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).

Section 3: Actuator reassembly
3�1 General reassembly
CAUTION: CHECK SHELF LIFE OF SEALS
Only new seals that are still within the seals expectant shelf life should be installed into the
actuator being refurbished.
3.1.1 Remove and discard all old seals and gaskets.
3.1.2 All parts should be cleaned to remove all dirt and other foreign material prior to
inspection.
3.1.3 All parts should be thoroughly inspected for excessive wear, stress cracking,
galling and pitting. Attention should be directed to threads, sealing surfaces
and areas that will be subjected to sliding or rotating motion. Sealing surfaces of
the cylinder, torque shaft and center bar must be free of deep scratches, pitting,
corrosion and blistering or aking coating. On the CBB models, there are two
O-Rings on the torque shaft and two extra O-Rings beneath the washers on the
housing. These items MUST be replaced upon re-assembly
NOTE:
Prior to installing new seals: Fit the torque shaft snap ring groove with installation rings
that come with the CBB service kits. These rings help guide the torque-shaft through the
housing and seals which will prevent seal damage. First, take out both old seals, then install
the rings onto the shaft, and then install seals in housing. Once this is done, remove install
rings and proceed. See LCD PAK installation instructions, Part Number 153955, for details.
Coat torque shaft LCD PAK seals (2-20) with lubricant and install in one of the grooves
located in the torque shaft bore of the housing (1-10).
The cup/lip of torque shaft seal will be installed facing inward into the housing. For the CBB,
coat the torque-shaft O-Ring (2-25) with grease upon installation.
The following steps used to reassemble the following models: CBB315, 420, 520, 525 and
725. Use assembly drawing part numbers 129738 and 152230 for this section.
CAUTION: REPLACE WITH NEW PARTS.
Actuator parts that reect any of the above listed characteristics may need replacement
with new parts.
3.1.4 INSTALLATION LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Use the correct lubrication as
dened in Section 1 step 1.6.
3.1.4.1 Before installation coat all moving parts with lubricant.
3.1.4.2 Coat all seals with lubricant, before installing into seal grooves.

(5-10) onto end cap (4-20).
3.3.12 If removed install stop screw / ES (4-30) into end cap (4-20) and set stop screw to
the approximated setting recorded in Section 2 step 2.1.2.
NOTE:
Position spring cylinder (4-10) so that spring tag (4-60) will be adjacent to accessory
mounting pads located on the actuator housing.
3.3.13 Install end cap (4-20) onto center bar assembly (8-10) by rotating the end cap in a
clockwise direction.
3.3.14 Position the end cap (4-20) so that the breather port is at the bottom and the stop
screw / ES (4-30) is at the top.
WARNING: END CAP INSTALLATION
Do not allow end cap (4-20) to rotate during center bar assembly tightening. The end cap
must maintain the position as described in step 3.3.14.
3.3.15 Keep end cap (4-20) from turning by holding end cap with an adjustable wrench.
3.3.16 Using a ratchet and socket on the center bar assembly nut, rotate center bar
assembly clockwise (CW). This will cause end cap (4-20) to gradually screw further
onto center bar assembly (8-10).

3.3.17 Continue to rotate center bar assembly (8-10) clockwise until spring (4-70) is fully
compressed, the spring cylinder is seated against the ange of housing (1-10) or
adapter (4-15) and end cap (4-20) is properly seated in spring cylinder (4-10).
3.3.18 Tighten center bar assembly (8-10) to the proper torque as specied in the
following chart.

