Before any work is carried out on the actuator, ensure that
■
the planned measures (possible operation of valves, etc.) will not result in injury to persons or
faults in the plant,
■
the actuator or plant section is properly isolated. In addition to the main circuits, also check that
any additional or auxiliary circuits are disconnected!
Furthermore, the general safety regulations have to be observed :
■
Disconnect all poles (also 24 V DC),
■
Prevent accidental reconnection,
■
Confi rm that equipment is not live,
■
Earth and short-circuit equipment,
■
Fit barriers or covers to neighboring live components.
8.1 General
The actuators are virtually maintenance-free (for the relubrication intervals, refer to chapter 8.2).
We recommend submitting the actuators after commissioning or after approx. 50 operation hours to
a general inspection to verify that
■
correct functioning is guaranteed,
■
no unusual noises/vibration occur,
■
the fi xing components have not become loose,
■
no leakages occur.
The housing of the SIPOS 5 actuators consists of an aluminum alloy which is corrosion resistant
under normal environmental conditions. If the paint was damaged during assembly, it can be tou-
ched up with original paint supplied in small quantity units by SIPOS Aktorik.
This list cannot cover every eventuality. Further checks may be necessary in accordance with the
plant-specifi c conditions. Any impermissible deviations or changes detected during inspection must
be rectifi ed immediately.
Under normal operation conditions, service or inspection of the devices is recommended every 8
years (including storage time). Hereby following work shall be carried out:
■
Change the lubricant in the gear case,
■
Exchange the seals,
■
Check all parts within the direct fl ux of force for wear,
■
Tighten the screw connections for electrical connections.
Depending on the operation conditions, shorter maintenance intervals may be required.
This is especially important for actuators in high-temperature version - additional order code T09.
These must be inspected every two years by the SIPOS-Service and wear parts must be replaced!
It is recommended that the services of the local SIPOS Aktorik service center are utilized for this
purpose.
Please contact SIPOS Aktorik GmbH for any service requests. You can fi nd the address and the
phone number of your competent contact at www.sipos.de. You may also send your requests
