Description
2052 spring‐and‐diaphragm rotary actuators are used on rotary‐shaft valve bodies for throttling or on‐off applications.
The 2052 may be used for on‐off service without a positioner, or it may be used for throttling service with a positioner,
depending on service conditions. The 2052 has an ISO 5211 mating interface that allows installation to non‐Fisher
valves. Refer to separate bulletins for valve and positioner information.
A top-mounted handwheel option is available for infrequent service as a manual actuator. For repeated or daily manual
operation, the unit should be equipped with a side-mounted declutchable 1078 manual actuator. Externally adjustable
travel stops are used to limit the degree of rotation at both ends of the actuator stroke.
The lever for the 2052 actuator is supported by bushings. The lever may be changed to accommodate valve bodies
with different size valve shafts.

Installation
WARNING
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations.
Check with your process or safety engineer for any other hazards that may be present from exposure to process media.
If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this
instruction manual.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury and parts damage, do not apply pressure that exceeds the Maximum Diaphragm Casing Pressure
in table 1. Use pressure‐limiting or pressure‐relieving devices to prevent the Operating Pressure from exceeding the values
shown in table 3.
4
The actuator, as it comes from the factory, is normally mounted on a valve body. If the actuator is shipped separately
or if it is necessary to mount the actuator on the valve, perform the procedures presented in the Actuator Mounting
section. Follow the procedures given in the valve instruction manual when installing the control valve in the pipeline.
If a positioner is ordered with the actuator, the pressure connection to the actuator is normally made at the factory. If
it is necessary to make this connection, run tubing of the appropriate size for the diaphragm casing pressure
connection (reference table 5) between the pressure connection and the instrument. Keep the length of tubing or
pipe as short as possible to avoid transmission lag in the control signal.
When the control valve is completely installed and connected to the controlling instrument, check to make sure that
the action is correct (air‐to‐open or air‐to‐close) and that the controlling instrument is properly configured for the
desired action. For successful operation, the diaphragm rod assembly, lever, and valve shaft must move freely in
response to changes in the loading pressure on the diaphragm.
Actuator Mounting
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing
any maintenance operations:
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations.
D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
from both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
D Safely vent the power actuator loading pressure.
D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D The valve packing box may contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the
pipeline. Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any hazards that may be present from exposure to process media.
Use the following steps to mount the actuator or to change actuator mounting style or position.
Unless otherwise specified, key numbers referenced in the following procedures are shown in figure 7 for the 2052
actuator.
If the Actuator is mounted on a valve body and it is necessary to change mounting style or position, the actuator must
first be separated from the valve body.
1. Isolate the valve body from the process. Release process pressure and vent all actuator pressure.
2. Remove the cover or plug (key 2).
WARNING
To avoid personal injury and equipment damage from moving parts, keep fingers and tools clear while stroking the
actuator with the cover removed.
5
3. Loosen the cap screw (key 15).

4. Separate the actuator from the valve body by removing the cap screws and nuts which secure the valve to the
mounting yoke (key 27). Proceed to step 5.
If the actuator is not mounted on a valve body ensure the up and down travel stops (see figure 3) are adjusted
correctly to achieve the desired actuator rotation. Use the travel indicator (key 21) and travel scale (key 19) as
reference.
Note
Once each travel stop is properly positioned, adequately tighten the hex nut (key 24) to lock the travel stop in place.
5. Refer to figure 2 and table 4 for available mounting styles and positions. The actuator is normally positioned
vertically with the valve in a horizontal pipeline.
6. Determine whether the actuator mounting yoke (key 27) will be mounted on the end plate assembly (key 3) side or
on the actuator housing boss side of the actuator. If the desired mounting position and style require moving the
mounting yoke (key 27) and travel indicator components to opposite sides of the actuator, remove the machine
screws (keys 20 and 22), the travel indicator scale (key 19), and the travel indicator (key 21). Remove the cap screws
(key 28) and the mounting yoke (key 27). Install the mounting yoke in the desired position (on the end plate
assembly or on the actuator housing boss). Tighten the mounting cap screws to the torque specified in table 6.
Install the travel indicator components on the opposite side of the actuator.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage, ensure the travel indicator is installed correctly to coincide with the desired
actuator action. Refer to figure 3 for more information.

