CBA-SERIES PNEUMATIC
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

Mechanical Components
The Bettis CBA-Series pneumatic actuators are
compact, lightweight and ideally suited for automating
ball, butterfly and non-lubricated plug valves, or any
quarter-turn (90 degree) rotating mechanism. These
economical, low maintenance actuators provide a
reliable means of automating your valve. Available
with optional features and controls to meet your most
demanding automation needs. The CBA-Series, available
in double-acting and spring-return models, are independently certified to BS 5490: 1977 - IP66 and IP67M
for water ingress protection.

Operating Ranges
Double-acting CBA-Series actuators are available with
guaranteed minimum torque outputs to 11,515 lb-in
(1,301 Nm).
The CBA-Series spring-return models require pressure
in only one direction of travel and are suitable for fail
clockwise or counterclockwise applications without
modification. These models produce guaranteed spring
ending torques to 4,269 lb-in (482 Nm).
Standard construction CBA-Series actuators are
designed for operating temperatures of -20F to +200F
(-29C to +93C). High temperature trim allows continuous
operation from 0F to +350F (-18C to +177C).
Additionally, special non-PED low temperature trim
allows operation to -40F (-40C). Consult factory when

temperature requirements exceed these limits.

Operating pressures for the CBA-Series range from 40
to 150 PSIG (3 to 10 BAR).

Design Features
Water Ingress Protection The CBAs meet both IP66
and IP67M specifications for submergence and severe
high pressure water deluge test, offering superior water
ingress protection and corrosion resistance. The actuator
has no gaskets and is totally o-ring sealed.
1) New, Outer Lip-Type Torque Shaft Seals restrict
external contaminants, providing a high level of
corrosion and water-resistance.
2) New O-Ring Sealed Cylinders essentially eliminate
the possibility of any cylinder leakage throughout
the full range of operating and climatic conditions.
3) Standard Accessory Mounting Pad The new
accessory mounting pad is standard and identical
on all CBA and CBA-300 Series models, allowing the
panel mounting of controls.
4) Dual Valve Mounting Interface allows the flexibility
to change the actuator fail mode, without disassembly, by simply inverting the actuator. They may be
installed in any position; parallel or at right angles to
the flow line, in the vertical or the horizontal plane.

7) New Piston Heel and Yoke Pin Bearings

The CBA features PTFE/bronze bearings
11
on the actuators piston heel and yoke
pin. These bearings help to assure smooth
and consistent torque output, while
enhancing total cycle life.
8) Ductile Iron Housing CBA actuator
housings are made of pressure vessel quality ductile iron
which is approved for use by ASME and the Pressure
Equipment Directive (PED 97/23/EC). All housings have
been optimized by finite element analysis and are
designed for light weight while retaining maximum
strength, ductility and corrosion resistance.

5) Jackscrew Option A blowout-proof economical

jackscrew manual override is available as an option
to the CBA models (see inset above). The jackscrew
also acts as a stop adjustment screw.
This feature has several advantages:

Produces full rated torque output in the event of air

supply loss.

During normal power operation, the manual override

has no affect on actuator torque output or operating
speed.

Double-acting actuator models are available with one

or two jackscrews.

6) XylanTM Cylinder Coating, the standard internal

coating on all CBA-Series actuators. This fluoropolymer coating is highly resistant to abrasion, thermal
shock and provides excellent lubricity and low friction
properties. Corrosive salts and other chemicals
normally found in the atmosphere or instrument
air supply system will not adversely affect
its performance. XylanTM bonds to the chemically
prepared surface of the steel cylinder so effectively
that, unlike other coatings, cracking and flaking are
virtually eliminated.

9) The Scotch-Yoke Mechanism transforms linear

movement of the piston into a 90 degree rotation,
providing optimum torque curves, ideal for most
quarter-turn valve applications.
10) Center Bar, made of improved high strength alloy
steel, guides the piston throughout its full stroke,
preventing metal to metal contact with
the cylinder bore.
11) Bi-directional Travel Stops are an
integral part of the actuator allowing 80
to 100 total travel adjustment. Extended
travel stops are optional. This feature
provides an unmatched travel range to
assist in prolonging valve seat integrity.
12) SpringsHigh-strength, high-performance
alloy carbon steel springs are protected by Tactyl
50, a pliable self-healing coating. Bettis takes and
additional step and shot peens the springs, helping
to extend the actuators spring cycle life.
13) Yoke Arm Bearing Washer Acetal bearings
positively prevent metal-to-metal contact, helping
to assure smooth and consistent torque output.

SIZING AND SELECTION

General Definitions

Actuator Selection Procedures

To clarify and standardize terminology, Bettis offers the

following definitions for terms commonly used. Please become
familiar with and use the following standard definitions when
referring to Bettis quarter-turn actuators.

