18.0 Grease & Hydraulic Oil Specification
In general, there is no need to lubricate the actuator because
its mechanism is lubricated for life. The standard grease for
Rotork Fluid Systems scotch yoke actuators are shown below.
If an alternative was specified and/or supplied, please refer to
the job specific documentation.
