1. Product instruction
1.1 Summary
QBR3~QBR5 are quarter-turn electric valve actuators (hereinafter referred to as Electric actuator)
invented by our Company. ThisseriesareclassifiedintoQBR3, QBR4, QBR5 according to the seating
numbers. Control torque ranges from 600 Nm to 12000Nm. This series can be operated with ball valve,
butterfly valve whose disc can make a 90°turn, combining an electric valve actuator which controls valve
open and close. Both single unit control and collective-remote control can be realized. Remote electric
control and manual operation, electric operation on site can also be realized. This series can be largely
applied in pipe and valve industrial field.
This explosion-proof grade for the explosion-proof type product (with Ex) is Ex db IIB T4 Gb.

1.3.4 Torque control mechanism: it controls the valve according to the output torque set by the electric
actuator, both in valve open and close direction. Torque signal comes from a axial movement from which
electrical worm compresses belleville spring. Torque switches are made of cams.(see Fig.2)
1.3.5 Manual operation mechanism: manual-electrical switch is automatic. To turn the handwheel while in
manual operation without switching. Due to QBR5 outputs a big torque value, to add a NGW planetary
reducer on the manual worm so as to minimize the handwheel’s force.
1.3.6 Spline joint head: one of QBR serial feature is that spline joint head is mounted in the output shaft,
which is suitable for the electric actuator to mount on valve in multi-angle. It is easy to be removed and it
can assist the processing of the stem’s key slot. The spline joint head is suitable for the mounting of valve
and quarter-turn electric actuator which has mechanical limit output shaft. (The output shaft of this series
has mechanical limits both on open and close position.)
1.3.7 Local control buttons: local control buttons, at one side of the handwheel, are responsible for

2.1 Electric wiring stepss for the General type
ty
t pe of actuator (non-explosion proof)
2.1.1 First, open the casee cover;
over; put power cable
cab and
a control cable respectively through “wiring inlet
structure” and into thee control case. Please
Please see Fig.3 for wiring inlet structure.
ཙ

2.1.2 According to the Electric

ctric schematic
sch diagram,
d Terminal Numbers and Electric Schematic Wiring’s
number, connect each core wire with w teterminals. It should be reliable and cannot be exposed to the outside.
2.1.3 Gently pull the cable out soo as
a to ensure that the cable will not influence other working parts in the
control case.
2.1.4 Put the sealing ring and gasket into the case’s screw hole; rotate gland nut and compress sealing ring,
so as to make it closely contact with cable’s edge.
2.1.5 Inner grounding and external grounding should be fixed and reliable.
2.2 Wiring steps for explosion-proof type of electric actuator (see Fig.4)
2.2.1 Remove No.1 gland nut, and take No.2-No.4. Now, No.3 gasket used for sealing is useless.
2.2.2 Open No.5 wiring box case.
2.2.3 Put power cable and control cable respectively through No.1, No.2, No.4 and No.2 (see Fig.4)
2.2.4 Put cable’s end into wiring box’s inlet hole; put the lug plate on each core wire; lug plate and the core
wire should be fastened.
2.2.5 Connect each core wire with corresponding contacts according to the electric schematic wiring
diagram.
2.2.6 Push every component on the cable into the wiring box’s inlet hole and gently pull the cable outward,

2
so as to ensure the cable’s rubber jacket is in the hole of the “sealing plug”.
2.2.7 Screw the gland nut to compress the sealing rubber plug and make it combine firmly with cable’s
rubber jacket. Connect the grounding core wire of the cable with the inner grounding screw of the wiring
box.
2.2.8 Put on the wiring box case.
2.2.9 Connect the actuator’s external ground, and it should be reliable and safe.

ƾ The torque mechanism
m has been teste
tested and set up before delivered from the factory. It complies with the
maximum torque value written the nameplate. User does not need to readjust. (see Fig.2) Besides, fasten
en onn th
two mechanical limit screws on the main case body. It is better not to unscrew the mechanical limit screws
if there is no special condition.
ƾ Potentiometer’s gear and potentiometer shall be loosened in case of any damage to the potentiometer.
ƾ The cam on the limit control mechanism is Closing Cam. OPEN and CLOSE have been marked on the
torque control mechanism.
3.1 The adjustment for the limit control mechanism (including adjustment for positioner
and potentiometer.)
A. Make the valve at the middle position.
B. Start the motor and then make sure if the rotation direction of the valve is right while it is of
electric-driven. If wrong, change power phase sequence.
C. Manually close the valve; loosen the screw on the Closing Cam; in the direction of valve closing, to
rotate the cam until a “crack” sound is heard, fasten the screws on the cam.
D. Manually open the valve, making the Closing Cam to be away from micro switch’s contact. Then,

3
electrically close the valve to check if valve’s closing position is precise. With a precise limit position and a
sensitive control, user can fasten the screw on the Closing Cam. Loosening the screw is forbidden.(To
adjust the cam if there is error with valve’s closing position and repeatedly check until requirement is met.)
Adjustment for the closing position of valve.
E. Manually operate the valve to the fully open position and unscrew the screw on the Open Cam; turn the
cam to contact micro switch in the direction of opening valve as long as a “crack” sound is heard, user can
fasten screw. (The steps below are the same with “D” and be care of the direction.)
F. Electrically operate the valve for one stroke to make sure the controlling is in good condition. Check
again if the screws on the cams are fastened firmly. Till now, adjustment for open stroke and closing stroke
are finished. (See Fig.1)
3.2Adjustment for the pointer and potentiometer
A. When the valve is at a limit position, unscrew the pointer’s screws to have it pointed at the
corresponding scale and then fasten the screw. See Fig.1
B. When the valve is at a limit position(fully open or closed), uplift the potentiometer’s gear to make it to
be separated. Then, fasten the screws; rotate the potentiometer to the corresponding
respondin
pondi valve position
(potentiometer rotates to the end position) and go back a little. Unscrew
ew the
he screw on the potentiometer’s
gear and make it to be meshed. To confirm it is meshed before fasten
stenn the screw.(Take care
car of the limit
position ,or it would be damaged.)
3.3Adjustment for the mechanical limit screws
A. To make sure in which valve position the screw limitsmits
ts before adjusting the m
mechanical limit screw.
While turning the valve right is to close, the limit screw
crew on the right side is closing
c limit and the limit screw
on the left side is open limit.
B. When the valve is adjusted on a limit position, otate the screws iinward
sition, rotate in until it touches the upper part of
the driving shaft, and then, rotate back for 0.5-1
5-1 turn. Finally, fasten
fas
fa the outside screw and nut. Till now,
adjustment for mechanical limit is finished.