A) Determine the type of Bettis actuator required: double-acting

or spring-return.

Quarter-turn: A device which rotates a minimum of 90 degrees.

All Bettis quarter-turn actuators will rotate more than 90 degrees.

C) Using this information, select the applicable torque rating

table and see the appropriate following examples.

Position: That degree of rotation describing an actuators

current location. The mid position of a quarter-turn actuator
is generally at forty-five (45) degrees.

Scotch-Yoke, Double-Acting Actuators (example

assumes CW to close)

CW: Clockwise rotation.

CCW: Counterclockwise rotation.
Stroke: A continuous, ninety (90) degree rotation of a quarter-turn
actuator. Bettis spring-return actuators have two (2) different
strokes, a pressure stroke and a spring stroke. Bettis doubleacting actuators have two (2) pressure strokes. Note that rack
and pinon actuators have common torque valves for both pressure
strokes, while scotch yoke actuators have different torque values
depending on which side of the piston is doing the work.
Cycle: The collective reference to two (2) strokes, one (1) for
clockwise (CW) rotation and one (1) for counterclockwise (CCW)
rotation. Bettis actuators must rotate through two (2) stroke to
complete one (1) cycle.
Safety Factor: Represents a protective component (an adjustment
to torque requirement) sometimes added to a valves required
torque value. Often used when the user/specifier is not certain of
the valves torque requirements, or because of other application
concerns.

Sizing Bettis Actuators

The following information is generally the minimum required
for sizing Bettis quarter-turn pneumatic and hydraulic actuators
for specific valve requirements.
A) An accurate maximum torque requirement must be obtained
before actuator sizing begins. Normal maximum stem torque for
a properly applied and maintained valve is usually defined as:
The maximum starting torque required to rotate the valve element
(ball, disc, plug, etc.) from a fully closed position (unsealing),
against the maximum normal valve rated different pressures.
Most valve manufacturers make adjustments in the form of
torque amendments under various operating conditions.
Application operating conditions such as temperature extremes,
actual differential pressure, unusual loading, high flow rates,
operating speeds, etc. are some of the most common causes
for adjustments.
Bettis recommends that the valve manufacturer supply the
maximum required torque value(s) (including any adjustments or
suggested safety factors). Additionally, the valve manufacturer
must identify at which position(s) and direction(s) of rotation
(CCW or CW) these maximum requirements occur.
B) Bettis actuators include stops which will resist the maximum
rated torque output of the actuator. The possibility exists, that
should the valve become immobilized during rotation, the
actuator could exceed the maximum allowable valve input
torque rating. If this possibility is a concern, your application
needs further review.
Once the maximum torque requirements, its position, and
direction of rotation are identified, the appropriate Bettis actuator
can be selected from torque output charts on pages 47.
4

B) Determine the power supply media: pneumatic or hydraulic,

and the minimum/maximum supply pressure(s) at the actuator.

Note: The valves torque requirements must be exceeded by

the actuators torque output at all corresponding positions and
directions of rotation.
Bettis has included Start, Minimum, and End pressure torque
outputs for your use.
A) Using your minimum operating pressure, select an operating
pressure column from the Pressure Torque Rating Section of less
than or equal pressure. Move down the column until both starting
and minimum output torques are found which exceed the valves
maximum and minimum torque requirements. Determine the
Bettis model number at the left, under the model number column.
B) Once a Bettis actuator model has been selected, use the
performance data tables to ensure your maximum supply pressure
does not exceed the maximum operating pressure (M.O.P.) for
your Bettis actuator. If the actuator selected is not rated for your
maximum supply pressure, either the maximum supply pressure
must be reduced or an actuator rated for a higher M.O.P. must
be selected.

Scotch-Yoke, Spring-Return, Fail CLOCKWISE Actuators

(example assumes CW to close)
Note: The valves maximum torque requirements must be
exceeded by the actuators torque output at all corresponding
positions and directions of rotation.
Bettis has included Start, Minimum, and End Spring Torque
outputs, as well as Start, Minimum and End Pressure Torque
Outputs for your use. The minimum torque outputs listed on the
Spring-Return torque charts are the lowest value of torque output
available at any position, during either stroke (pressure or spring).
A) Select from the Spring Torque column a Spring Ending torque
output which exceeds that of the valves maximum seating
requirement.
B) Proceed to the right using your minimum operating pressure
and select an operating pressure column from the Pressure
Torque Rating Section of less than or equal pressure. The Pressure
Start torque output must exceed the valves torque requirement
at this position (unseating). The Pressure End torque output must
exceed the valves torque requirement at this position (full flow)
and direction of rotation (CCW).
C) Once a Bettis actuator model has been selected, use the
performance data tables to ensure your maximum supply pressure
does not exceed the maximum operating pressure (M.O.P.) for
your Bettis actuator. If the actuator selected is not rated for your
maximum supply pressure, either the maximum supply pressure
must be reduced or an actuator rated for a higher M.O.P. must
be selected.
Contact your local Authorized Bettis distributor or a Bettis
manufacturing facility if you require assistance.

