This session will explore the unique
and differentiating features and
benefits of the G Series actuator by:

 Identifying key features/benefits

 Comparing to competition

 Supply example spec points

 Review risk and strategies

 Customer procurement analogy

“SPEC’D” – What DOES THAT MEAN???
.
0
5

Let’s start off with a general definition.

 “SPEC” - A formal description of a product or system that is used as a

blueprint for applying or driving the selection of the product.

Spec Selling – Level ONE
L
E Spec selling can be broken into at least THREE levels or groups:
S

M
T FUNCTIONAL SPEC - At minimum, a functional specification should
G
.
precisely state the purpose (e.g., the function) of the product.
0
5
– Depending on the application, the functional specification might also
provide for how the product interacts with other components (e.g., the
control system logic or user interface).
– E.g. we are on the approved vendors list!

 This is your frontline responsibility as a representative!

 It is expected that we will be on all “approved vendors lists”!

Good job - But nothing extra special. This should be an every day
occurrence

Spec Selling – Level TWO
L
E Spec selling can be broken into at least THREE levels or groups:
S

M
T SPECIFIED (driver) - At minimum, a “specified product” is one wherein
G
.
the product is referred to or utilized beyond a simple AVL listing.
0
5
– E.g. - A product thus referred to is DRIVING the spec (e.g., shown on a
data sheets/ drawings AND SPECIFIC FEATURES OR BENEFITS OR
REFERRED TO).

– Often this spec will allow others, but at their expense or exception!

– This level is the minimum level you want to achieve.

How do I get there?
Early birds get the order!
M
T Know your customers.
G
. – Call on them when nothing special is occurring – FACE TIME IS FAMILIAR TIME.
0 – Familiar time is a comfort zone. A good place.
5

Early bird – Provide information (drawings, dimensions and budgetary pricing)

when they are preparing to bid for their contract. This is pre-award and pre-feed.

Separate and win – Do not let the strong desire for a “package” delete the
individual strengths. BE FLEXABLE. Make sure the customer understands that
you can “bend”

Sorry, but if you found out about a project from a public article or after it has
been awarded you are a door solicitor.

Spec Selling – Tangible Features
L
E Spec selling can be broken into two basic groups:
S

M
T Tangible/prominent features – Physical attributes that can be easily
G
.
seen, touched or understood. IE; Internal tie bars, stop adjustment travel
0 and manual overrides. This is the easiest strategy to implement (show
5
and tell).

– DO use brochures, PPTs, samples and models

– DO YOUR HOMEWORK! What are the two - three topics that are most
important?

– Don’t waste time on details that are not important to the

customer/project.

Spec Selling – Value Selling
L
E Spec selling can be broken into two basic groups:
S

M
T  Benefits derived – An appreciation of the VALUE of the product. IE;
G
.
Life cycle cost savings (less maintenance & higher reliability = lower
0 operating costs), brand consciousness (warranty & experience) and all
5
intangibles that separate you from the rest.

– Do use references from other related projects.

– Do use reference to design and test/approval standards.

– Consider presenting by asking a question.

Notes :
Comparisions are made at 5 Bar Air Pressure
The Spring End Torque is the main criteria for the comparision
80+% of the application is Spring Return - Fail Close
Hence Spring End Torque compares with Valve Reseating Torque
The Reseating Torque for the Ball Valve is assumed @ 80% of Valve Break

Efficient Modular Inventory
L
E  Versatility
S
– The ease of interchanging the power and spring modules allows quick
M reversal of the fail-safe mode, while providing for the addition of
T overrides, accessories and other modules.
G
. – For instance, a G-Series actuator may be easily altered from a single-
0
5 acting to double-acting power cylinder configuration, and/or a hydraulic
manual override may be added after the actuator has been installed
 Efficient Modular Inventory
– All modules may be purchased separately or in any combination. This
feature allows reduced parts and spares inventory at the distribution
facility, while substantially increasing the availability of different model
configurations.
– The shaft driven accessory interface conforms to the NAMUR standard
and is identical on all G-Series actuators, allowing for standardization of
accessory mounting hardware and installation practices

Features & Benefits - Internal Tie Bars
L
E  G-Series Pneumatic Power Modules feature internal tie bars, which
S
guide the piston in the cylinder bore, preventing metal to metal
M contact between piston and cylinder wall. Thereby precluding the
T need for inefficient piston head bearings and metallic coatings.
G
.
0
Internal Tie Bars  This feature allows for the use of XylanTM,
5 which is extremely corrosion resistant. Xylan
also has excellent lubricity characteristics,
thus adding to the actuator efficiencies and
reducing piston seal wear.
 Actuators with external tie bars can suffer
from premature corrosion problems due to
inadequate “paint” coverage between tie bars
and cylinder walls, end caps voids which
cannot typically be visually inspected and are
more susceptible to mechanical impact
damage

E  Replaceable bearings protect sliding and rotating components, and
S
are suitable for either dry or lubricated working conditions. These
components are protected by low friction, permanently lubricated
M
T bearings which reduce friction losses, thereby improving efficiency

The slotted pin connects

the Acculine drive shaft
to the yoke and ensures
that the AcculineTM Drive
Shaft rotates with the
yoke but prevents any
linear movement of the
yoke being transferred to
the drive shaft
