Disassembly
1. Remove the cylinder body assembly from the actuator body by removing the retainer ring cap
screws.
2. Rotate the shaft until one piston contacts the actuator body. Further rotation of the shaft will
remove the piston from the rack.
3. Remove the remaining piston and rack as a unit from the actuator body. Lift out the rack support
piece.
4. Use a hex key to loosen the shaft bearing set screw. The shaft and pinion assembly and the front
bearing may now be removed from the housing.
5. Clean and inspect all parts, replacing any that are worn.
Re-Assembly
1. Place rack support piece in position in actuator body.
2. Assemble one piston to rack. Lubricate rack with bearing grade grease and insert through central
housing. Press second piston onto rack. (A small press may be necessary.)
3. Lubricate seals and inside surface of the cylinder bodies with oil. Assemble the cylinder body
assembly over the piston and center in pilot recess of housing. Secure with retaining ring and
cap screws. Recommended tightening torque as follows: 9/16"– 10 in.-lbs.; 3/4" and 1-1/16"– 12
in.-lbs.; 1-1/2" and 2"– 20 in.-lbs.
4. Lubricate shaft bearing lightly with oil. Lubricate pinion with bearing grade grease. Slide shaft-
pinion assembly into position engaging pinion teeth to rack for desired orientation of shaft key.
5. Slide front shaft bearing into place allowing the set screw to engage the notch on outer diam-
eter.
6. Proper axial running clearance of bearings is achieved by placing assembled unit on a bench
with shaft vertically upward. Manually rotate unit to verify smooth operation. Press down on front
bearing to assure its proper positioning against pinion and rear bearing. Release pressure on
the front bearing and secure by tightening set screw. DO NOT place pressure on bearing while
tightening set screw.
7. Recheck for smooth effortless operation. Unit is now ready for service.
Ball Bearing (R Option) Repair
(NOTE: The side from which the logo can be read is considered the front.) Care should be taken
when removing and installing the ball bearings to prevent damage to the ball bearings or actuator.
The housing should always be secured and an arbor press used to press the ball bearings into or
out of the housing, using only the inner and outer races of the bearing.
TO REMOVE THE BEARINGS: Remove the rear-retaining ring and press the shaft and pinion as-
sembly (including the front bearing) out of the housing from the back side. The front retaining ring,
the front ball bearing and shims can then be removed from the shaft. Finally, the rear ball bearing
can be pressed out of the housing.
3/4" BEARING REMOVAL: Use a screw driver to remove the retaining ring. Remove the front ball
bearing, shaft spacers and gear/shaft assembly by pressing the shaft from the rear side of the
housing.
TO INSTALL THE BEARINGS: Press the rear bearing into the rear of the housing. Press the shaft/
pinion assembly into the rear bearing. Next, press the shaft and pinion assembly through the rear
bearing from the front side of the housing and attach the rear retaining ring. Finally, press the front
bearing over the shaft and into the housing and attach the front retaining ring. (Shims are used as
needed to reduce axial play.)
3/4" BEARING INSTALLATION: After assembling rear bearing as stated above, assemble the
front and rear shaft spacers on the shaft. Then, proceed to assemble the shaft/pinion assembly as
stated above.
