Section 2: Maintenance

Maintenance

Section 2: Maintenance

! CAUTION

This CAUTION only applies for FQ actuators (Fail-Safe Actuators). Maintenance work on open

actuators may only be conducted if these are de-energized. Re-energizing during maintenance

is strictly prohibited. Work on the electrical system or equipment must be carried out only in

accordance with electrical regulations by a qualied electrician or by specially instructed personnel

under the control and supervision of a qualied electrician.

! CAUTION

This CAUTION only applies for FQ actuators (Fail-Safe Actuators). When the actuator is de-energized,

the actuator will return to the fail-safe position. If this is not the case, inspect the shaft valve for a

mechanical jam condition. This condition might increase the torque requirement and increase

stroke time. To avoid this condition, it is recommended to perform routine checks of the fail-safe

function, check the operating time and smoothness of the running in fail-safe operation at least

every 3 months.

! CAUTION

This CAUTION only applies for FQ actuators (Fail-Safe Actuators). The actuator has a pre-stressed coil

spring or disk spring assembly, when undoing the ange mounting bolts, the spring force against the

valve can cause the actuator to turn abruptly or become loose from the valve. Improper disassembly

may lead to both damage to the actuator as well as serious injuries! If maintenance work is needed

requiring the actuator to be disassembled, contact Emerson regarding detailed instructions and/or

special purpose tools for relaxing the spring assembly.

! CAUTION

For explosionproof actuators, it is necessary before opening the cover to wait a certain time

after switching off, see explosion protection sticker (Figure 1). Following times are specied for

the actuators (it applies for all RTS actuators).

• CM32: 5 min.

• CM64: 10 min.

Section 2: Maintenance

Maintenance

Figure 1 Explosion Protection Sticker

Actuators are ready for use after installation. By default, the actuator is delivered lled with oil.

On-going monitoring:

• Beware of increased running noise. During long downtime periods, operate the actuator at

least every 3 months.

• For actuators with output types A, B and C according to DIN 3210-A, B1, B2 and C

according to DIN ISO 5210, re-lubricate at least every 6 months on existing grease ttings

(see Section 3.3).

Actuators are designed for installation in any position. Therefore, the main body is not equipped

with a level indication or a drain plug. The replacement of the lubricant from the main body must be

performed via the handwheel.

Every approx. 10,000 to 20,000 hours (about 5 years, see Section 3), depending on the workload,

you must:

• Change oil, and

• Replace seals

Check all roller bearings and the worm-wheel assembly and replace if necessary.

Check our lubricants table for recommended oils and greases (see Section 3).

Check the cable glands at regular intervals (annually) for tightness of the cables and retighten

if necessary.

If the visual inspection (eg. dust or water penetration) indicates that the effectiveness of the sealing

elements of the cable entry has suffered damage or aging, such elements have to be replaced

preferably by using the original spare parts from the manufacturer of the equipment or through

cable entries of comparable quality as well as the same ex- or IP protection class. If screws need to be

replaced, it is preferable to use original replacement parts. The tensile strength of the screws must be

at least 400 N/mm2.

acid-free, little or not water-reactive

3.3 Basic Lubricant Service Interval

! CAUTION

The service interval for RTS CM Compact Series actuators is ten years from the shipping date,

Emerson. However, the functionality and service life of the lubricants depends on the operating

conditions. Reduction factors have to be taken into consideration if applicable.
