    All the tubing, fitting and actuation media should be free from contamination and filtered to the desired level. Quality of media should be as per ISO 8573-1 [5:3:4]. For additional information LIFTING ARRANGMENT consult Neles. Ensure proper adjustments of the stopper bolt to desired opening Figure 4. Lifting the actuator and closing of the valve.
  • Page 8: Mounting The Actuator On The Valve

    In some cases, e.g. when using large actuators or with extensive pipework vibrations, the actuator should be supported. Consult Neles for instructions. If the actuator is used with devices other than Neles valves, any additional parts attached to the actuator must be properly protected. IMO-218 EN - Issue 8/2020...
  • Page 9: Setting

    Set should be replaced. Time in storage should be included in the inspection interval. If maintenance assistance is required, please contact your local Neles office. The part numbers in parentheses () in the text refer to the exploded view and to the parts list in Section 8, unless otherwise stated.
  • Page 10: Maintenance Precautions Of The Rnp_E_C And Rnp_E_A Actuator

    Actuator parts that reflect any of the above listed characteristics should be replaced with new parts. Neles recommends that disassembly of the actuator modules should be done in a clean area on a workbench. After reassembly, the actuator needs to be stroke for several times to ensure the desired function and safety.

    6.1 LUBRICATION • All the mountings, accessories and spare parts used or replaced must be original from Neles. • Use Neles recommended grease for greasing rack and seals. • Apply the grease with soft brush. NOTE: • Carry out maintenance involving disassembling of actuator in a safe indoor place free from dust, water.
  • Page 12 CAUTION: SPRING RETURN ACTUATOR END CAPS ARE UNDER SPRING TENSION. CAUTION MUST BE USED WHILE REMOVING END CAP BOLTS AND END CAPS. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PUT ACTUATOR INTO A PRESS DURING REMOVAL OF END CAPS TO ENSURE SAFE RELEASE OF SPRING TENSION. Pull the piston out from each side by holding with pliers.

    Pull the pinion the rest of the way out of the body. Check the pinion bearing #5 for its condition. If removal and replacement of the pinion bearings are required, carefully push the pinion bearing off with the help of a screw driver and remove from the body. Remove the rack bearing #12.
  • Page 14 Rotate the pinion so that the dot on the pinion is positioned close to the two dots on the top pad of the actuator body for accurate pinion alignment. For counterclockwise (CCW) assembly dot on the pinion is positioned close to the two dots on the top pad of the actuator body, then assemble piston.
  • Page 15 Apply air to Port A to move pistons to the extended 90 degree For positioning of flower spring structure please refer fig. position. WARNINGS • Use only genuine spares parts supplied by Neles. • Use only the recommended accessories and lubricants. • Install, operate and maintain as per the instructions and recommendations of this manual.
