7.2 Stroke adjustment
Important
It is assumed that the following instructions are executed in the workshop
using oil as the power fluid.
Instructions are applicable when the actuator is already installed on the valve.
It is important that the travel stops of the actuator (and not those of the valve) stop the linear stroke at
upper end of valve position, except when this is required by the valve operation.
The setting of the open/closed valve position (upward position) is performed by adjusting the travel stop
screw into the end flange of the hydraulic cylinder and by the adjustment of the coupling of valve stem to
actuator joint for the downward position.
For the adjustment of the travel stop screw in the end flange of the hydraulic cylinder proceed as follows
(Fig.5):
- Loosen the plug (3.4) from the travel stop protection (3.2) keeping the latter locked with a proper
wrench key.
- Adjust the valve stroke screw/unscrew the travel stop screw (3.1)
- After detected the right position, tight the travel stop protection (3.2) against the cylinder end flange
keeping the stopper screw (3.1) locked Screw the plug (3.4) into the travel stop protection (3.2).

After stroke adjustment, operate the actuator with hydraulic supply to check that the
actuator moves properly and that there are no leakages.
