Johnson Controls V-3000-1 Actuator
The Johnson Controls V-3000-1 Actuator is a field-proven pneumatic valve actuator designed for the precise positioning of modulating plugs in steam and water applications. Featuring an exposed yoke design, this unit is engineered for linear movement with a spring return safety mechanism, ensuring reliable fail-safe operation in protected environments. The V-3000-1 operates with a maximum 30 PSI control pressure and utilizes a high-quality synthetic rubber diaphragm housed in a die-cast aluminum casing to maintain a constant effective area throughout the stroke. This proportional control actuator is compatible with 1/2" flare valves, VT series, and 3/4" to 1-1/2" cage trim valves. Installation is streamlined via a 1/8" NPT barbed air connection for 5/32" OD polytubing. Depending on the specific valve spring kit selected, technicians can calibrate the assembly for 3-6 PSI, 4-8 PSI, or 9-13 PSI ranges, providing the flexibility needed for complex HVACR sequences and technical system integration.
Key Benefits- Precise Modulating Control: Engineered for accurate proportional control of water and steam flow in terminal units.
- Robust Construction: The die-cast aluminum housing provides maximum protection for internal components in commercial HVAC environments.
- Field Flexibility: Easily mounts to valve bonnets with a single setscrew and supports V-9502 positioners for high-force applications.
- Reliable Temperature Range: Rated for ambient operating temperatures from -20?F to 150?F and media temperatures up to 281?F.
What valves are compatible with the V-3000-1?
The V-3000-1 is primarily used with 1/2" flare valves, VT series valves, and 3/4" to 1-1/2" cage trim valves. Note that it is not compatible with VG7000 series bronze valves; for those, the V-3000-8012 is generally required.
Can I add a positioner to this actuator?
Yes, the exposed yoke model allows for the field installation of a V-9502 pneumatic positioner when sequential operation or increased positioning power is necessary for the HVAC control system.
Does this unit include the spring?
The operating spring is typically part of the valve body or spring kit, not the actuator itself. Ensure you select the correct valve spring kit for your desired 3-6, 4-8, or 9-13 PSI range.
