Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit board with your hands or with conductive devices. To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper handling, read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual 82715 , Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules.
It weighs about 6.6 kg (14.5 lb). The TM-55 actuator is UL Listed for use in Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D. In the actuator, a torque motor servo-valve is energized by the electric control to generate a pressure differential applied to the ends of, and to operate, the second stage spool valve.
Additional cleaning or calibration is not necessary before installation or operation. Storage The TM-55 actuator may be stored as received from the factory for a period of time before installation. Installation See the outline drawing, Figure 2-2, for: ...

Make all electrical connections that are required using applicable Woodward electric control manuals. A plant wiring diagram will be supplied upon request. In applications where the TM-55 actuator is not used with a Woodward electric control, electrical input requirements will also be supplied upon request.
Woodward manuals for the particular Woodward electric control to begin prime mover operation. Woodward recommends adequate dither be used on all hydraulic actuators to minimize mA threshold and hysteresis which can result from second stage static friction or hydraulic contamination.
TM-55 Integrating Actuator Manual 82768 Adjustments Normally, all operating adjustments are made to the TM-55 actuator during factory calibration according to specifications provided by the customer and should not require further adjustment. Do not attempt adjustments to the actuator unless thoroughly familiar with the proper procedures. If an adjustment/ calibration must be made to the null current (level adjustment) follow these steps: 1.
A double-sided, equal-area servo piston linked to the rotary output shaft The essential element of the TM-55 is the torque motor servovalve which uses a double nozzle and flapper to generate a differential pressure to operate the second stage spool valve. The torque motor receives dc current signals from the electric control and applies torque to the single piece armature and flapper which is supported on a torsion flexure.
Filter Cleaning The TM-55 actuator is equipped with a 40 µm (nominal) filter fitting at the supply connection. See the outline drawing (Figure 2-2) for its location. If the filter becomes clogged, as evidenced by sluggish response, it may be cleaned ultrasonically, and back flushed with a light solvent.
