Model 24 Snap Acting Relay from Rotork Fairchild

Model 24 Snap Acting Relay from Rotork FairchildModel 24 Snap Acting Relay is a highly accurate differential relay with snap-acting switching. The output of the unit will go to supply pressure when the signal is equal to or greater than the setpoint. The signal pressure must fall below the set point to return the output to zero. This pneumatic relay's near zero throttling and pilot staging, result in true snap-action in your application.

Features

Model 24 Snap Acting Relay Features

  •  Control sensitivity of 1/8" water column - designed for use in precision applications
  • Balanced supply valve minimizes the effects of supply pressure variation
  • Aspirator tube design compensates for output pressure droop under flow conditions
  • Separate control chamber isolates the diaphragm from the main flow to eliminate hunting and buzzing
  • Unit construction allows servicing without removal from air line

Model 24 Snap Acting Relay Q & A

+What is the basic operation principle of the Model 24?
The M24 is a snap-acting differential pneumatic relay: when the signal pressure reaches the setpoint, the output jumps to full supply pressure; when the signal drops below setpoint, output returns to zero. This “near-zero throttling and pilot staging” delivers true snap action.
+How sensitive is the relay — i.e. what is its control sensitivity?
Control sensitivity is 1/8" water column, meaning it can detect very small changes — suitable for precision applications.
+What signal (input) pressure ranges are available for the relay?
There are multiple available signal ranges: 2" W.C. – 10 psig, 0.5–30 psig, 1–60 psig, and 2–120 psig.
+What is the maximum supply pressure and minimum supply pressure required?
Maximum supply pressure is 120 psig (8.0 bar, 800 kPa). Minimum supply pressure is 10 psig (0.7 bar, 70 kPa) — if actual supply is below that, the “separate supply to pilot” option should be used.
+What are the flow and exhaust capacities of the M24?
Flow capacity (forward) is 14 SCFM (≈ 23.8 m3/hr) at 100 psig supply. Exhaust capacity (relieving) is also 14 SCFM at the same conditions.
