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). This can also be achieved by removing the
connection hood.
– Prevent accidental reconnection.
– Conrm that equipment is not live.
– Ground and short-circuit equipment.
– Fit barriers or covers to neighboring live components.
7�1 General information
The actuators are virtually maintenance-free (for relubrication intervals,
refer to chapter „7.2 Lubrication intervals and lubricants“).
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 xing components have not become loose,
■
no leakages occur.
The housing of the SEVEN actuator consists of an aluminum alloy which is corrosion resistant un-
der normal environmental conditions. If the paint was damaged during assembly, it can be touched
up with original paint supplied in small quantity units by the service.
This list cannot cover every eventuality. Further checks may be necessary in accordance with the
plant-specic conditions. Any impermissible deviations or changes detected during inspection must
be rectied immediately.
Under normal operation conditions, service or inspection of the devices is recommended every
8 years, including storage time. The following maintenance work also has to be performed:
■
Replace lubricant within gear housing,
■
replace seals,
■
check all parts within the direct power drive for wear,
■
tighten screw connections of electrical connections.
Depending on the operation conditions, shorter maintenance intervals may be required
This applies in particular to actuators in high temperature version – add. version T09. They have to
be checked for proper condition by the service every 2 years and wear parts have to be replaced!
Replace all seals after continuous immersion within the framework of an inspection.
It is recommended that the services of the local SIPOS Aktorik service center are utilized for this
purpose.