7. Before sliding the valve shaft into the lever, position the valve ball or disk as follows:
For push‐down‐to‐close action, the valve ball or disk should be in the fully open position.
For push‐down‐to‐open action, the valve ball or disk should be in the fully closed position (see the valve body
instruction manual).
8. Make sure that the index markings on the valve shaft are properly aligned with either the markings on the lever or
the travel indicator scale mounting holes. Slide the valve shaft into the lever. (See figure 4 for one possible
orientation.) Install the valve mounting cap screws and nuts. Tighten to the torque value given in the appropriate
valve body instruction manual.
9. Ensure all end play in the valve shaft is removed by directing the valve shaft and control element toward the
actuator as much as possible.
10. Tighten the socket head cap screw (key 15) which compresses the splined lever connection to the valve shaft (see
table 6). Install the cover or plug (key 2) into the access hole in the housing.
NOTICE
When adjusting the travel stop for the closed position of the valve ball or disk, refer to the appropriate valve instruction
manual for detailed procedures. Undertravel or overtravel at the closed position may result in poor valve performance
and/or damage to the equipment.
Over-rotation of the lever could result in the diaphragm stroking to the point where the diaphragm seals off against the air
signal connection. This could prevent an air signal from being able to stroke the valve.
11. Adjust the up travel stop (see figure 3) so that the valve ball or disk is in the desired position. When adjusting the up
travel stop, ensure the stop is not backed out too far, causing the lever to over-rotate. Over-rotation of the lever
may cause damage to valve components. Avoid over-rotation by adjusting the up travel stop so that the travel
indicator screws (key 22) align with the travel scale screws (key 20). See figure 3.
12. Stroke the actuator and adjust the down travel stop so that the valve ball or disk is in the desired position.
Note
Once each travel stop is properly positioned, adequately tighten the hex nut (key 24) to lock the travel stop in place.
13. Make sure that the travel indicator pointer matches the ball or disk position. Remove and install in the proper
position if necessary.
14. Refer to the table of contents for accessory installation procedures.
Maintenance
Actuator parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. The frequency of
inspection and replacement depends upon the severity of service conditions. Instructions are given below for
disassembly and assembly of parts. Key numbers referenced in the following steps are shown in figure 7 for the 2052,
except as listed below or otherwise specified in the procedures.

The handwheel assembly is welded to a special top casing assembly (key 5, figure 9 and figure 10). A hex nut (key 43)
locks the handwheel in position. For field installation of a handwheel, the special upper diaphragm casing is supplied
with the handwheel.
Turning the handwheel (key 32) clockwise into the upper casing forces the pusher plate (key 36) against the
diaphragm and diaphragm plate (keys 11 and 6, figure 7) to compress the inner and outer springs (keys 12 and 13,
figure 7) and move the diaphragm rod assembly downward. Turning the handwheel counter‐clockwise allows the
actuator spring(s) to move the diaphragm rod assembly upward.
NOTICE
Damage to the handwheel screw can occur if the handwheel is over-rotated in the counter-clockwise direction. The
handwheel should not continue to be rotated once the actuator reaches the up stop and resistance to turning the
handwheel significantly drops.
Instructions are given below for complete disassembly and assembly required for inspection and parts replacement.
12
Disassembly
WARNING
To avoid personal injury from the precompressed spring force thrusting the upper diaphragm casing away from the
actuator, fully turn the handwheel counterclockwise.
1. Perform steps 1 through 6 of the Replacing Diaphragm procedure.

2. Remove the cotter pin, hex nut, handwheel, and locknut (keys 34, 33, 32, and 43). Unscrew the stem (key 35) out
through the actuator end of the handwheel body (key 5). Size 3 also requires removal of spacer (key 42).
3. Check the condition of the O‐ring (key 44); replace if necessary.
4. For Size 1 and Size 2, If it is necessary to remove the pusher plate or spacer (key 36 or 42), drive out the groove pin
(key 37).
5. For the Size 3, remove cap screw (key 59) if the pusher plate or thrust bearing needs to be removed.
Assembly (Size 1 and Size 2)

1. Before assembling, lubricate the thread of the stem (key 35) with anti‐seize lubricant. Lubricate the bearing
surfaces of the stem and rounded end with lithium grease.
2. If the pusher plate or spacer was removed, attach them to the stem and drive in a new groove pin (key 37).
3. With the O‐ring (key 44) in place, thread the stem into the handwheel assembly.
4. Install the locknut, handwheel, hex nut, and cotter pin (keys 43, 32, 33, and 34).
Note
Be sure to install the handwheel so that the arrow of operation on the top side coincides with the action of the actuator, as stated
on the nameplate. (The arrow should point clockwise for PDTO. The arrow should point counter-clockwise for PDTC.)
5. Install the top casing assembly, making certain the warning tag is in place on the casing flange.
Assembly (Size 3)
1. Before assembling, lubricate the thread and bearing surfaces of the handwheel screw (key 35) with grease (key 60).
2. If the pusher plate was removed, lubricate thrust bearing (key 56) and thrust bearing races (key 55) with grease (key
60) and place inside top of pusher plate (key 36).
3. Insert the bottom of handwheel screw (key 35) through the pusher plate, thrust bearing, and thrust bearings races.
Apply thread sealant (key 59) to screw (58) to capture the pusher plate onto the end of the handwheel screw.
4. Lubricate o-ring (key 44) with grease (key 60) and install into top casing assembly.
5. With the O‐ring (key 44) in place, thread the stem into the handwheel assembly.
6. Install the locknut, handwheel, hex nut, spacer, and cotter pin (keys 43, 32, 33, 42, and 34).
Note
Be sure to install the handwheel so that the arrow of operation on the top side coincides with the action of the actuator, as stated
on the nameplate. (The arrow should point clockwise for PDTO. The arrow should point counter-clockwise for PDTC.)
7. Install the top casing assembly, making certain the warning tag is in place on the casing flange.

