Models 148D and 148R are multi-spring, single
acting, spring opposed, rotary ac tu a tors used with
Cashco rotary control valves. Re gard less of fi nal
installed fail ure action, the ac tu a tor is always pressurized on “top” of the traveling diaphragm plate.
Cashco has adopted a convention as follows in
identifying its rotary actuators:
“D” = Direct Action = ATC-FO Action
“R” = Reverse Action = ATO-FC Action

SECTION I
Model 148 actuator is fi eld reversible by arrange-
ment of actuator with respect to valve stem and with
respect to valve plug/disc orientation. Some dis as sem bly is required, but no new parts are required.
Reference the technical bulletin of the valve body
these actuators are unitized with for operating/
installation/se lec tion specifi cations; i.e. available
bench settings, strokes, etc.

A. Orientation:
1. Recommended actuator major axis ori en ta tion
with any model of Cashco rotary control valve
is upwards with the valve in a horizontal pipe
and the valve stem also horizontal; i.e. position
“A” for ATO-FC, or position “B” for ATC-FO.
2. Both Ranger QCT and Premier EZO/Unlined
control valve products incorporate an ex tend ed
Position A

valve body bon net and a mounting yoke to
allow the actuator to be far enough away
from the valve body or mounting fl anges to
in cor po rate a minimum of 2" (50 mm) thickness of in su la tion. It should not be necessary
to install thermal insulation to any portion of
Model 148 actuator. The maximum ambient
temperature for installation is 180°F (83°C);
the minimum ambient temperature is -20°F
(-29°C).

4. Reference the valve body instructions — IOMRang er, IOM-Premier for ad di tion al instructions on in stall ing unit in the process piping.
B. Air Supply:
1. Recommendation is that a desiccant dried,
instrument quality air supply be used. Such
a supply is recommended for outdoor in stal la tions, and is required in areas of freezing
weather conditions.

2. If air supply contains moisture and/or lu bri -
cat ing oil, the air should be fi ltered with a
co a lesc ing type of fi lter prior to use in stroking
the actuator.
3. Connection for the air loading pressure is 1/4"
female NPT. A suitable pipe thread sealant is
recommended to be used when installing the
pipe or tube fi tting. Exhibit care to prevent the
sealant from getting inside the tube/pipe.
4. If an alternate gaseous fl uid is used as a source
of loading pressure (i.e. natural gas, ni tro gen,
etc.), this gas MUST NOT BE COR RO SIVE
to the aluminum casing material.
IV. OPERATION
A. General:
1. Actuators supplied with 5-13 psig (0.34-0.90
Barg) benchset range are designed to op er ate
with or without a positioner. A 3-15 psig (0.21-
1.03 Barg) instrument output signal would be
required to operate without a positioner.
2. On larger valve body sizes the benchset
range is essentially 1.5–2.0 times that of
the 5-13 psig (0.34-090 Barg); i.e. 7.5-19.5
psig (0.52-1.34 Barg) or 10-26 psig (0.69-
1.79 Barg). Either a signal booster or a
positioner will be required for full rotation
(0°–90°) by the actuator.
IOM-148
SECTION IV
3. If an “installed characteristic” other than the
“inherent characteristic” is desired, a positioner
plus a “char ac ter iza tion cam” is required. The
inherent characteristic of Rang er QCT control
valves is linear; for Premiers the inherent
characteristic is equal percent.
4. See Tables 2 through 4 for available actuator
models with benchset ranges per valve type
and body size. (Note: Model 48 actuators
included for clarity.) Proper MAX I MUM air
supply pressures are also indicated.

V. MAINTENANCE
A. General:
1. Hereafter, all maintenance, disassembly, etc.,
is as sumed to be done in an indoor shop.
2. Most actuators are a sub-assembly that is
unitized with a body sub-assembly. Ref er ence
should be made to the IOM for the correct
body utilized.
3. Where the body is not being disassembled,
special care MUST be exhibited to prevent
valve stem rotation during any disassembly
or reassembly for all types of valves. Following this procedure will ensure not damaging
seat ing surfaces.
4. Remove all instrument tubing and in ter con nect ed electrical wiring. Label “ends” to en sure
proper reconnection.
5. All indicated Item Numbers that are with re spect to IOM-Ranger, IOM-Premier EZO or
IOM-Premier Unlined will be in parenthesis
and underscored; i.e. (20); the same is true
for Model 73N-B P/P positioner parts.
6. All Item Numbers that are with respect to this
IOM-148 are not underscored; i.e. (19).
7. Item Numbers that relate to the Models 9540

