SECTION 2 - ACTUATOR DISASSEMBLY

2.1 GENERAL DISASSEMBLY

WARNING: It is possible, that the actuator may contain a dangerous gas and/or liquids.
Ensure that all proper measures have been taken to prevent exposure or
release of these types of contaminants before commencing any work.

CAUTION: Pressure applied to the actuator is not to exceed the maximum operating
pressure rating listed on the actuator name tag.

NOTE: Before starting the general disassembly of the actuator it is a good practice to operate
actuator with the pressure used by the customer to operate the actuator during normal
operation. Notate and record any abnormal symptoms such as jerky or erratic operation.

2.1.1 Remove all operating pressure from actuator, allowing the spring to stroke. The spring will
rotate the yoke to its fail position.

2.1.2 Record the settings of stop screw / ES / M3 jackscrew (1-70) and stop screw / ES (4-30)
before they are loosened or removed.

NOTE: In place of stop screws the actuator may be equipped with one or two ES (ES = Extended
Stops) or one M3/M3HW (1-70) located on outboard end of housing (1-10).

2.2 SPRING CYLINDER DISASSEMBLY

NOTE: Review Section 2 steps 2.1.1 through 2.1.2 before proceeding with spring cylinder
disassembly.

CAUTION: The spring in CBA Series Spring Return Actuators are preloaded.

WARNING: Actuator must be disassembled in the following manner.

2.2.1 Remove hex nut (1-80) as follows: CBA315 through CBA725 standard housing stop screw
or extended stop (ES) use step 2.2.1.1. CBA315-SR-M3/M3HW through
CBA725-SR-M3/M3HW use step 2.2.1.2.

2.2.1.1 CBA315 through CBA725 housing stop screw or extended stop screw (ES)

2.2.1.1.1 Loosen and remove hex nut (1-80) and washer (1-90) from stop
screw (1-70) located in housing (1-10).

2.2.1.1.2 Remove stop screw (1-70) from the end of housing (1-10).

NOTE: CBA420/CBA520/CBA525/CBA725-SR-M3 or M3HW models the M3

jackscrew (1-70) can not be removed now. The M3 jackscrew used in
these models can be removed later in this procedure per step 2.3.7.

2.2.2 Loosen and remove hex nut (4-40) and washer (4-90) from end cap stop screw (4-30) or
from end cap extended stop (4-30).

NOTE: Extended stop or end cap stop screw (4-30) does not require removal from end cap (4-20)
unless replacing with a new extended stop or stop screw.

2.2.4 Remove acorn nut (8-20) and gasket seal (5-50) from end cap (4-20).

2.2.5 Use a ratchet and socket on the welded nut, located on the housing end of center bar
assembly (8-10), rotate center bar assembly (8-10) counter-clockwise (CCW). This will
cause end cap (4-20) to gradually unscrew from center bar assembly (8-10).

NOTE: The end cap (4-20) can be held in position by holding the end cap (4-20) with an adjustable
wrench.

2.2.6 Continue to rotate center bar assembly (8-10) counter-clockwise (CCW) until the spring
preload is eliminated. As preload is reduced it may be necessary to keep end cap (4-20)
from turning.

2.2.7 After the spring preload is eliminated, unscrew and remove end cap (4-20) from center bar
assembly (8-10).

2.2.8 Remove spring (4-70) from within spring cylinder (4-10).

3.3.12 If removed install stop screw / ES (4-30) into end cap (4-20) and set stop screw to the
approximated setting recorded in Section 2 step 2.1.2.

NOTE: Position spring cylinder (4-10) so that spring tag (4-60) will be adjacent to accessory
mounting pads located on the actuator housing.

3.3.13 Install end cap (4-20) onto center bar assembly (8-10) by rotating the end cap in a
clockwise direction.

3.3.14 Position the end cap (4-20) so that the breather port is at the bottom and the stop screw /
ES (4-30) is at the top.

WARNING: Do not allow end cap (4-20) to rotate during center bar assembly tightening.
The end cap must maintain the position as described in step 3.3.14.

