If your environment is dirty and/or contains abrasive particles it is impor- tant to protect the screw with a boot. If your atmo- sphere is corrosive itis important to specify a non- corrosive material or finish. Duff-Norton can provide Table 2. Decimal Ratios stainless steel, nickel plated or epoxy coated actua- tors. If your duty is high or your use severe, more frequent lubrication should be employed.

These actuators are self-lowering and these Units require a brake or other hold back device. 8. The lubrication procedures for normal and severe service conditions, as described in Section Il paragraph 2-1, should be closely followed, 1-6. Warranty and Warranty Repair Subject to the conditions stated herein, Dutf- Norton will repair or replace, without charge, any parts proven to Duff-Norton's satisfaction to have Se been defective in material or workmanship. Claims must be made within one year after date of ship- ‘ment. Duff-Norton will not repair or replace any Parts that become inoperative because of improper maintenance, eccentric loading, overloading, chemi- cal or abrasive action, excessive wear, or other abuse. Equipment and accessories not of Dutf-Norton's manufacture are warranted only to the extent that they are warranted by the manufacturer, and only if the claimed defect arose during normal use, appli- cations and service. Equipment which has been altered or modified by anyone without Dutf-Norton's authorization is not warranted by Dutt-Norton. EXCEPT AS STATED HEREIN, DUFF-NORTON MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MER- CHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICU- LAR PURPOSE. lf you have any questions concerning warranty repair, please contact Duff-Norton, Authorization for return must be received from Duff-Norton before returning any equipment for inspection or warranty repair. nil Maintenance 2-1. Lubrication Unless otherwise specified, actuators are shipped packed with grease which should be sufti- cient for one month of normal operation. For normal operation, the actuator should be lubricated once a ‘month using Shell Albida LC EP2 grease, (Shell Product Code 70311). This grease has been thoroughly evaluated in Duff-Norton actuators and has demonstrated supe- rior lubricating properties affecting both wear life and maximum duty cycle. Duff-Norton is not aware of an equivalent grease. If this grease is not available in your area please contact your local supplier for their recommendations. Greases con- taining molybdenum disulfide should never be used. For severe service conditions, the actuators should be lubricated more frequently using the above grease (daily to weekly depending upon the conditions). If duty is heavy, an automatic lubrication system is strongly recommended. Note Liting screws should never be run dry. Inspect frequently at regular intervals to be certain that a lubrication film is present. 2-2. Rebuild Procedure Duff-Norton recommends the following proce- dures for assembly and disassembly of actuators. t. Tag critical parts to facilitate reassembly. Mark mating surfaces to ensure proper meshing. Clean and lubricate all parts as required. All seals must be replaced when rebuilding, All screws, washers and other small common arts must be replaced if damaged in any way. Replace damaged or frozen lubrication fitings + with new ones, , yRen 2-3.

Check bearings (7,8, 13 and 18) for seizure, galling or play and replace as required, 2-7. Assembly (Refer to Figure 3-1) 1. To replace expansion plug (4a) in 2 and 5-ton upright and 10-ton inverted units and in 10-ton inverted models; refer to Figure 2-1. For upright models, plug is installed in shell (3) (see Figure 3-1) and in shell cap (2) for inverted units (see Figure 3-1, Detail A). a. Asis appropriate, set shell cap (2) or shell (3) over a steel bar which is approximately 1/ 8" or 3/16" shorter in height than the shell or shell cap. The diameter of the bar should be close to the 1.D. of the shell or shell cap. Place expansion plug (4a) on the bar (con- cave surface down) and flatten the plug against the bar. Use a large diameter punch oF press making sure that the plug is flat- tened throughout its entire diameter. 2. For models with tapered load bearings, press bearing cones on worm gear (6) with small end of cone facing away from gear surface. Be sure that cone is seated properly against shoulder. 3. Insert key (22) in screw (6). 4. Assemble worm gear (6) on screw (5). For counter-bored worm gears, counter-bore must face away from screw threads. 5. Thread locknut (20) onto screw (5) and tum tightly against gear (6). Be sure assembly is locknut (20) and lock in place (if rotating screw or locknut are new, respot screw for set screw). Note ‘On some locknuts, the tapped set screw hole is not centered, and the locknut should be as- sembled with the tapped hole located as far as Possible from the gear face, 6. Press worm bearings (15) onto worm (14), making certain that they are seated properly against the worm shoulder. Note When tapered roller bearings are used, the small end of the cone should point towards the ‘end of the worm shaft. 7. Inverted units only. Install guide bushing (16) in shell (3). Guide bushing must be flush with base. Lock guide busing in place by peening on + the thread O.D. of the bushing and shell with a center punch. 8. Install bottom load bearing (8) [top load bearing (7) of 100 and 150-ton models] in shell (3). 9. Install worm (14) and bearing (or bearing cone) assembly (15) in shell. On units with tapered roller worm bearings, install bearing cups in shell. Note For some units, itis easier to assemble worm and bearing assembly after the worm gear is in place. (See Step 12). 10. Press oil seal (13) into flanges (11).Note The sealing element of the seal should face inward. 11. Assemble worm flanges (11) with shims (12) and bolt in place with cap screws (9) and lock- washers (10). This should be accomplished carefully to prevent cutting of seal on worm keyway. 12. install sorew (5) and worm gear (6). Note : For some units it is easier to install worm and bearing assembly after gear and screw assem- bly are in place (see Step 9). Note After worm, worm gear and screw assembly are in place with flanges assembled, strike each end of worm shaft sharply with a. soft face hammer to set bearing properly. Recheck flange bolts for tightness. Worm should turn freely with minimum drag and end play. If too much end play is present, remove shims as required. If worm does not turn freely, add shims as required. 13, Assemble top load bearing (7) [bottom load bearing (8) for 100 and 150-ton models] onto worm gear (6). Note For units with tapered load bearings, assemble bearing cup in shell cap (2) [base plate for 100 and 150-ton model}. 14. Fill shell (3) approximately one half full of grease and install grease fitting (17). 15. For all models except 100 and 150-ton - Install shell cap (2) and screw down until tight. Note ‘Shell cap flange does not necessarily have to bear against top of shell. There will usually be a gap. This will put a slight drag on worm. If worm is hard to turn, back off slightly on shell cap. For all 100 and 150-ton models - install base Place and screw down base plate until tight. Note This should put a slight drag on the worm. If the worm is hard to turn, back off slightly on the base plate. Be sure base plate does not project past base surface of housing. 16. Install set screws (1) in shell cap (2) [100 and 150-ton models install lock screw], locking shell cap (base plate) in place. Tap shell cap or base plate sharply with hammer and re-tighten set screw. Note | new parts have been installed, it may be necessary to re-spot holes for these screws. 17. For all units except those with expansion plugs, install pipe (4) in shell (3) for upright models (base plate for 100 and 150-ton units) or in shell cap (2) for inverted models (shell for 100 and “ 150-ton units). 18. Brush screw (5) with light film of grease and thread lifting nut (23) on screw (5). The face of lifting nut flange should be toward shell (2). 19. Operate unit by hand to insure proper function- ing of all components prior to installation and use, Assembly is now complete.GO Tws Pace Ds BlankSection Ill Illustrated Parts List 3-1.
