6.1.
Preventive measures for servicing and safe operation
●
Before commissioning, perform visual inspection for grease leakage and paint
damage (corrosion).
●
Thoroughly touch up any possible damage to paint. Original paint in small
quantities can be supplied by AUMA.
After six months and then once a year: Check gearbox for damage as well as for
grease and oil leakage.
6.2.
Maintenance intervals
Recommendation for plants subject to strong vibration
●
For plants subject to strong vibration, 6 months after commissioning and then
once a year: Check fastening screws between actuator and gearbox/valve for
tightness. If required, fasten screws while applying the tightening torques as
indicated in chapter <Assembly>. For screws sealed and secured with e.g.
thread sealing material, this action is not required.
Recommendation for grease change and seal replacement:
●
If rarely operated (typically in buried service), the gearboxes are maintenance-
free. Grease change or re-lubrication is not necessary.
●
If operated frequently (typically in modulating duty), we recommend changing
both grease and seals after 4 – 6 years.
Gearing damage due to using inappropriate grease!
→
Only use original lubricants supplied by AUMA.
→
Do not mix lubricants.
When deployed in areas where dust formation represents a potential explosion
hazard, perform visual inspection for deposit of dirt or dust on a regular basis. Clean
devices if required.
Check gearbox for unusual running or grinding noise or vibration which might be an
indication of bearing or gear damage.
6.3.
Disposal and recycling
Our devices have a long lifetime. However, they have to be replaced at one point in
time. The devices have a modular design and may, therefore, easily be separated
and sorted according to materials used, i.e.:
●
Various metals
●
Plastic materials
●
Greases and oils
The following generally applies:
●
Greases and oils are hazardous to water and must not be released into the
environment.
