This document is a Question and Answer (Q&A) excerpt from a federal contract solicitation addressing actuator torque specifications.

A contractor inquired about the torque and force requirements needed to provide an accurate quote for valve actuators. The procuring activity provided detailed torque specifications measured in inch-pounds (in-lbs) for both opening and closing operations. The opening sequence requires a start torque of 4950 in-lbs, a running torque of 2722.5 in-lbs, and an end torque of 2581.875 in-lbs. The closing sequence requires a start torque of 3037.5 in-lbs, a running torque of 2722.5 in-lbs, and an end torque of 4455 in-lbs. These specifications establish the technical performance parameters that contractors must meet when submitting proposals for actuator systems under this solicitation.