Locking Mechanism
Refer to figures 5 or 6 for the appropriate size locking mechanism when installing or planning to operate the device.
WARNING
Installing the Size 1 Locking Mechanism

To add the locking mechanism (figure 5) to an existing actuator, purchase the required kit from Emerson.
1. Ensure the diaphragm rod assembly (key 10) is in the upward position and the lever (key 14) is against the up travel
stop (spring fail position).
2. Thread the supplied jam nut (key 40) all the way onto the threaded bolt portion of the mounting plate assembly.
3. Loosen the down travel stop hex nut (key 24) and remove the travel stop cap screw (key 23).
4. Remove the vent screen (key 47) from the threaded hole in the bottom of the actuator housing.
5. Secure the locking plate (key 39) to the bottom of the housing assembly by reinstalling the down travel stop (key
23) and hex nut (key 24). Ensure the clearance hole in the locking plate is aligned with the threaded hole in the
bottom of the housing.
6. Ensure the down travel stop is adjusted correctly to achieve the desired actuator rotational output.
7. Install the mounting plate assembly (key 38) by inserting it through the clearance hole in the locking plate and
threading it into the hole in the actuator housing.

Installing the Size 2 and 3 Locking Mechanism

To add the locking mechanism (figure 6) to an existing actuator, purchase the required kit from Emerson. Verify the
current lever is compatible before ordering kits or parts.
1. The actuator should be mounted to the valve body and both travel stops (key 23) properly positioned prior to
installing the locking mechanism.
2. Ensure the actuator lever (key 14) is in the spring-fail position (against the up travel stop).
3. Assemble the lockout kit by positioning the locking shaft (key 50) within the center through-hole of the mounting
plate (key 51), as shown in figure 6. Insert the locking pin (key 52) through the center pinhole of the mounting plate
and through the pin hole in the locking shaft. Install the hairpin cotter pin (key 54) for retention.
4. If installing the lockout kit on an existing actuator, remove the travel indicator (key 21) and travel indicator scale
(key 19) from the actuator by loosening the appropriate screws.
5. Position the lockout kit against the actuator outboard end. The locking shaft will insert and engage the lever end
geometry.
Size 2 actuator: The standard size 2 lockout kit orientation shown in figure 6 will accommodate the use of
window-mount and end-mount digital valve controllers, positioners, and accessories. This orientation requires
removal of the locking pin in the direction of the bottom side of the actuator.
Size 3 actuator: For the window mounted DVC6200 digital valve controller, the size 3 lockout kit should be oriented
such that locking pin removal is in the direction of the bottom side of the actuator. This mounting plate position
16
provides necessary clearance with the integral supply pressure regulator. For the end-mount digital valve controller or
accessory option, the size 3 lockout kit should be oriented as shown in the inset picture of figure 6.
6. Loosely install the four flanged cap screws (key 53). Prior to tightening the fasteners, ensure the through-hole in the
mounting plate is centered around the outside diameter of the locking shaft (key 50). Rotate the assembly by hand
in the appropriate direction opposite of anticipated lever rotation to eliminate initial clearance among parts.
7. Tighten the cap screws (key 53) per the recommended torque values in table 6.
8. Install the travel indicator (key 21) and travel indicator scale (key 19) to the lockout parts as illustrated in figure 6.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage, ensure the travel indicator is installed correctly to coincide with the desired
actuator action. Refer to figure 3 for more information.
9. For normal actuator operation, remove the hairpin cotter pin (key 54) and locking pin (key 52) from the center
pinhole of the mounting plate and reinstall these parts in the second pinhole for storage.
Operating the Locking Mechanism (Size 2 and 3)
To Lock the Actuator

1. With the actuator lever (key 14) against the up travel stop (spring-fail position), insert the locking pin (key 52)
through the center pinhole of the mounting plate and through the pin hole in the locking shaft. Install the hairpin
cotter pin (key 54) for retention.
2. Install the customer-supplied locking device to further prevent removal of the locking pin.
To Unlock the Actuator

1. Remove the customer-supplied locking device.
2. Remove the hairpin cotter pin (key 54) and locking pin (key 52) from the center pinhole of the mounting plate and
