MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1.0 INTRODUCTION
G.T. Attuatori offers a largest ranges of pneumatic rack and pinion actuators . Conceived for the installation on
valves of control of the fluids, which ball valves, butterfly valves, etc.and have fed with pressed air.
The actuarors are built for operate with a maximum pressure of 10 Bar., and tested for an operational least life
of 1 million of manoeuvres.
The greasing performed during the assemblage guarantees a correct lubrication of the actuators for at least
500.000 manoeuvres.
actuators are designed to operate within the pressure range of 1.4 Bar (20 PSIG) to 10 Bar (142 PSIG)
and are offered in two styles:
- DOUBLE ACTING: Available with rotation of 90°, 120° e 180° .
- SPRING RETURN: Available with rotation of 90°.
The double acting and spring return actuators can easily be field converted to the other configuration by
insertion or removal of the unique patented G.T. Attuatori spring cartridges.
2.0 STORAGE
All G.T. Attuatori actuators are factory lubricated for life.
The actuator ports are plugged to prevent liquids or other materials from entering the actuator during shipment.
If the actuators are to be stored for a long period of time before installation, the units should be stroked
periodically to prevent the seals from setting. (Note: the plugs must be removed in order to stroke actuators).
Storage should be indoors and the units should be protected against humidity and other harmful elements.
