    What to do if unable to operate Flowserve Controller actuator by motor?
    • T
      Teresa DavisAug 7, 2025
      If you're unable to operate your Flowserve Controller actuator by motor, begin by verifying the motor power and control circuits for both supply and continuity. Then, check that the supply voltage matches the motor and controller's nameplate rating. If these are correct, measure the motor's amperage load. If the motor is stalled, immediately shut off the power and use the handwheel to manually move the valve.

      If you're experiencing excessive handwheel effort with your Flowserve Controller, check the lubrication method and valve stem for any damage. Also, ensure the valve packing gland isn't too tight and that the valve is properly lubricated. See if the stem nut is too tight on the valve stem. Finally, inspect the valve and its parts for any faults or damage.

    How to troubleshoot geared limit switch fails to stop valve travel on Flowserve Controller?
    • S
      Sandra EllisAug 27, 2025
      If the geared limit switch fails to stop valve travel on your Flowserve Controller, examine the control wiring and motor reversing contactor. Check the geared limit switch setting and ensure the setting rod has been backed off after each side of the switch has been set. If problems persist, remove the limit switch and inspect it for damaged or broken gear teeth.
