The standard M6 series comes with an ISO bottom mounting pattern and double square drive on the pinion allowing for simpler coupling fabrication. Additional valve mounting patterns are available upon request. -
Page 12: Travel Stop Adjustment
6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 VI. Travel Stop Adjustment Contromatics actuators have open and close travel stops for +5°/-5° of travel. A. Setting The Stops on Double Acting Units 1. Operate the actuator assembly to the closed position. 2. -
Page 13: Setting The Stops On Spring Return Units (Fail Closed)
6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 B. Setting The Stops on Spring Return Units (Fail Closed) 1. Remove the air supply to the A port. Actuator will move to the closed position. Please note the position of the actuator. 2. -
Page 14: Setting The Stops On Spring Return Units (Fail Open)
6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 C. Setting The Stops on Spring Return Units (Fail Open) 1. Remove/lockout the air supply to the actuator and it will drive to the open position. Note the position of the actuator. 2. Apply air to close the actuator. Note the position of the actuator while the air supply is maintained, loosen the locknut on the open stop and adjust the stop to the correct position desired. -
Page 15: Actuator Disassembly
6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 VII. Actuator Disassembly A. Steps to Actuator Disassembly 1. Disconnect all electrical and air supplies from the actuator. 2. Ensure the actuator is depressurized and in the fail position. 3. Remove actuator from mounting bracket and coupling, and any limit switches, manual overrides, positioners and other pneumatic accessories (where applicable), and place in a clean environment. - Page 16 6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 5. Remove any springs and repeat for the other side. Spring Cartridges Fig. 7.2 6. Loosen both limit stop nuts then remove both limit stop bolts to allow full rotation of the pinion. op Bolts Fig.
- Page 17 6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 7. Rotate the pinion counterclockwise to push the pistons away from each other until they completely disengage from the pinion. (NOTE: This is for standard FCW configuration actuators. For non-standard units rotation may be reversed.
- Page 18 6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 10. Slide pinion down through the bottom of the actuator until you can remove the pinion cam, thrust bearing, and upper pinion o-ring from the top of the pinion. Note the orientation of the pinion cam so it can be replaced in the same position during reassembly.

Page 19: Maintenance And Temperature Change
6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 Maintenance and Temperature Change A. Repair Kit Overview Any time maintenance is preformed on an actuator, it is necessary to replace all O-rings, grease, and bearings to insure the longest life. During maintenance all parts should be wiped clean of grease using a clean cloth, and parts should be lubricated with the fresh grease for the correct temperature application before reassembly. -
Page 20: Installing Repair Kits Or Changing Temperature Rating
6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 B. Installing Repair Kit or Changing Temperature Rating Follow the listed steps to install a repair kit or change temperature applications. For reference the various temperature specifications and materials can be found on pg. 9 of this manual. 1. -
Page 21: Actuator Assembly
6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 VIII. Actuator Assembly A. Steps to Actuator Assembly The directions below assume the actuator has been disassembled. Please refer to pg. 21 if this process has not been completed. 1. Inspect all wear surfaces for excessive wear or possible damage. 2. - Page 22 6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 Fig. 9.6 Fig. 9.7 5. Press the top pinion o-ring into the inset around the top of the pinion then install the flange bearing and top pinion washer (Fig. 9.6). Use a pair of circlip pliers to install the pinion circlip (Fig. 9.7) Be careful not to expand the circlip too much as it may be damaged if over expanded.
- Page 23 6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 8. Rotate the pinion to the open position. Orient the pistons correctly according to your operation type and slide them into the body until both racks engage with the pinion. (For correct orientation of pistons refer to p.34 of this manual) 9.
- Page 24 6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 10. After you have ensured the pistons are correctly installed in the actuator, move the actuator to the open position, set the open stop the same way as the closing stop in step 8, then close the actuator. 11.
- Page 25 6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 12. After ensuring the end cap O-ring is in place and lubricated, place the end cap on the actuator and tighten it using the end cap screws. Tighten the screws incrementally in the pattern shown below (Fig. 9.14) to evenly seat the end cap onto the actuator, then repeat this for the opposing end cap.

Page 26: Spring Configuration
6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 B. Spring Configurations The Contromatics M series actuator uses fully encapsulated, preloaded spring cartridges that are easily configured for adjustable spring return torque. While DA (double acting) refers to an actuator without springs, the letter “K” followed by the number of springs in each end cap is used for the different spring configurations. -
Page 27: Air Leak Testing
6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 C. Air Leak Test Any time the actuator is modified or undergoes maintenance, a leak test needs to be completed to insure the actuator is air tight and working correctly. To perform an air leak test: 1. - Page 28 6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 D. Changing Fail Configurations Follow these steps to change the fail configuration of the actuator: 1. Disassemble the actuator as described on pg.21 steps 1-7. 2. Using the proper size crescent wrench, rotate the pinion to its new orientation when in the “fail” position (actuator closed), and set the new closed stop.

Page 29: Automation Accessories
6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 IX. Automation Accessories A. Speed Control The Speed Control (UT-SC) The Tamper Resistant Speed Control (UT-SC-TR) The Speed Controller accurately adjusts the speed of the actuator for precise control of the open/close speed for the valve. The UT-SC can be mounted directly on the actuator or can be used with a Namur solenoid valve and/or positioner. -
Page 30: Airlock
6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 C. Airlock The Airlock (UT-AL) The UT-AL airlock “block and vent” device blocks the supply of air from both the solenoid valve and the actuator while it vents all compressed air from the actuator. This allows for safer operation when manual control of the valve is necessary. - Page 31 6th EDITION M6 SERIES IOM ISSUED 12/2014 X.