3.3.19 Place seal gasket (5-50) on the exposed end of the center bar assembly (8-10).
3.3.20 Place acorn nut (8-20) on the exposed outboard end of center bar assembly (8-10)
and tighten securely.
3.3.21 Install the stop screw / ES / M3 jackscrew (1-70) for CBB315/415-SR-M3 and non
M3 model actuators as follows:
3.3.21.1 Install stop screw / ES / M3 jackscrew (1-70) into housing (1-10) and
screw in until stop screw contacts the piston.
3.3.21.2 Install o-ring seal (2-30) onto stop screw / ES / M3 jackscrew (1-70) until
it is ush with the housing.
3.3.21.3 Install hex nut (1-80) onto stop screw (1-70) until hand tight.
3.3.22 Install o-ring seal (5-30) onto the stop screw / ES (4-30) until it is ush with the end
cap.
3.3.23 Install new washer (4-90) onto the stop screw / ES (4-30) until it is close to the end
cap
3.3.24 Install hex nut (4-40) onto stop screw / ES (4-30) until hand tight.
3.3.25 Adjust stop screw / ES / M3 jackscrew (1-70) and stop screw / ES (4-30) back to
setting recorded in Section 2 step 2.1.2 under General Disassembly. Tighten both
stop screw hex nuts (4-40) and (1-80) securely, while holding stop screw (1-70)
and (4-30).
3.3.26 M3 hex drive hub or handwheel installation as follows:
3.3.26.1 Install hex drive hub (12-10) or handwheel (12-10) onto M3 jackscrew
(1-70) and align the “hole” of the drive hub with the “hole” located in the
M3 jackscrew.
3.3.26.2 Install retainer ring (12-30) and groove pin (12-20) into the hex drive hub
(12-10) or handwheel (12-10).

Section 4: Actuator Testing
4�1 Actuator testing
4.1.1 Leak Test - General - A small amount of leakage may be tolerated. Generally, a
small bubble which breaks about three seconds after starting to form is considered
acceptable.
4.1.2 All areas, where leakage to atmosphere may occur, are to be checked using a
commercial leak testing solution.
WARNING: MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE
Pressure is not to exceed the maximum operating pressure rating listed on the serial num-
ber tag (20).
4.1.3 All leak testing will use the customer normal operating pressure or the actuator
name tag normal operating pressure (NOP).
NOTE:
When testing the actuator use a proper adjusted regulator to apply pressure to the actuator.
4.1.4 Before testing for leaks, apply and release the pressure listed in step 4.1.3 to the
housing side of the piston. Repeat this cycle approximately ve times. This will
allow the new seals to seek their service condition.
4.1.5 Apply the pressure listed in step 4.1.3 to the housing side of the piston and allow
the actuator to stabilize.
4.1.6 Apply a leak testing solution to the following areas:
4.1.6.1 Spring cylinder to housing joint on CBB315-SR, CBB420-SR, and CBB525-
SR or spring cylinder to cylinder adapter to housing joints on CBB415-SR,
CBB520-SR, and CBB725-SR actuators.
4.1.6.2 On the out board end of housing (1-10) at the center bar assembly nut.
Checks the center bar to housing o-ring seal (5-20).
4.1.6.3 Housing stop screw O-ring seal (2-30).
4.1.6.4 Torque shaft (1-30) to housing (1-10) interface. Check rod wiper seals (2-20).
4.1.6.5 End cap (4-20) port hole. Check the piston to cylinder seal (5-40) and
piston to center bar seal (5-20).
4.1.6.6 Remove pressure from pressure inlet port in the housing (1-10).
4.1.7 If an actuator was disassembled and repaired as a result of this procedure, the
above leakage test must be performed again.
4.1.8 Operational (Functional) Test: This test is used to verify proper function of the actuator.

Section 4: Actuator Testing
Actuator Testing
NOTE:
This test is to be done off of the valve or when valve stem is not coupled to the actuator
torque shaft.
4.1.8.1 Adjust the pressure regulator to the pressure rating that the customer
uses to operate the actuator during normal service.
4.1.8.2 Apply the above pressure to the actuator and allow the actuator to
stabilize. The actuator should stroke a full 90° travel with the stops
properly set.
4�2 Return to service
4.2.1 Install breather (30) into end cap (4-20).
4.2.2 After the actuator is installed back on the valve all accessories should be hooked
up and tested for proper operation and replaced, if found defective.
