MODEL IP 200
CYLINDER POSITIONER
1. INTRODUCTION
The IP 200 Positioner provides accurate and stable positioning of air cylinders used in
process control, servo control and other general industries. The unit is a compact design
for easy installation and maintenance.

3. OPERATION (Ref. Fig. 1)
Signal pressure from the controller enters the input chamber (2). The difference in
pressure causes the diaphragms (3) to move, varying the clearance between the nozzle
and diaphragms. This changes the back pressure in the nozzle. If the force of
diaphragm (5) is greater than that of diaphragm (6), the spool (7) slides across,
permitting the supply air to enter the cylinder through OUT 1 and allowing the air in OUT
2 to exhaust. The motion of the cylinder stem is transmitted to the feedback spring (10)
through the connecting rod (9). The cylinder stem moves on until the feedback spring
force balances with the force of the input chamber (2). Consequently, the cylinder can
be positioned exactly in relation to the signal pressure. Span Adjuster 911) and Zero
Adjuster (12) are provided for the adjustment of the feedback spring.

4. USER INFORMATION
4.1. Supply air must be dry and dust free. An SMC Mist Separator is recommended
for perfect filtration.
4.2. If the cylinder requires air line lubrication, the lubricator should be installed in
the output air lines and not in the supply air lines.
4.3. The Positioner should be protected from vibration as it may cause oscillation of
the feedback spring.
4.4. Use copper or brass tubes for pipe line arrangement and blow them out before
installation.
4.5. For slower cylinder speed, install speed control valves as illustrated below.
4.6. For faster cylinder speed, install booster relay and metering valves as illustrated
below. Metering valves control exhaust speed.
4.7. Speed control may be required when cylinder operates too fast 92 sec/full stroke
or less), to avoid overshooting or hunting.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING
Trouble Possible Causes Solutions
Cylinder does not move
when signal pressure increases or decreases.
Fixed orifice is clogged Remove the orifice and
clean it with a pin of 0.4 mm diameter.
Cylinder only responds intermittently to signal.
Dust is restricting the movement of spool.
Fixed orifice is clogged.
Clean spool and sleeve.
Clean the orifice
Cylinder does not operate when signal increases past
0.2 k/cm2; or, cylinder operates with signal of less than 0.2 kg/cm2.
Zero Adjusting Screw is not correctly adjusted.
Loosen the lock nut and adjust Zero point.
Cylinder stroke obtained is not in relation to the input air pressure (0.2 – 1.0
kg/cm2).
Incorrect span adjustment. Remove the set screw on the outer tube and adjust while maintaining input
signal at 0.6 kg/cm2. The span is adjusted by changing number of effective turns on the
spring. Zero adjustment should also be checked.
