3. INSPECTION AT DELIVERY & STORAGE
3.1 All actuators must be examined upon delivery to ensure that they have not suffered any damage
during transport. Inform the supplier immediately if there is any damage.
3.2 As standard, actuators will leave the factory in closed position. Open position configuration must be
specially requested.
3.3 WARNING!!
Actuators must be stored under cover and protected from inclement weather conditions and
dampness with air conducts properly covered.
3.4 Actuators should not be unpacked until their definitive installation, except for inspection purposes.
4. INSTALLATION
4.1 The handling and transportation of actuators must be carried out with extreme precaution and using
the necessary and adequate means depending on their size and weight in order to avoid risks to the
operators handling them.
WARNING !!
Check the physical conditions of actuators in order to detect any damage incurred during
transport and/or handling.
4.2 Actuators should be installed in such a way that they are easy to access in order to do the periodic
inspections and corresponding maintenance operations necessary to guarantee the performance
qualities that they have been designed for.
WARNING !!
Actuators must not support unexpected stress. It is important to do the assemble with a
correct alignment and parallelism to guarantee that it is not submitted to unexpected stress.
IMPORTANT !!
After the installation carry out a final operational check of the actuator by making some opening
and closing operations to ensure that it works properly.

The use of dry air increases the lifetime of the actuators, as well as the lifetime of their
accessories, solenoids and other pneumatic accessories.
4.2.1 RECOMMENDED MINIMUM AIR QUALITY
For best possible service life and trouble-free operation, ISO 8573-1 quality class 5.4.4
should be used. This means 40 µm filter, dew point +3ºC for indoor operation (a lower dew point
should be selected for outdoor operation, Quality class 3) and oil concentration 5.0mg oil/m³.

4.2.2 LUBRICATION
Actuators are factory lubricated for the lifetime in normal working conditions.
The standard lubricant is suitable for use from -30ºC (-22º F) up to 100ºC (212º F).
For low and high temperature execution, where special grease is required please contact
ACTREG.
For our standard execution we recommend to use Molicote B2.2 Plus grease or silimar.
WARNING !!
Actuators are lubricated during assembly and do not require any further lubrication.
4.3 Make sure that both the actuator and valve are in the same position, open or closed.
4.4 When assembling the actuator on the valve, check their alignment to ensure that the coupling parts
work perfectly aligned.
4.5 The coupling bolts, whether the actuator connects directly to the valve or uses a bracket, must be
tightened proportionally, distributing the stress, before tightening them completely.
4.6 The normal performance of the actuators is to close clockwise and to open anticlockwise.
However, this may be inverted under request.
4.7 ACTREG pneumatic actuators are provided with bi-directional pinion travel stops. Side located stops
allow a full ±5º travel adjustment between 85º and 95º. Adjustment of the counter clockwise and
clockwise rotation limits is accomplished by unscrewing the locking nuts. 1/3 turn of those locking nuts
means 1º of the stroke.
WARNING!!
Do not adjust more than 2.5º each side, designed by the manufacturer. Internal parts could
be damaged.
IMPORTANT !!
It is advisable to operate the actuator twice before fully tightening the coupling bolts in order to
ensure a good centring.

5. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
5.1 This basically consists in a periodic inspection to check the actuator function.
5.2 Actuators must be operated at least once every six months. However, depending on the application of
the actuator, this may be done within shorter periods.
5.3 It is the end user’s responsibility to establish these operation plans depending on the working
conditions.
WARNING !!
Never leave the actuators opened or closed during a long period of time.
5.4 It is recommended to replace O-rings, guides and washers when an in-depth revision of the
installation is made.
6. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
6.1 PRECAUTIONS BEFORE DISASSEMBLY!!
6.1.1 Disconnect the actuator and its accessories from the air and electrical network.
6.1.2 Disassembly the solenoid from the actuator.
6.1.3 Disassembly the actuator from the valve and/or from its couplings.
WARNING !!
Always wear adequate protective clothing (Follow the safety guidelines established by
your company!)
Any parts replacement should be done with the original ACTREG spare parts!!
The manufacturer will not be responsible of the wrong functioning of the actuator if
original ACTREG parts have not been used.
7. REASONS FOR PARTS REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
Parts of the actuator will have to be repaired or replaced as soon as leakage is detected through the
upper O-ring (111) or lower O-ring (110) of the pinion, through the O-ring (109) of the piston or through the O-
rings (118) of the end caps.
As soon as this happens, proceed with the disassembly of the actuator and replacement of all the O-
rings, bushings, slide guides and washers as listed in the spares parts.
8. DISASSEMBLY OF THE ACTUATOR
Once the precautions prior to the disassembly have been taken, follow the next steps:
8.1 Disassembly the end caps (4) of the actuator by un-tightening the external bolts (113).
WARNING !!
With SPRING RETURN ACTUATORS there is no danger during this operation as the
fastening bolts of the caps are designed with adequate length to absorb spring stress.

8.2 Unfasten the nuts (934) in order to remove the levelling screws (16).
8.3 Turn the pinion (3) anticlockwise to disengage the pistons (2) in normally closed actuators and
clockwise in normally open ones. Remove the pistons from the cylinder.
8.4 Disassemble the position indicator (20), the degree indicator (24), the slip washer (471), the soft pinion
washer (5) and the metallic pinion washer (8) from the upper side.
8.5 Disassemble the pinion (3) from the lower part of the body (1) of the actuator. To do this operation,
disassemble the upper pinion bearing (10) and the stop (12) through the inside of the body.
8.6 Clean all the parts of the actuator.
8.7 Examine all the parts in order to see if there is any wear due to an over-use.
WARNING!!
Carefully examine the inside of the cylinder.
8.8 If everything is in good conditions, replace the O-rings, bushings, slide guides included in the
ACTREG Maintenance kits, before reassembling the actuator.
8.9 Lubricate the parts of the actuator with Molicote B 2-2 plus grease. Apply a thin layer of grease on the
O-rings (109, 110 & 111).
9. ASSEMBLY OF THE ACTUATOR
After the disassembly, the inspection and lubrication of the different parts proceed to the assembly
following the sequence below:
9.1 Correctly assembly all the parts included in ACTREG Maintenance kits previously lubricated.
9.2 Place the pinion (3) in the body’s (1) actuator from underneath. Once the pinion appears through the
inside of the body, assemble the pinion stop (12) in its correct position and the upper pinion bearing
(10).
9.3 Place the soft pinion washer (5), the metallic pinion washer (8), the slip washer (471), the degree
indicator (24) and the position indicator (20) in the upper part of the pinion.
9.4 Assemble both pistons, checking that they engage at the same time when turning the pinion (3)
clockwise for normally closed actuators and anticlockwise for normally open actuators.
9.5 Assemble actuators end caps (4) tighten the bolts (113) adequately distributed.
9.6 Check that the open and closed positions coincide with the position indicated in the upper part of the
pinion, then assembly the cover.
IMPORTANT !!
Once the assembly is done, operate the actuator a few times.
