Service Instructions Section 1: Introduction VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 June 2024 Section 1: Introduction General Service Information • This service procedure is offered as a guide to enable general maintenance to be performed on Bettis CBB-SR Spring-Return Series Actuators. The following table is a list of general CBB-SR models numbers. Table 1.
Section 1: Introduction Service Instructions June 2024 VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 CAUTION Apply the thread sealant per the manufacturer's instructions. • Bettis recommends that disassembly of the actuator should be done in a clean area on a workbench. Definitions WARNING If not observed, user incurs a high risk of severe damage to actuator and/or fatal injury to personnel.
Operating Media • Recommended to use clean, dry air or inert gas. • Other gases may be used with direction from Emerson Engineering to evaluate any possible restrictions or modifications which may need to be made for compatibility. Lubrication Requirements 1.7.1...
Section 1: Introduction Service Instructions June 2024 VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 General Tool Information • All threads on CBB-Series actuators are inch unified and NPT. • All tools/hexagons are American Standard inch. Two adjustable wrenches, Allen wrench set, small standard screwdriver with sharp edges rounded off, medium-size standard screwdriver, diagonal cutting pliers, external snap ring pliers, flat file, drive ratchet/deepwell socket set and torque wrench (up to 2,000 in-lb / 226 Nm).
Service Instructions Section 1: Introduction VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 June 2024 1.11 Actuator Installation Since there are many valve and actuator combinations, it is not practical to include detailed instructions for each type. Mountings are designed to be as simple as possible to keep guess work out of installation.
Section 1: Introduction Service Instructions June 2024 VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 NOTE: When the actuator is first placed into service, it should be cycled with regulated pneumatic pressure. This is necessary because the seals have been stationary, causing them to take a “set”. Therefore, the actuator should be operated through several cycles to exercise the seals so as to achieve a service ready condition.
Service Instructions Section 2: Actuator Disassembly VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 June 2024 Section 2: Actuator Disassembly General Disassembly WARNING It is possible that the actuator may contain a dangerous gas and/or liquids. Ensure that all proper measures have been taken to prevent exposure or release of these types of contaminants before commencing any work.
Section 2: Actuator Disassembly Service Instructions June 2024 VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 Spring Cylinder Disassembly NOTE: Review Section 2 steps 2.1.1 through 2.1.2 before proceeding with cylinder disassembly. The spring in CBB-Series spring-return actuators is preloaded. Actuator must be disassembled in the following manner: 2.2.1 Remove hex nut (1-80) as follows: For CBB315 through 725 standard housing stop screw or extended stop (ES), use step 2.2.1.1.

Service Instructions Section 2: Actuator Disassembly VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 June 2024 2.2.3 Remove breather (30) from end cap (4-20). 2.2.4 For models with breather -10 cold temperature, do the following: 2.2.4.1 Remove breather (30-10), elbow (30-30) and hex nipple (30-20) from end cap (4-20).
Section 2: Actuator Disassembly Service Instructions June 2024 VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 Housing Disassembly 2.3.1 Remove center bar assembly (8-10) from housing (1-10). 2.3.2 Remove both retaining rings (1-60) from torque shaft (1-30). Remove washers (1-65) from housing. 2.3.3 The following steps may be required before disassembly can continue. 2.3.3.1 If torque shaft (1-30) has any raised burrs or sharp edges they should be removed.
Service Instructions Section 3: Actuator Reassembly VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 June 2024 Section 3: Actuator Reassembly General Reassembly CAUTION Only new seals that are still within the seals expectant shelf life should be installed into the actuator being refurbished. 3.1.1 Remove and discard all old seals and gaskets. 3.1.2 All parts should be cleaned to remove all dirt and other foreign material prior to inspection.

Section 3: Actuator Reassembly Service Instructions June 2024 VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 3.2.1 M3 jackscrew installation for CBB315/415-SR-M3. 3.2.1.1 Apply a light coating of lubricant to the threads of M3 jackscrew (1-70). NOTE: M3 jackscrew (1-70) will be installed from inside of the housing (1-10). 3.2.1.2 Insert and rotate M3 jackscrew (1-70) into housing (1-10).

Service Instructions Section 3: Actuator Reassembly VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 June 2024 NOTE: Rotate the hex nut down the M3 jackscrew until it is next to the M3 adapter. 3.2.3 Apply a coating of lubricant to the torque shaft holes located on each side of housing (1-10).
Section 3: Actuator Reassembly Service Instructions June 2024 VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 3.2.9 Rotate the torque shaft (1-30) so that the arms of yoke (1-20) point outward. 3.2.10 Coat O-ring seal (5-20) with lubricant and install into inner diameter seal groove located in the center bar hole of housing (1-10). 3.2.11 Coat entire length of center bar (8-10) with lubricant including the threads.

Section 3: Actuator Reassembly Service Instructions June 2024 VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 3.3.18 Continue to rotate center bar assembly (8-10) clockwise until spring (4-70) is fully compressed, spring cylinder is seated against the flange of housing (1-10) or adapter (4-15) and end cap (4-20) is properly seated in spring cylinder (4-10).
Service Instructions Section 4: Actuator Testing VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 June 2024 Section 4: Actuator Testing Actuator Testing 4.1.1 Leak Test - General: A small amount of leakage may be tolerated. Generally, a small bubble which breaks about three seconds after starting to form is considered acceptable.
The actuators main pressure bearing parts will be tested in controlled conditions by pressuring both sides of the piston to avoid damage and over-torquing of the actuator components. If further future testing in the field is necessary, Emerson should be contacted for guidance.
In the unlikely event of a fault developing, the following Symptoms and Solutions Table is provided to assist the service engineer. This table is designed to cover as wide a range of Emerson's Bettis Actuators as possible. Reference to equipment that is not supplied should be ignored.
Section 5: Troubleshooting Service Instructions June 2024 VA001-196-31 Rev. 5 Operational Test 5.2.1 Full Stroke Test The “Full Stroke Test” (“On-line”) must be performed to satisfy the PFD (average probability of failure on demand) value. The full stroke test frequencies will be defined by the final installer to achieve the defined SIL level.
The below basic procedure should not supersede or replace any customer's plant safety or work procedures. If a conflict arises between this procedure and the customer's procedures, the differences should be resolved in writing between a customer's authorized representative and an authorized Emerson Actuation Technologies representative. CAUTION Make sure actuator is isolated before removing from the valve.
