2.5.2 Rotork actuators can be mounted on valves in almost any desired position. It is usual however to align the centerline of the cylinder to the centerline of the associated pipe work. Note: Certain accessory and control components e.g., filter drains, hydraulic reservoirs; require proper orientation with respect to gravity to function properly.
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE Maintenance Rotork actuators are designed to work for long periods of time in the most severe conditions. However, a preventative approach to maintenance helps prevent costly down time and can actually reduce the cost of ownership. Rotork can provide an actuator maintenance contract tailored to meet each customer’s individual requirements.
Viscosity of base oil at 100°C-ASTM D445: 32 cSt Note: This is the standard grease specification for Rotork Fluid Systems actuators. If an alternative was specified and/or supplied, it is noted in job specific documentation, which is available upon request. Hydraulic Oil Specification...
CYLINDER SEAL REPLACEMENT GP RANGE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE Cylinder Seal Replacement Disassembly 5.1.1 Disconnect pneumatic and electrical supply connections. For spring return actuators, ensure that the actuator is in the failed position (i.e., at end of the spring stroke). 5.1.2 Remove stop bolt nut (33).
In the unlikely event of a fault developing, the following Fault Location Table is provided to assist the maintenance technician. This table is designed to cover as wide a range of Rotork Fluid Systems actuators as possible. Reference to equipment not supplied should be ignored.
