1 PRELIMINARY REMARKS
1/1 SAFETY
The informations contained in this manual must be studied and thoroughly assimilated before
undertaking any maintenance work on the equipment
WARNING Operation, maintenance and adjustments are only allowed to persons with
specific training in operation and maintenance of the equipment. Read the operating
and maintenance instructions before using or servicing the equipment.
WARNING: Before starting any maintenance operation ensure that the machine is in a
! safe location with good safety, ventilation and lighting conditions. Ensure that lifting
equipments and pedestals are compatible with elements’ weight. Follow all the safety
instructions and ware safety protections as gloves, goggle, helmet, safety boots, ear
protectors.
WARNING: Before any operation stabilize and fix steadily all the elements on suitable
pedestals. Stop the power packs, switch the general power breaker. Place a tag or a
board to warn other members of the personnel that maintenance work on the machine
WARNING is in progress.
WARNING: Pressurized oil jets could cause severe injuries. Before any operation on
hydraulic circuit, STOP the power packs and release remaining pressure in
components by operating hydraulic control levers several times. Always release the
WARNING static pressure in cylinders before disassemble them.
NEVER WORK ON AN OPERATING CIRCUIT.
WARNING: While tests are in progress, do not allow any other member of the
personnel to stand in the area surrounding the machine. Stay at the control station to
be able to stop the movement and switch off the power pack.
WARNING
CAUTION: Always use suitable tools and work in a clean place when dismantling and
assembling hydraulic components. After removing cylinders the hydraulic inlet/outlet
ports must be plugged to prevent dirt and air intrusion during operation.
WARNING: The operator must always wear required personal protection, such as safety
helmet, protective overall, safety boots, hearing protectors, safety goggles etc.
WARNING: Crushing hazard : do not stay in dangerous area, for instance: central
articulation, front chassis and rear chassis.
WARNING
SAFETY
Do not attempt any such repairs or adjustments that you do not fully
!! understand.
Certain workstages require the use of the feed mechanism during the repair.
! Make sure then that:
Before starting any repair-work move away from the area where you have just
! drilled.

Fluid entering Port E2 under pressure will bear on piston (4) and force piston sleeve (3) as
indicated by the arrows.
The left-handed spline of piston sleeve (3) will combine with the right-handed spline of the shaft
(2) and cause rapid counter-clockwise rotation of the housing (1).
Fluid entering Port E1 will reverse this rotation.
Displacement and torque are identical for clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation.
The housing is supported radially by the large radial bearing (8) and the radial bearing (7).
Axially, the shaft is separated from the housing by two thrust rings (9).
End cap (5) is adjusted for axial clearance and locked in position by the four cap screws (6).
It lock the shaft in rotation by the end shaft splin.

4 DISASSEMBLY
Place on a clean work bench with room to place the internal parts as they are removed.
N
3 • Remove the safety
2 hydraulic valves (11) and the
grease nipples (10).
CAUTION: note the orientation between the spline teeth, as this will greatly simplify actuator
timing upon reassembly. See item (N).
The shaft (2) is now free to slide out of engagement with the piston sleeve (3).
After removing the shaft, the piston assembly can now be moved out of the housing. Remove all
seals and wear strips from their grooves except static piston seals. These seals generaly do not
require replacement.

6/1 PREPARATION
Wash all the parts thoroughly in cleaning solvent and blow dry. Coat all sealing and working
surfaces with good grade hydraulic oil.

14
• install seals (14) in piston sleeve and piston.

16
• Install new bearing and new seals on end
17 cap (4).
17
• Install new bearings and new seals on
shaft-mounting flange (2’).
Install the thrust rings (9) on shaft and end cap, coat the bearings with good grease before sliding
on the shaft and end cap.
6/2 PISTON
SHAFT SIDE
Looking mounting flange side, install the piston in timed relation to the housing. Apply firm
pressure as the new seals and bearings enter the housing and become compressed by the
housing chamber.
CAUTION: Do not cock the sleeve too much any one way, for it will mark the cylinder bore.
The timing marks (small punch marks on the face of each gear) must be lined up for proper drill
feed orientation.
For easier shaft installation, push the piston untill it makes contact to the ring gear.
6/3 SHAFT
The shaft is installed by again aligning the proper punched timing marks. Temporary taping
(masking tape works well) of threaded portion of shaft will help installation past the shaft seals.
• Apply antiseize compound to :
Threaded and surrounding areas of end cap (5).
Thrust bearing area of the shaft (2).
Torque the end cap to 80Nm (60 ft.lb), such that the actuator begins rotation at approximately
7bar (100 PSI).
If the end cap is torqued too high, the actuator may take as much as 20bar (300 PSI) to rotate.
If the end cap is not torqued high enough, axial motion between housing and shaft may result.
This axial motion can damage the ring gear, piston, seals,sleeve and/or shaft.
Install the cap and tighten the 4 screws to lock the end cap in position.
NOTE: END CAP TORQUE SHOULD BE CHECKED AT LEAST EVERY 800 HOURS OR
ONCE A YEAR. IF END PLAY (axial motion) IS OBSERVED, TIGHTEN END CAP.
6/5 TESTING
To test for leakage, connect a hydraulic hose only to port E2. Pressurize to 200bar (3000PSI).
No oil should seep from port E1 or from around end cap.
Repeat test for pressurizing port E1 and check for leakage out of port E2 and around shaft
mounting flange.
• Install the hydraulic safety valves and pipe back to the actuator.
• Install the grease nipples and grease relief valve.
6/6 GREASING
During the greasing, make sure that the surplus of grease seep out by the two safety hydraulic
valves (11) («grease relief valves»). A too high pressure of grease can block or damage the rotary
actuator.
