Section 2: Actuator disassembly
2�1 General disassembly
WARNING: DANGEROUS GAS AND/OR LIQUIDS
It is possible, that the actuator may contain a dangerous gas and/or liquids. Ensure that all
proper measures have been taken to prevent exposure or release of these types of contami-
nants before commencing any work.
CAUTION: PRESSURE
Pressure applied to the actuator is not to exceed the maximum operating pressure rating
listed on the actuator name tag.
NOTE:
Before starting the general disassembly of the actuator it is a good practice to operate
actuator with the pressure used by the customer to operate the actuator during normal
operation. Notate and record any abnormal symptoms such as jerky or erratic operation.
2.1.1 Remove all operating pressure from actuator, allowing the spring to stroke. The
spring will rotate the yoke to its fail position.
2.1.2 Record the settings of stop screw / ES / M3 jackscrews (1-70) and stop screw / ES
(4-30) before they are loosened or removed.
NOTE:
In place of stop screws the actuator may be equipped with one or two ES (ES = Extended
Stops) or one M3/M3HW (1-70) located on outboard end of housing (1-10).

2�2 Spring cylinder disassembly
NOTE:
Review Section 2 steps 2.1.1 through 2.1.2 before proceeding with cylinder disassembly.
CAUTION: SPRINGS ARE PRELOADED
The spring in CBB Series Spring Return Actuators are preloaded.
WARNING: POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DISASSEMBLY
Actuator must be disassembled in the following manner.
2.2.1 Remove hex nut (1-80) as follows: CBB315 through 725 standard housing stop
screw or extended stop (ES) use step 2.2.1.1. CBB315-SR-M3/M3HW through
CBB725-SR-M3/M3HW use step 2.2.1.2.
2.2.1.1 For CBB315 through 725 housing stop screw or extended stop screw
(ES):
2.2.1.1.1 Loosen and remove hex nut (1-80) and washer (1-90) from stop
screw (1-70) located in housing (1-10).
2.2.1.1.2 Remove stop screw (1-70) located in housing (1-10).
2.2.1.2 For CBB315/420/520/525/725-SR-M3 or M3HW:
2.2.1.2.1 Remove retainer ring (12-30) and groove pin (12-20) from
optional hex drive hub or from hand wheel (12-10).
2.2.1.2.2 Remove optional hex drive hub or handwheel (12-10) from M3
jackscrew (1-70).
2.2.1.2.3 Loosen and remove hex nut (1-80) from M3 jackscrew (1-70).
NOTE:
CBB420,520,525,725-SR-M3 or M3HW models: the M3 jackscrew (1-70) can not be removed now.
The M3 jackscrew used in these models can be removed later in this procedure per step 2.3.7.
2.2.2 Loosen and remove hex nut (4-40) and washer (4-90) from end cap stop screw
(4-30) or from end cap extended stop (4-30).
NOTE:
Extended stop or end cap stop screw (4-30) does not require removal from end cap (4-20)
unless replacing with a new extended stop or stop screw.
2.2.3 Remove breather (30) from end cap (4-20).
2.2.4 Remove acorn nut (8-20) and gasket seal (5-50) from end cap (4-20).
2.2.5 Use a ratchet and socket on the welded nut, located on the housing end of center bar
assembly (8-10), rotate center bar assembly (8-10) counter-clockwise (CCW). This
will cause end cap (4-20) to gradually unscrew from center bar assembly (8-10).

NOTE:
The end cap (4-20) can be held in position by holding the end cap (4-20) with an adjustable
wrench.
2.2.6 Continue to rotate center bar assembly (8-10) counter-clockwise (CCW) until the
spring preload is eliminated. As preload is reduced it may be necessary to keep end
cap (4-20) from turning.
2.2.7 After the spring preload is eliminated, unscrew and remove end cap (4-20) from
center bar assembly (8-10).
2.2.8 Remove spring (4-70) from within spring cylinder (4-10).
2.2.9 Hold torque shaft (1-30) and pull spring cylinder (4-10) away from housing (1-10);
slide spring cylinder over piston (4-50) and remove.
2.2.10 Remove spacer (1-110) from center bar assembly (8-10).
2.2.11 Pull piston (4-50) out of housing (1-10) and carefully slide piston off of center bar
assembly (8-10).
NOTE:
Piston (4-50) is an assembly made up of one roll pin and one yoke pin; do not attempt to
disassemble the piston assembly.
2.2.12 On models CBB415-SR, CBB520-SR, and CBB725-SR remove cylinder adapter (4-15).