11. Recalibrate the unit (AA) (BA) and its positioner
((PA)).
D. Changing Failsafe Action:
1. Model 148 actuator (AA) is fi eld-reversible for
failsafe action with no additional parts required.
2. It is possible that both of the following can occur
together for the degree of disassembly undertaken:
a. Failsafe action reversed.
b. Change in actuator mounting position.
NOTE: This section will be limited to the pro ce dures
for 2.a. above. If 2.b. is also desired, then it will be
necessary to reference Sub sec tion C. here in for the
added procedural steps as required.
This subsection will thus be limited as in di cat ed as
follows (reference Figures 10– 11 herein for be gin ning and end graphic orientations).
3. To reverse actuator (AA) failsafe action ba si cal ly
requires:
a. Moving lever arms (5) from left side of valve’s
stem (Ranger (7)) (Premier (3.2)) to right
side, or vice versa. This is ac com plished by
removing actuator assembly (AA) from body
assembly (BA) and ro tat ing actuator (AA)
180° about the ac tu a tor’s stem linkage (8)
(9) (10) (43) (44).
b. Rotating plug (Ranger (6)) or disc (Pre mier
(3.1)) by 90°; ie. from “closed” po si tion to
“open” position, or vice versa.
c. Reconnecting actuator (AA) to body (BA)
with lever arms (5) also rotated 180°.
10
6. Slide actuator assembly (AA) that has been
rotated 180° back over the stem-end (Ranger
(7)) (Premier (3.2)). Align bolt holes between
arm housing (4) and valve yoke (12).
7. Reengage bolting (24) securing arm housing
(4) to yoke (12). Torque bolting (24) to 30-35
ft-lbs (40-47 N-m).
8. Ensure that the reinstalled lever arms (5) are
also rotated 180° in the same reference as the
actuator as sem bly (AA) was rotated. (NOTE:
The repositioned arms (5) will appear to have
only changed relative position by 90° in an oth er
plane.) Ensure the lever arms assembly (5)
is “centered” within the arm housing (4), and
with respect to the actuator stem (8) (9) (10)
(43) (44).
9. Rejoin the body assembly (BA) to the actuator
as sem bly (AA) as described in this Section,
V.I.
E. Diaphragm Replacement:
1. Place unit assembly (AA) (BA) onto a fl at work
bench with actuator upper casing (1) on top
side; i.e. handwheel (58), if supplied, on top
side. Place a matchmark between actuator
casings (1) (2).
2. Ensure that all air pressure is released from
actuator assembly (AA) casing (1).
3. Ensure that manual handwheel (58) operator
is fully rotated upwards by loosening locking
lever (59) and ro tat ing CCW (viewed from top
side) as far as possible.
WARNING

11. Aligning matchmarks of Article 7. above,
re po si tion piston (3) back onto top side of
range spring (11) array. Using a mirror tool
and fl ashlight, look through the rect an gu lar
open ing in the lower casing (2) from within the
arm housing (4) to ensure that the piston (3)
hubs are centered within the ID of the range
spring (11) coil. It may be necessary to use
a tool to move the upper end of the range
spring (11) as necessary to be “captured” by
a piston (3) hub. Each spring (11) MUST be
captured by a hub on top and bottom ends.
12. Reinstall a new diaphragm (6) and re as sem ble

of the stated benchset range plus 2 psi (0.14
Bar); i.e. for 10-26 psig (0.69-1.79 Barg)
benchset range, pressurize to 26+2 = 28 psig
(1.79+0.14 = 1.93 Barg). This pressure level
should cause the piston’s (3) lower skirt-edge
to bottom out on the lower casing (2).
14. Using only tools (i.e. no fi ngers within arm
housing (4)) to grasp the actuator stem/push
rod (10), insert push rod (10) with in ter con nect ed parts (9) (43) (43) (44) (54) into arm
housing (4) and engage into dangling upper
R.H. rod end (8) by rotating CW (viewed from
lower L.H. rod end (9)). Count number of

WARNING
Do not pressurize actuator assembly (AA) be yond the
“MAX ACTUATOR PRESSURE” level/value in di cat ed
on the unit’s nameplate (21). Fail ure to heed may
cause catastrophic failure of upper cas ing (1) lead ing
to fl ying parts.
B. Actuator Stem/Push Rod Adjustment:
1. Actuator stem/push rod linkage (8, 9, 10, 43,
43, 43, 44, 54) when properly ad just ed will –
a. Provide the proper benchset range.
b. Provide 90° rotation.
c. Provide proper valve stem (Ranger (7),
Premier (3.2)) “windup”.
2. Ensure that manual handwheel operator
(MHWO) has handwheel (58.1) backed fully
out by rotating CCW (viewed from above
handwheel (58.1)).
3. Remove cover plate (20) by removing four
screws (36).

(43) to the root of its threads on push rod
(10).
d. The upper R.H. rod end (8), lower L.H. rod
end (9), and push rod (10) act to geth er as
a turnbuckle; the upper end is standard
right-hand threaded while the lower end is
left-hand thread ed. To en sure max i mum
and equal en gage ment of rod ends (8,9) to
the push rod (10), it is rec om mend ed that
the link age (8,9,10) be fully en gaged and
then re ad just ed as a safety pre cau tion.
