3. Remove the bonnet-to-actuator bolting securing the actuator to the bonnet. Make sure the actuator is supported
and secured by other means prior to loosening nuts.
4. Using the lifting points provided (key 2215), hoist the actuator vertically taking care not to contact the stem in a
manner that would cause damage.
Disassembling the Pneumatic Cylinder
1. Complete Actuator Removal procedures per the applicable section of this instruction manual. Ensure the actuator is
de-energized and isolated from the process.
2. Loosen the tie-rod hex nuts (key 2212) in a crisscross pattern to remove the pneumatic cylinder tie rod bolts
(key 2213).
3. Remove the top cylinder end flange (key 2210) using the lifting lugs.
4. Remove the tie rods (key 2213). Remove the cylinder (key 2209) from the head flange (key 2201).
For a
partial replacement
of the pneumatic cylinder seals (namely, to replace all the seals with the exception of the
head flange seal, (key 2102, 2107 and 2202), proceed to the Replacing Pneumatic Cylinder Seals section .
For complete
total replacement
of the pneumatic cylinder seals (namely, to replace all the seals), the pneumatic
cylinder disassembly procedure proceed to step 5.
5. Unscrew the piston (key 2206) from the actuator stem using the two threaded holes (for actuator sizes 280 - 435
thread size is M10; for sizes 485 - 685 thread size is M16) by rotating counter-clockwise. Then lift and remove the
piston from the actuator stem. Retain the washer (key 2205) located beneath the piston on to the stem. This
operation is facilitated by the presence of threaded holes (figure 18).
6. Loosen and remove the fasteners holding the head flange (key 2201
,
.
7. Lift and remove the head flange (key 2201) from the spring can of 785C Spring Return Actuator or yoke of 785C
Springless Actuator.
