What to do if my Emerson Controller has a short stroke?
- JjonesnatalieAug 4, 2025
A short stroke in your Emerson Controller could stem from several causes. Begin by checking the position of the travel stops on the valve and/or actuator and readjust as necessary. Hardened grease can also cause this issue; dismantle the unit, remove any hardened grease, relubricate, and reassemble. Additionally, debris left in the cylinder or housing during maintenance can cause a short stroke; disassemble the cylinder assembly to remove any debris and then reassemble. If these steps don't resolve the issue, consult the valve manufacturer's documentation, as a defective valve could also be the root cause.
