General Service Information 

1.1.1 

This service procedure is offered as a guide to enable general maintenance to be 
performed on Bettis™ CBA-300 double-acting series actuators.  
The following is a list of general CBA-300 model numbers:

Table 1� 

CBA-300 Model Numbers

MODEL (1) 

MODEL (1) 

MODEL (1) 

CBA730

CBA730-M3

CBA730-M3HW

CBA830

CBA830-M3

CBA830-M3HW

CBA930

CBA930-M3

CBA930-M3HW

CBA1030

CBA1030-M3

CBA1030-M3HW

 (1) Also includes actuator models with –10 and –11 as a suffix 

NOTE: 

When the actuator model number has “-S” as a suffix then the actuator is special and may 
have some differences that may not be included in this procedure. 

1.1.2 

Normal recommended service interval for this actuator series is five years.

NOTE: 

Storage time is counted as part of the service interval.  

1.1.3 

This procedure is applicable with the understanding that all electrical power and 
pneumatic pressure has been removed from the actuator. 

1.1.4 

Remove all piping and mounted accessories that will interfere with the module(s) 
that are to be worked on. 

1.1.5 

This procedure should only be implemented by a technically competent technician 
who should take care to observe good workmanship practices. 

1.1.6 

Numbers in parentheses, ( ) indicate the bubble number (reference number) used 
on the Bettis Assembly Drawing and Actuator Parts List. 

1.1.7 

This procedure is written using the serial number tag side of the housing (1-10) 
as a reference and this side will be considered the front side of the actuator. The 
position indicator (1-50) area of housing (1-10) will be the top of the actuator.

1.1.8 

When removing seals from seal grooves, use a commercial seal removing tool or a 
small screwdriver with sharp corners rounded off. 

1.1.9 

Use a non-hardening thread sealant on all pipe threads.
