PM - HTR - CAutomation Actuator DivisionWadsworth, Ohio 44281April 1, 1994Rev. August 1999HTR Series ActuatorsMaintenance Instructions & Parts ListProvide Model Number and Serial Number When Ordering Spare Parts.GENERALHTR Series Hydraulic Rack & Pinion Actuators are designedfor a maximum operating pressure of 3,000 psi non-shock.The actuator consists of a Pinion and one or two Rackslocated within a Housing. Pressurization of alternate cylinderport(s) results in shaft rotation.The gear chamber has been filled with a Moly grease contain-ing a minimum Molybdenum Disulfide (MSO 2 ) content of 3%.In the event that maintenance is required, the following stepsshould be used as a guide:ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURESA. Inspection & Replacement of End Cap Seals, #9.1. Place actuator in the mid-stroke position as shown.Remove Tie Rod Nuts, #10, from Tie Rods, #13.2. Pull End Cap, #11, free from Cylinder Tube , #12.3.
