Section 3: Actuator Reassembly

Actuator Reassembly

3.3.8.2 

For FCBB315-SR, FCBB420-SR and FCBB525-SR models install the 
lubricated spring cylinder (4-10) over the piston and up against the 
O-ring seal on the flange of housing (1-10).

3.3.9 

For FCBBXXX-SR-M3/M3HW and FCBBXXX-SR models, do the the following:

3.3.9.1 

Install spacer (4-25) onto center bar assembly (8-10).

3.3.10 

Apply a coat of lubricant to the spring (4-70). Install the spring into the spring 

cylinder by carefully sliding the spring into the open spring cylinder end until the 

spring contacts the head of piston (4-50).

3.3.11 

End cap seal installation.

3.3.11.1 

For FCBB415-SR, FCBB520-SR and FCBB725-SR models install O-ring seal

 

(5-15) onto end cap (4-20).

3.3.11.2 

For FCBB315-SR, FCBB420-SR and FCBB525-SR models install O-ring seal

 

(5-10) onto end cap (4-20).

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).

3.3.17 

Continue to rotate center bar assembly (8-10) clockwise until spring (4-70) is 
fully compressed, spring cylinder is seated against the flange of housing (1-10) or 
adapter (4-15), and end cap (4-20) is properly seated in spring cylinder (4-10).

3.3.18 

Tighten center bar assembly (8-10) to the proper torque as specified in Table 3.
