Section 11: Actuator Testing
Actuator Testing
Section 11: Actuator Testing
1. All areas, where leakage to atmosphere may occur, are to be checked using a
leak testing solution. If excessive leakage is noted (generally a bubble which
breaks three seconds or less after starting to form), the actuator must be
disassembled and the cause of leakage must be determined and corrected.
2. Before leak testing may be accomplished, it will be necessary to provide
a piping system whereby pressure may be applied simultaneously to all
common pressure ports.
3. All leak testing will use 65 psig pneumatic pressure.
4. Before testing for leaks, alternately apply and release the 65 psig pressure
to each side of the pistons to stroke the actuator fully in each direction.
Repeat this cycle approximately five times. This will allow the new seals
to seek their service condition.
5. Simultaneously apply 65 psig pressure to the pressure ports in the end of
the right side cylinder (3) or cylinder assembly M3 (3-10) and in the left side
cylinder adapter (2-30).
6. Apply leak testing solution to the following areas:
a. The pressure inlet port in the left side cylinder adapter (2-30), checks
piston to cylinder and piston to piston rod seals.
b. The pressure inlet port hole in the end of the right side cylinder, checks
the piston to cylinder wall and piston to piston rod seals.
c. The threaded joint between the right side cylinder and right side
cylinder adapter (2-30), checks the cylinder to cylinder adapter O-ring
seal.
d. The joint between the right side cylinder adapter and the housing.
e. The snubber port hole located in the housing, checks the cylinder
adapter to piston rod seal.
7. Remove pressure from the pressure ports in the end of the right side cylinder
(3) or cylinder assembly M3 (3-10) and in the left side cylinder adapter (2-30).
8. Simultaneously apply 65 psig pressure to the pressure ports in the end of
the left side cylinder (3) or cylinder assembly M3 (3-10) and in the right side
cylinder adapter (2-30).
9. Apply leak testing solution to the following areas:
a. The pressure inlet port in the left side cylinder adapter (2-30), checks
piston to cylinder and piston to piston rod seals.

seal.
d. The joint between the right side cylinder adapter and the housing.
e. The snubber port hole located in the housing, checks the cylinder
adapter to piston rod seal.
10. Remove pressure from the pressure ports in the end of the right side cylinder
(3) or cylinder assembly M3 (3-10) and in the left side cylinder adapter (2-30).
11. If an actuator was disassembled and repaired, the above leakage test must be
performed again.

NOTE:
These screws will need to be rechecked for tightness after the actuator has been cycled.
6. For actuators equipped with a M3 jackscrew and require an optional handwheel,
install the handwheel using the following procedure:
a. Place the handwheel (8-10) onto the M3 and over the pinned nut
(the handwheel hub has a cast hexagon hole that fits over the pinned
nut).
b. Place lock washer (8-20) onto M3 up against handwheel hub.
c. Place hex nut (8-30) onto M3 and thread up against lock washer, torque
