Possible error
Solution
Where to find
Actuator does not
react to electrical
control signal.
There is no supply
pressure at the
actuator.
Supply the right
pressure to the
actuator.
Section 2.3
Check that the actual
supply pressure is
higher than the
sizing pressure.
Actuator does not
react good to
electrical control
signal.
There is sufficient
supply air pressure but
insufficient supply air
capacity.
Take care the supply air
tubing has the right
dimensions.
Section 4.6
Supply pressure too
low, causing pilot
operated solenoid valve
to fail.
Check that supply
pressure at the actuator
and solenoid is
sufficient to operate the
actuator.
Section 2.3
Check that the actual
supply pressure is
higher than the
sizing pressure.
Solenoid valve is not
mounted properly.
Check the solenoid
valve mounting.
Instructions shipped
with the solenoid
Speed control throttle
(if present) blocks air
flow.
Turn the speed control
more open.
Instructions shipped
with the speed
control valve.
Manual override
(if present) on the
Solenoid Valve is
locked.
Unlock manual override
on the solenoid valve.
Instructions
shipped with the
manual override.
Air leakage
between
actuator and
solenoid valve.
Sealing between
solenoid valve and
actuator is not
mounted air tight.
Reassemble solenoid
valve taking care, that
all seals are in place.
Instructions shipped
with the solenoid
valve.
Double-acting
actuator will only
move to “open”
position.
Actuator has wrong
solenoid valve
configuration.
Mount a solenoid valve
suitable for double-
acting actuators
(5/2 function).
Instructions shipped
with the solenoid
valve.
Check that conversion o-
ring on solenoids, that
have both 3/2 and 5/2
functions, is in the right
position.
Instructions shipped
with the solenoid
valve.
Leakage notice
on the actuator.
Seals on the limit stops
screws are not air tight.
Turn the lock nut of the
bolts tighter; until the
leakage stops.
Section 9.6
Seals on the end caps
are not air tight.
Disassemble the end
caps, replace O-rings
and reassemble.
Consider to replace all
O-ring seals and
bearings.
Section 9.6 or Section 6
Seals on the pinion top
and bottom are not air
tight.
Disassemble the
complete actuator,
replace O-rings and
reassemble. Consider
to replace all O-ring
seals and bearings.