Notes:
Start: (starting) That torque output position at which an actuator produces its greatest torque output. The starting torque outputs listed in Bettis
scotch-yoke torque output charts are the lesser of the two (2) pressure strokes, when there is a difference (different areas).
Minimum: (min.) That torque output, at an intermediate position, at which an actuator produces its lowest torque output. The minimum torque
outputs shown on Bettis pressure torque output charts are the lowest torque values produced during the pressure stroke(s). For double-acting actuators, this is also the mid position.
End: (ending) That torque output position at which an actuator has reached the limit of a pressure stroke. For double-acting actuators the end torque
output is equal to the start torque output.

Notes: Spring-return, quarter-turn actuators use pressure and springs(s) to produce torque.
Start: (starting) That torque output position at which a spring-return actuator produces its greatest torque output during a spring stroke. The starting
torque output listed in Bettis spring-return torque output charts is that torque output position, where the spring is fully compressed, and capable of
transferring its maximum force.
Minimum: (min.) That torque output, at an intermediate position, at which an actuator produces its lowest torque output. The minimum torque
outputs listed on the Bettis spring torque output charts are the lowest value of torque output produced at any position, during either stroke (pressure or
spring).
End: (ending) That torque output position, at which an actuator has reached the limit of the spring stroke. The spring ending torque output values listed
on Bettis spring-return torque output charts is the torque output value where the spring is fully extended and is transferring its lowest force value.

Notes:
Start: (starting) That torque output position at which an actuator produces its greatest torque output. The starting torque outputs listed in Bettis
scotch-yoke torque output charts are the lesser of the two (2) pressure strokes, when there is a difference (different areas).
Minimum: (min.) That torque output, at an intermediate position, at which an actuator produces its lowest torque output. The minimum torque
outputs shown on Bettis pressure torque output charts are the lowest torque values produced during the pressure stroke(s). For double-acting actuators, this is also the mid position.
End: (ending) That torque output position at which an actuator has reached the limit of a pressure stroke. For double-acting actuators the end torque
output is equal to the start torque output.

Options

SIL-PAC
The unique SIL-PAC solution provides a complete hardware and
Bettis-supplied documentation package, embracing IEC, ISA and
OSHA standards, for use in a SIL application. The CBA-Series actuators have
a Failure Modes and Effects Diagnostics Analysis (FMEDA) report
performed by Exida.com for SIL suitability. They can be combined with
other components such as solenoid valves, switches and regulators. When
Fishers TV-certified FIELDVUE DVC controller is added, SIL-PAC is capable
of partial stroke testing PLUS providing continuous monitoring of supply
pressure, valve position and pressure values to the actuator to verify its
proper working condition. The SIL-PAC package can then be mounted
on the appropriate quarter-turn valve as a final control solution suitable for
SIL1, 2 or 3 applications.

Bettis Automated Packages

Bettis offers complete packages as a solution for final valve control.
Bettis has the capability to combine the CBA actuator, necessary
controls and selected valve into a single system perfect
for large international projects.
With this capability, Bettis can integrate its products with the complete offering of control options, including world-class
PlantWeb digital plant architecture and the entire range of
Emerson automation solutions.

BettiSystemsTM
Bettis has pre-engineered and documented a series of commonly required
control systems. These approved systems utilize standard components,
reduce lead times, and simplify purchasing, installation and start-up. Please
consult the factory for additional information.

M3/M3HW
This blowout-proof Jackscrew manual override is a mechanical advantage
device threaded through a special adapter or the end cap of the CBA-Series
cylinder to exert linear thrust on the actuators piston rod. The Jackscrew
override is available for all CBA models, with (HW) or without handwheel.
It provides fully-rated torque output if air supply is lost.

BettiStopTM Partial Stroke Test Device

This external-mount device is sandwiched between the CBA-Series actuator
and the valve. It is ideal for periodic testing of Emergency Shutdown valves
(ESD) while remaining in service and is used for other safety process flow
applications. It is particularly useful where compliance with ANSI/ISA S84.01,
OSHA CFR 1910.119 and IEC 61508/61511 are applicable.
The BettiStop can test a valve automation package by mechanically limiting
valve stem rotation, clockwise or counter-clockwise, to 20 degrees as standard
or 15 degrees optionally. When disengaged, the BettiStop does not interfere
with the actuated valve. Consult factory for additional information.
