The rotary control valve consists of a valve housing, ported metering ball, metering shoe, bonnet, and actuator adapter yoke. The metering elements of these valves are a ported ball and cylindrical shoe. The ball is ported to provide a square law area versus position flow characteristics from 0% to 100% stroke. Woodward...

• in accordance with the descriptions below. Woodward recommends the valve to be overhauled prior to 64k operational hours, 8 years, or • after 500 unpowered trips (loss of power to the DVP while the valve is open), whichever occurs first.
Attach the thread connector of the grease syringe to the threaded bearing grease port. The fitting should be fully seated (Figure 4-1). Inject the entire Woodward-approved grease kit 8923-3303 into each of the six bearing grease ports. Remove the grease syringe from the bearing port and install the bearing port plug. Torque to (4.3 to 4.7) N·m / (38 to 42) lb-in.
There is an overboard vent drain that must be vented to a safe location. In normal operation, this vent should have very low leakage. However, if excessive leakage is detected from this vent port, contact a Woodward representative for assistance. Never plug the OBVD port. Plugging the OBVD may cause damage to the seals.
Adjustment by unqualified operators may damage the valve and actuator components, affecting valve performance. When requesting information or service help from Woodward, it is important to include the part number and serial number of the valve assembly in your communication.
