Electrostatic Discharge Awareness

Electrostatic

Precautions

Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the

following precautions to prevent damage to these parts:

Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to

the control turned off, contact a grounded surface and maintain

contact while handling the control).

Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic

versions) around printed circuit boards.

Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit

board with your hands or with conductive devices.

To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper

handling, read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual

82715

, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls,

Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules.

Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.

1. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing made of synthetic

materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much as possible because these do not store

static electric charges as much as synthetics.

2. Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet unless absolutely necessary.

If you must remove the PCB from the control cabinet, follow these precautions:

Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.

Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the components with conductive

devices or with your hands.

When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic protective bag it comes in

until you are ready to install it. Immediately after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet,

place it in the antistatic protective bag.

Lubrication Procedure

Introduction

The only maintenance required for the ELA is lubricating the roller screw, gears, and bearings every

32,000 hours in accordance with the descriptions below.

Explosion Hazard

Do not remove covers or connect/disconnect electrical connectors

unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-

hazardous

Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class 1,

Division 2 or Zone 2 applications.

To prevent possible serious personal injury, or damage to equipment,

be sure all electric power, hydraulic pressure, and gas pressure have

been removed from the actuator before be

innin

maintenance.

Lift or handle the actuator only by using the specific lifting locations

as noted on the installation drawing. The product weight is stated in

the specifications section.

Due to typical noise levels in turbine environments, hearing

protection should be worn when working on or around the electric

actuator.

Never put your hands near the output shaft. There are moving

components with sharp edges, tight clearances, and large closing

forces. Actuator position should only be verified by using the visual

position indicator on the side of the actuator clevis.

The surface of this product can become hot enough or cold enough to

be a hazard. Use protective gear for product handling in these

circumstances. Temperature ratings are included in the specification

section of this manual.

Use only Woodward-approved grease to lubricate the roller screw,

gears and bearing in this actuator. Use of any other grease will reduce

performance and reliabilit

. Woodward lubrication kits are available.

Manual 35128 ELA21/28 Lubrication Procedure

Woodward 6

This procedure contains instructions on the proper techniques and equipment for proper lubrication of the

Electric Linear Actuator (ELA). Images illustrate where the grease ports are located and the adaptor

properly installed in the actuator to ensure efficient and effective application of adequate lubricants to

keep the ELA working according to manufacturer’s specifications. Prior to beginning the procedure,

Figures 7-2 and 7-3 show you where the grease ports are located.

Grease Kit

This kit will arrive in a bag with a part number and revision number printed on the outside of the bag.

Each kit contains multiple syringes with a premeasured amount of grease. Do not refill the syringes.

Please refer to the product manual for the correct grease kit part number or contact your Woodward

service provider to confirm the recommended grease kit. The correct grease kit should be used for each

corresponding actuator, ensuring that grease is not cross contaminated.

For the shallow grease ports represented in Figures 1-1 and 1-2, insert the syringe with the adapter

attached and depress the plunger until the recommended volume of grease is dispensed into the grease

port. Reuse the adaptor for each syringe during the greasing operation.

Grease Port Locations

The ELA has six grease ports: two ports on the side, two ports on top, and one port on the bottom of the

actuator base. Use these to lubricate the gear and bearing assembly. One port (Grease Port 6, Fig. 1-2)

is located on the actuator body and is where to lubricate the roller screw assembly.

Figure 1-2 shows the locations of these ports. All of the plugs require a ¼-inch hex wrench to remove

them prior to installing the re-greasing adaptor 1249-1338.

Figure 1-1. Grease Port Locations

There are two different procedures to lubricate the ELA. One is lubricating the gear and bearing assembly

and two is lubricating the roller screw assembly.

Gear and Bearing Lubrication Procedure (Ports 1-5)

Lubricating the Gear and Bearing Assembly (See Fig. 1-2)

1. Clean the outside of the actuator to ensure that no debris gets inside the actuator during the

lubrication process. Any debris in the gears and bearings will reduce its life.

2. Remove the plugs and inject grease into each port using the Grease Syringe 8923-2283 as displayed

in Figure 7-3 below.

3. Set the plugs aside and keep clean, ensuring that the inside plug surface is not scratched or marred.

4. Attach the thread connector of the grease syringe to the threaded bearing grease port. Fully seat the

fitting.

5. Inject 4 cm³ of Woodward approved grease into the bearing grease port.

6. Remove the grease syringe from the bearing port and install the port plug. Torque to 2.5–3.2 Nꞏm /

22–28 lb.-in.

7. Repeat this process for all five gear/bearing access ports.

Roller Screw Lubrication Procedure (Port 6)

Lubricating the Roller Screw Assembly (See Fig. 1-3)

1. Clean the outside of the actuator to ensure that no debris gets inside the actuator during the

lubrication process. Any debris on the internal components will reduce its life.

2. Command the actuator to the 0% position so that the Roller Screw Port Plug will align with the Roller

Screw Grease Port per Figure 7-3.

3. Remove the roller screw port plug with a 1/4 inch hex wrench.

4. Set the plugs aside and keep clean, ensuring that the inside plug surface is not scratched or marred.

5. Attach the thread connector of the grease syringe to the threaded grease port of the roller screw.

Fully seat the fitting.

6. Inject 4 cm³ of Woodward approved grease (3901-1003) into the roller screw grease port.

7. Remove the grease syringe from the roller screw grease port and install the roller screw port plug and

torque the port plug to 2.5–3.2 Nꞏm / 22–28 lb.-in (Figure 7-1).
