THREE SOURCE PLUMBING

Refer to Figures 2 & 3.

The Nexen STB has six air ports. All six air ports accept 1/8''
NPT fittings. Air line connections can be made in two ways.

The first method requires three air sources and allows the
operator to interrupt or supply air to any combination of the
three pairs of ports. The three pairs of ports supply pressure
to three different sized pistons. Each port is labeled ''A,''
''B,'' or ''C.'' The two ''A'' ports supply the smallest pistons.
The two ''B'' ports supply the intermediate sized pistons.
The two ''C'' ports supply the largest pistons. The torque
output is related to a change in air pressure and the number
and size of the pistons used.

NOTE

Only pairs of pistons A, B, or C should be used. Do

not use only one port.

The second method is to plumb all six ports together so
they are supplied by one source. This method relates the
change in torque performance to change in air pressure only.

RING GUARD INSTALLATION

Refer to Figure 4.

1. Align the mounting holes of the Ring Guard with the

six tapped holes on the STB Mounting Flange.

2. Using the six supplied fasteners, secure the Ring Guard

to the STB. Tighten to 35 in-lbs.

3. Place the End Cap onto the Ring Guard and secure it

in place by bending its tabs around the Ring Guard.

4. Route air lines through fitting on top of guard.

AIR CONNECTIONS

CAUTION

Low air pressure will cause slippage and

overheating. Excessive air pressure will

cause abrupt starts and stops, reducing

product life.

All Nexen pneumatically actuated devices require clean
and dry air, which meet or exceeds ISO 8573.1:2001
Class 4.4.3 quality.

The following is a common air supply scheme used with
this product. This is an example and not an all-inclusive
list. All air circuits to be used with this product must be
designed following EN983 guidelines.

NOTE

For quick response, Nexen recommends a quick

exhaust valve and short air lines between the

Control Valves and the product. Align the air inlet

ports to a down position to allow condensation to

drain out of the air chambers of the product.
