12. Maintenance and Repair
Under the conditions of use as per specification as lined out in the data sheet, the PS-AMS
actuators are free of maintenance. All gears are lubricated for their service life and do not
require to be re-lubricated.
Clean the actuators with a dry soft cloth and do not use any cleaning agent. Do not use any
coarse or abrasive materials.
13. Safety on Transportation
For transportation and storage all cable glands and connection flanges have to be closed to prevent ingress of
moisture and dirt. A suitable method of packaging is required for transporting to avoid damage of coating and any
external parts of the actuator.
