Not following the instructions can result in serious accidents with fatal injuries. In order to make the information clear only foreseeable conditions have been considered. No warnings are given, therefore, for situations arising from unintended usage of the machine and its tools. A summary of the safety information is found in the Safety chapter under divider 1.Contents 1 1.2 3.41 44 4.2 Function Description 1 Design 1 Working Principle 1 Fault Finding 3 Maintenance 5 Replacement of O-rings and Bearing Bushings 5 Technical Data 7 Specification 7 Dimensions 8 4.2.1 Pneumatic Actuator (Article No. 1763428-80 to -82) 8 4.2.2 Pneumatic Actuator (Article No. 1763884-80 to -82) 9 Spare Parts " 1818010-021818010-021 Function Description 1.1 Design The actuator consist of a housing (3), two end covers (2), two return springs (1), two pistons (4), anda shaft (5, 6). The shaft pinion (6) and gear racks on the pistons (7) form a gear that transmits the linear movement of the pistons to turning of the shaft. On the bigger version of the actuator the springs and pistons are kept together and fastened to the end covers by dome nuts (see figure). Spring End cover Housing Piston Output shaft Shaft with pinion Gear rack 1.2 Wor When air is supplied to the space between the two pistons they are pressed towards the end caps, thereby compressing the springs. This movement turns the output shaft (5) 90°. ig Principle NOMASNA When the air pressure is released, the springs push the pistons back and the shaft turns back 1818010-02 11 Function Description Pneumatic Actuator a 1818010-022 Fault Finding Fault Probable cause Remedy Sluggish operation. Broken piston seal. Worn-out shaft bearings, Insufficient air flow. Replace seals and bearings, see “Maintenance”. ‘Check air supply. External air leakage, Broken end cap seal. Broken seal at air inlet, Replace seals and bearings, see “Maintenance”, 1818010-022 Fault Finding = Pneumatic Actuator ‘etg010-023 Maintenance 3.1 Replacement of 0- rings and Bearing Bushings j DANGER Crush hazard Shut off the air supply and be careful when loosening the end covers. The end covers can be forced out by the spring load or air pressure and cause injury to hands or face.. 1. Shut off the air supply to the actuator, 2. Remove the actuator from its bracket on the valve by unscrewing the fastening bolts. 3. Remove the end covers (2) by loosening the four Allen screws of each cover, On actuators with dome nuts at the end of the caps, don't loosen these: they keep the spring pack together. 4. Turn the shaft (5) around to press out the pistons. 5. Remove the spring clip (see spare pants, item 10) and press the drive shaft out of the housing. 6. Replace O-rings and bushings by new original spare parts (see spare parts drawing). 1818010-023 Maintenance 7. Reassemble the actuator in reverse order. 8. Operate the actuator a few times and check that it operates properly and has no leakage.
