Recommended spare parts are listed on the assembly drawing. These parts should be stocked to minimize downtime. Order parts from your DeZURIK sales representative, or directly from DeZURIK. When ordering parts, please include the 7-digit part number and 4-digit revision number (example: 9999999R000) located on the data plate attached to the valve assembly.
The cylinder mounting interface is the same for all PowerRac™ actuators. A lockable model of The DeZURIK PowerRac™ actuator is also available. Operation of the lockable model is described on page 19.
DeZURIK R1 and R2 POWERRAC™ Actuators Installation (continued) Figure 1—R1 and R2 PowerRac™ Configurations Operation The R1 and R2 PowerRac™ actuator is powered pneumatically, and rotates 90° between the open and closed positions, in the direction as described above. The double-acting cylinder is sized for 60 psi or 80 psi (415 kPa or 550 kPa), and the spring-return cylinder is sized for a 60 psi (415 kPa) spring only.
DeZURIK R1 and R2 POWERRAC™ Actuators Lubrication The actuator has been lubricated at the factory and requires no routine lubrication. If the actuator is disassembled (see Figures 2 thru 4 for actuator parts identification); apply a paint-like coating using one of these lubricants: - Dow Corning Molykote No.
DeZURIK R1 and R2 POWERRAC™ Actuators Position Stops The adjustable open and closed position stops prevent the actuator from rotating beyond the open and closed positions of the valve. Double Acting Actuator The closed position stop is located in the cylinder cap, and the open position stop is located in the actuator end cover.
DeZURIK R1 and R2 POWERRAC™ Actuators Removing Actuator Refer to Figure 2 for component identification. Flow in the pipeline with the actuator removed can allow the valve to slam closed and cause personal injury and/or damage to the flow system. Shut down the flow in the pipeline before removing the actuator from the valve.

DeZURIK R1 and R2 POWERRAC™ Actuators Double-Acting Cylinder Disassembly Refer to Figure 3 for component identification. 1. Remove the tie rod nuts (C15) and washers (C13) from the tie rods (C12). 2. Remove the cylinder cap (C11). 3. Push the piston rod (C4) through the cylinder head (C1), and remove the piston (C7) and piston rod (C4).
DeZURIK R1 and R2 POWERRAC™ Actuators Spring-Return Cylinder Disassembly Refer to Figure 4 for component identification. The spring assembly (S19) contains a compressed spring that can cause death or personal injury if the cylinder tie rod nuts are removed while the spring force is on the tie rod nuts.
DeZURIK R1 and R2 POWERRAC™ Actuators Spring-Return Cylinder Reassembly Clean and inspect all parts before reassembly. Refer to Figure 4 for component identification. See Figure 1 for orientation of cylinder assembly and end cover on spring-to-open and spring-to-close actuator configurations. See “Lubrication” section for lubricating requirements.
DeZURIK R1 and R2 POWERRAC™ Actuators Spring-Return Cylinder Reassembly (continued) 4. Tighten the nut to 45 ± 5 foot pounds (61 ± 7 Nm). 5. Place the O-ring (S8) in the smaller groove of the piston (S7). Place the piston seal (S9) in the larger groove of the piston as far around the circumference as possible without stretching the seal.
DeZURIK R1 and R2 POWERRAC™ Actuators Double-Acting Cylinder Reassembly (continued) 6. Place the piston rod seal (S3) in the cylinder head (S1). 7. Push the piston rod (S4) through the cylinder head (S1) so that the piston (S7) is against the cylinder head.
