7.1.2 Reconditioning the Stack (Converter, Booster, and Horn)
Stack components function with greatest efficiency when the mating interface surfaces are in proper condi-
tion. For 20 and 30 kHz products, a Branson Mylar® washer should be installed between the horn and
booster and horn and converter. Replace the washer if torn or perforated. Stacks using Mylar washers
should be inspected periodically.
Stacks used with silicone grease, as with certain 20 kHz installations and with all 40 kHz products, should
be periodically reconditioned to eliminate fretting corrosion. A stack using silicone grease should be
inspected periodically for corrosion. When experience is gained for specific stacks, the inspection interval
can be adjusted to a longer or shorter period as required. For correct stack interface reconditioning proce-
dures, refer to Chapter 7 of the 2000 aef Actuator Instruction Manual.
7.1.3 Routine Component Replacement
The lifetime of certain parts is based on the number of cycles the unit has completed, or on hours of oper-
ation, e.g., at 20,000 hours, cooling fans should be replaced.
