Do not attempt to remove the pistons from the actuator body by using air pressure when the end caps
have been removed
1.3. Product Identification
The actuator name plate is located on the up side of the body. The name plate contains the
following:
1.3.1. Marking
① General
Logo (trade mark), Model, Type, Fail position, Manufactured year & month, Fluid, Design
pressure & temperature, Operating air pressure, Hydrostatic test pressure, Manufacturer
address & telephone number. If the markings are not applicable on the label, the marking
can be substituted to indicate on the test report.
② CE/PED certified body code (TUV SUD CE0036)
1.3.2. Applied directive and Standard
① 2014/68/EU Annex III, Module H (reference : 97/23/EC), DGR-0036-QS-1060-14,
1.3.3. Certification range
① HP-180DA/SR~HP-212DA/SR (Up to HP-160 models were self-declared)
Non-electric explosion proof protective system by 94/9/EC, 09TH0074
② Applicable ambient temperature
Standard product with NBR is applicable from -20℃ to +80℃ (-4℉ ~ +176℉)
Optionally, FKM O-ring : from -20℃ to +180℃, VMQ O-ring : from -40℃ to +176℃
However the O-ring was used as optional materials, if users have to operate at extremely
hot or cold condition such as under -20℃ or over +80℃, it shall be confirmed HKC Co.,
Ltd.
③ Design Pressure : 12 bar, Operation pressure : 8 bar max
1.4. Initial Inspection
Upon on the receipt of the actuator, the user should inspect the condition of the product and
ensure that product specification stated in the name plate matches with the order sheet.
1.4.1. Remove the packing wrap or wooden box carefully. Inspect the product for any physical
damage that may have occurred during shipment.
1.4.2. Check the product specification with product ordered. If a wrong product has been shipped,
immediately inform to our coordinator.
1.5. Storage
Actuators must be stored in a clean, cool and dry area. The unit should be stored with the air
port openings sealed. Storage must be off the floor, covered with a sealed dust protector. When
actuators are to be stored outdoor, they must be stored off the ground, high enough to prevent
from being immersed in water or buried in snow.
1.6. Installation
1.6.1. During the installation, be careful so that dust and metal pieces do not enter the actuator
through Inlet / Outlet port.
1.6.2. When connecting air pipe to NPT tap, be careful so that excessive power cannot be given
to the PF tap in the starting point of the screws because the PF tap can be worn easily.
1.6.3. Speed controllers have to be used only for controlling speed in opening / closing. Regulator
cannot be used for the same purpose.
1.6.4. In case of air supply in the product, it is a general rule to use dry air without any dust.
1.6.5. The temperature around the actuators must be below 80°C. If the temperature is over
80°C, smooth operation cannot be guaranteed. For use in low temperatures, consult the
manufacturer prior to order.
1.6.6. Shock and overpower from external forces should not be applied to the actuators.
