assistance.

STEP 11 Calculate Energy per Hour (Eh) Compare your applications energy per hour requirement

against the charted maximum.

DETERmINING ALLOWABLE ATTACHED LOAD WEIGHT Following are the steps required to determine the allowable

attached load weight on the Series RIx rotary actuator. You will need to know the weight of the attached load, the orientation of the rotary, and the center of gravity distance of the load from the hub face. Please refer to the supplied formulas to determine each of the allowable conditions.

STEP 12 Determine Allowable Attached Load Weight (Lf) The next step in determining the proper Series RIx actuator

size is to determine the bearing capacity of the unit according to your application requirements.

STEP 13 Calculate maximum Actuator Radial Loading (Lm) This formula calculates the maximum radial loading allowed

for the Series RI actuator based on 5,000,000 cycles and the axial load (La) that you are placing on the bearings. Note: Center of Gravity distance is different depending on if the unit is horizontal or vertical. In horizontal applications, (Cg) is the distance from the mounting face of the hub to the (Cg) of the load. In vertical applications, (Cg) is the distance from the centerline of the hub to (Cg) of the load.

STEP 15 Calculate the Deceleration (αd) This formula calculates the deceleration of the unit based on

the peak velocity of the individual actuator. The solution is given in radians/sec2

STEP 16 Calculate Stopping Torque (Td) This is the stopping torque energy used to stop a rotary load

to your application conditions. This formula is one of the components required when comparing reaction forces on the bearing. Using the identical illustrations and formulas on pages 204 and 207 used when calculating the required starting torque, replace the acceleration value with the deceleration value. This is the reaction torque required to stop the load. PHD recommends a safety factor of 1 to 1.25.

STEP 17 Calculate Radial Bearing Load At Stopping (LS) This formula converts the sum torque’s of the propelling torque

and stopping torque into the reaction force on the two bearings.

STEP 18 Calculate max. Fixed Radial Load (Lf) This formula will produce the maximum radial load weight that

can be safely attached to the rotary actuator, given the axial load weight and (Cg) distance of your application.

STEP 19 Compare (Lf) to Actual Load Affixed to Actuator (Lr) Compare the (Lf) value to the weight of the attached load. If

the attached load is less than the (Lf) value, the actuator is correct for your application. If the attached load is greater than the (Lf) value, go to the next size actuator and rerun the above calculations until the (Lf) value is greater than the attached load weight.

La = Axial Load Weight (lb)

OPERATING PRINCIPLEThis feature is available on Series 2000, 4000, 6000, and 8000.

One end functions as a control member only, reducing the effective output torque to match 1000, 3000, 5000, and 7000 respectively.

The illustration shows a tandem actuator with built-in Port Controls®, crossover manifold and oil reservoir. The latter serves as an accumulator to compensate for oil volume changes due to temperature variation.

NOTE: The reservoir should have 20 psi [1.4 bar] pressure at all times to ensure the system remains purged.

CAUTION:Rotary actuators require back pressure in opposite ports before rotating from one position to another. Lack of back pressure or governing media causes uncontrolled angular velocity and improper function of cushions and port controls.

Review the following for typical valve sequencing for controlling standard multi-position actuators. (Disregard for tandem units.)

Starting at full CW position (port A pressurized):

3 POSITION UNITS:

• Rotate from CW to CCW (S3 valve is activated). Energize S1 and S2 valves, then de-energize S2 and S3 valves. Unit will rotate to full CCW position.

• Rotate from CCW to CW (S1 valve is activated). Energize S2 and S3 valves, then de-energize S2 and S1 valves. Unit will rotate to full CW position.

• Rotate from CW to mid-position (S3 valve is activated). Energize S1 and S2 valves, then de-energize S1 and S3 valves. Unit will rotate to mid-position.

• Rotate from mid-position to full CCW (S2 valve is activated). Energize S1 and S3 valves, then de-energize S2 and S3. Unit will rotate to full CCW.

4 POSITION UNITS (same as above plus):

• Rotate from CCW to intermediate position II. (S1 valve is activated). Energize S2, S3, and S4 valves, then de-energize S1, S2, and S3. Unit will rotate to intermediate position II.

5 POSITION UNITS (same as above plus):

• Rotate from CCW to intermediate position IV. (S1 valve is activated). Energize S2, S3, and S5 valves, then de-energize S1, S2, and S3. Unit will rotate to intermediate position IV.
