Type 1061DD Damper Control Drive Assembly
D The Type 1061DD drive assembly (figure 1) is
available from Fisher Service Company only
Damper control drives can be used for gas-stream
modulation applications, isolation service for utilities
and other industries, and many other similar
applications where damper control is needed.
This drive assembly is very flexible, with seven
available sizes with torque output up to 19,800 NSm
(175,000 lbfSin) and customized mounting positions to
match your requirements.
The damper control drives are part of Fisher’s Type
1061 pneumatic piston actuator family. Damper drives
use a standard Type 1061 double-acting pneumatic
piston actuator and a Type 3620JP electro-pneumatic
positioner. This combination has proven performance
as a rugged, accurate control valve actuator, and it
can provide you the same performance as a damper
control drive.

The actuator is mounted on a fabricated steel pedestal
as shown in figure 1. The pedestals are custom
fabricated for each application, so floor bolting costs
are minimized. Fisher Service Company will measure
your application and will quote drives that bolt directly
to your existing mounting pads. Fisher Service
Company also offers linkage assemblies (figure 2) that
include lever, turnbuckles, and industrial-grade rod
ends (which are superior in performance to a bolted
clevis construction). This design reduces lost motion
caused by wear of metal-to-metal contact and
improves controllability. The linkage includes left- and
right-handed adjustor threads that allow you to adjust
the linkage without disconnecting it.
Features
D Minimum Deadband—Single-point linkage with
splined and clamped lever (see figure 3) minimizes
lost motion and improves control accuracy.

Potentiometer: For remote rotation indication
1. This term is defined in ISA Standard S51.1.
2. For direct action, an increasing input signal extends actuator rod. For reverse action, an increasing input signal retracts actuator rod.
3. Actual actuator torque available depends on specific construction, degrees of rotation, and cylinder pressure. For information on torque
requirements of the valve being considered, contact your Fisher sales office.
4. The GO proximity switches are not available for size 80, 100 or 130 actuators.

D Compact Construction—Compared to similar

actuators, overall size is as much as 30% smaller.

D Longer Service Life—Rugged construction

provides stability, corrosion resistance, and protection
from deformation should overpressure occur.

D Accurate, Efficient, Vibration-Resistant

Operation—The positioner is an accurate, fast-
responding instrument that can withstand the
vibrations of most plant environments. Low
steady-state air consumption contributes to efficient
operation.

D Versatility—The positioner offers split-range

capabilities and adjustable zero and span. The
rangeability of the positioner zero and span permits
using a single range spring for all standard input
signals including split ranges. A6351/IL

D Easy Positioner Adjustments—With the

positioner cover removed, zero, span, and cross-over
adjustments, shown in figure, are easily accessible
and can be made with a screwdriver (figure 4). Figure 2. Linkage Assembly for Type 1061DD Damper Drive

D Stable Operation—Changes in supply pressure

have minimal effect on positioner operation.