3.3.15 Keep end cap (4-20) from turning by holding end cap with an adjustable wrench.

3.3.16 Using a ratchet and socket on the center bar assembly nut, rotate center bar assembly
clockwise (CW). This will cause end cap (4-20) to gradually screw further onto center bar
assembly (8-10).

3.3.21.2 Install o-ring seal (2-30) onto stop screw / ES / M3 jackscrew (1-70) until it is flush
with the housing.

3.3.21.3 Install hex nut (1-80) onto stop screw (1-70) until hand tight.

3.3.22 Install o-ring seal (5-30) onto the stop screw / ES (4-30) until it is flush with the end cap.

3.3.23 Install new washer (4-90) onto the stop screw / ES (4-30) until it is close to the end cap

3.3.24 Install hex nut (4-40) onto stop screw / ES (4-30) until hand tight.

3.3.25 Adjust stop screw / ES / M3 jackscrew (1-70) and stop screw / ES (4-30) back to setting
recorded in Section 2 step 2.1.2 under General Disassembly. Tighten both stop screw hex
nuts (4-40) and (1-80) securely, while holding stop screw (1-70) and (4-30).

3.3.26 M3 hex drive hub or handwheel installation as follows:

3.3.26.1 Install hex drive hub (12-10) or handwheel (12-10) onto M3 jackscrew (1-70) and
align the “hole” of the drive hub with the “hole” located in the M3 jackscrew.

3.3.26.2 Install retainer ring (12-30) and groove pin (12-20) into the hex drive hub (12-10) or
handwheel (12-10).

SECTION 4 - ACTUATOR TESTING

4.1 ACTUATOR TESTING

4.1.1 Leak Test - General - A small amount of leakage may be tolerated. Generally, a small
bubble which breaks about three seconds after starting to form is considered acceptable.

4.1.2 All areas, where leakage to atmosphere may occur, are to be checked using a commercial
leak testing solution.

WARNING: Pressure is not to exceed the maximum operating pressure rating listed on
the serial number tag (20).

4.1.3 All leak testing will use the customer normal operating pressure or the actuator name tag
normal operating pressure (NOP). NOTE: When testing the actuator use a proper
adjusted regulator to apply pressure to the actuator.

4.1.4 Before testing for leaks, apply and release the pressure listed in step 4.1.3 to the housing
side of the piston. Repeat this cycle approximately five times. This will allow the new seals
to seek their service condition.

4.1.5 Apply the pressure listed in step 4.1.3 to the housing side of the piston and allow the
actuator to stabilize.

4.1.6 Apply a leak testing solution to the following areas:

4.1.6.1 Spring cylinder to housing joint on CBA315-SR, CBA420-SR, and CBA525-SR or

spring cylinder to cylinder adapter to housing joints on CBA415-SR, CBA520-SR,
and CBA725-SR actuators.

4.1.6.2 On the out board end of housing (1-10) at the center bar assembly nut. Checks the
center bar to housing o-ring seal (5-20).

4.1.6.3 Housing stop screw o-ring seal (2-30).

4.1.6.4 Torque shaft (1-30) to housing (1-10) interface. Checks rod wiper seals (2-20).

4.1.6.5 End cap (4-20) port hole. Checks the piston to cylinder seal (5-40) and piston to
center bar seal (5-20).

4.1.6.6 Remove pressure from pressure inlet port in the housing (1-10).

4.1.7 If an actuator was disassembled and repaired as a result of this procedure, the above
leakage test must be performed again.

4.1.8 Operational (Functional) Test: This test is used to verify proper function of the actuator.

NOTE: This test is to be done off of the valve or when valve stem is not coupled to the actuator
torque shaft.

4.1.8.1 Adjust the pressure regulator to the pressure rating that the customer uses to
operate the actuator during normal service.

4.1.8.2 Apply the above pressure to the actuator and allow the actuator to stabilize. The
actuator should stroke a full 90° travel with the stops properly set.

4.2 RETURN TO SERVICE

4.2.1 Install breather (30) into end cap (4-20).

4.2.2 After the actuator is installed back on the valve all accessories should be hooked up and
tested for proper operation and replaced, if found defective.
