Model 25 Reversing Relay from Rotork Fairchild

Model 25 Reversing Relay from Rotork FairchildModel 25 Reversing Relay is designed for applications requiring an output that equals a manually preset spring load minus a variable signal pressure. This high-quality unit combines excellent sensitivity with unusually high flow capacity.

Operating Principles
The Model 25 Reversing Relay is designed for applications requiring an output that equals a manually preset spring load minus a variable signal pressure. This high-quality unit combines excellent sensitivity with unusually high flow capacity.

The Model 25 is ideally suited for a variety of precision control applications, including converting direct acting valves to reverse action, controlling opposite acting valves from a single transmitter, and cushioning cylinder loads.

The basic mathematical expression for the Model 25 is PO = K - PS where PO is output pressure, PS is signal pressure and K is the spring constant.

Model 25 Reversing Relay Q & A

+What does the Model 25 Reversing Relay do?
The Model 25 provides an output pressure that decreases as the input (signal) pressure increases. It is used when the direction of a pneumatic control signal must be reversed.
+How does the reversing function work?
The relay output follows the equation PO = K – PS, meaning the output (PO) equals a spring constant (K) minus the signal pressure (PS). As PS rises, PO drops proportionally.
+What is the maximum supply pressure for the Model 25?
The unit can operate with supply pressure up to 250 psig (17.5 bar / 1750 kPa).
+What is the maximum signal or output pressure?
Both signal and output pressures may go up to 150 psig (10 bar / 1000 kPa).
+How much flow capacity does the Model 25 provide?
It offers 40 SCFM (68 m3/hr) forward flow at 100 psig supply and 11 SCFM (18.7 m3/hr) exhaust capacity at the same conditions.
