GENERAL INFORMATION
1-1.GENERAL
This manual provides instructions for the installation,
operation and maintenance of the Duff-Norton 6415 &
7415 Series AC actuator. It includes proper procedures
for the disassembly, cleaning, inspection, rebuilding and
assembly of the actuator. To ensure efficient, long,
satisfactory use of this unit, these instructions should be
followed closely.
1-2.INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY
The actuators described and illustrated in this manual
are intended for industrial use only and should not be
used to lift, support or otherwise transport people,
unless you have a written statement from Duff-Norton
Company which authorizes this actuator unit, as used in
your application, as suitable for moving people.
1-3.FACTORY PREPARATION
Each actuator is carefully assembled and tested at the
factory to ensure that the motor and the mechanical
components will function properly and that the actuator
will lift its rated load.
The brake is preset at the factory and no further
adjustment is required. With proper maintenance, this
brake prevents the actuator from self-lowering.
The actuator is pre-lubricated at the factory and thus
requires minimum maintenance.
Limit switches are checked at the factory for proper
functioning.
External wires are provided for customer
hookup. Wires are color coded as to direction of travel of
the actuator (see wiring diagram, Figure 6.2).

INSTALLATION
2-1. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Use Figure 6-2 as a guide to properly attach the SPA
6415 & 7415 AC actuator to your power source.
2-2. LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION
Disconnect power before making any adjustments to the
limit switches.
IMPORTANT
Before attempting to set limit switch nuts by these
instructions, be certain that the red and blue motor leads
and the switch leads are connected properly per Figure
6-2. Unless leads are connected exactly as shown, the
following steps will be meaningless.
1.Setting Retracted Position
A. Do not install actuator in the intended
application at this time.
B. With nut retainer “A” installed in actuator
and the translating tube unstrained, operate
actuator toward retracted position until limit
switch nut “B” trips limit switch (see Figure 6-3).
NOTE
Translating tube may jam and rotate prior to tripping limit
switch.
SECTION II
extended centerline to centerline dimension
listed in Figure 1-6.
B. Remove nut restrainer “A” and rotate limit
switch nut “C” (see Figure 6-3) until it activates
the limit switch.
C. Replace nut restrainer “A”.
D. Install actuator in application and check the
unit's drift. Slight readjustment in switch
actuation may be attained by removing nut
restrainer “A” and (1) rotating limit switch nut
“B” to adjust retracted position or (2) rotating
limit switch nut “C” to adjust extended position
(1 notch of rotation = .05 in. of screw travel).
E. After adjusting limit switch nuts,
replace nut restrainer “A”. Operate the actuator
and readjust limit switch nuts as necessary to
achieve desired travel.
2-3.POST-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
After actuator installation, position the air vent to prevent
moisture and dirt from entering the actuator. Vent can be
repositioned by loosening the set screw and rotating the
outer air tube into which the air vent is threaded. Spot drill
and re-tighten set screw.
If necessary, an elbow (1/8" female x 1/8" male
pipe thread) can be used for more effective positioning.
C. Rotate the translating tube by hand until
distance between the housing clevis hole
centerline and the translating tube clevis hole
centerline equals the desired closed height. This
centerline to centerline dimension is not to be
less than the retracted centerline to centerline
dimension listed in Figure 1-6. If the two clevis
end holes are not oriented as required, rotate the
translating tube no more than 1/2 turn in either
direction until they are properly oriented.
D. Install actuator in application and check drift.
Slight readjustment in switch actuation may be
attained by removing nut restrainer “A” and
rotating limit switch nut “B” (1 notch of
rotation = .05 in. of screw travel). Replace nut
restrainer, “A”.
2. Setting Extended Position
A.Restrain the translating tube against rotation
by hand. Operate the actuator, toward the
extended position, until the distance between
the housing clevis hole centerline and the
translating tube clevis hole centerline equals the
desired extended height. This centerline to
centerline dimension is not to exceed the

3-1.OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
This motor is an intermittent duty type motor. Since the
motor draws approximately the same amperage at no
load as at full rated load, it only takes 10 minutes of
cntinuous running, regardless of how light the load may
be, before the thermal overload relay cuts out. It then
takes about 10 minutes before the motor cools
sufficiently for the thermal relay to close. Make sure that
SS
the duty cycle to which the actuator is subjected is not
too severe for the motor.
Avoid using low voltage supply for the motor. All
wiring, switches etc. must be of sufficient capacity to
carry the required current.
The axis of the clevis pins should be parallel so
that the actuator can pivot without binding. The preset
brake will provide consistent braking for the actuator.
However, in the event the brake friction surfaces become
worn as indicated by excessive drift, the brake will
require rebuilding. To aid in rebuilding, a repair kit with
step by step instructions is available through Duff-Norton
Company under repair kit part number SK-6415-41. The
repair can be performed by the customer or by any
authorized repair station.
WARNING
This actuator is not recommended for use in applications
where it can be jammed. Examples of jamming include
overtraveling the limit switches and thus jamming the nut
and screw internally at the extreme ends of the stroke,
and driving the actuator against an immovable object
and thus severely overloading it. This actuator can jam a
limited number of times without damage. Therefore,
consult Duff-Norton Engineering if jamming is expected.
Do not operate actuator before setting limit
switches.
Some actuator external surface temperatures
may reach 230˚F at or near maximum allowable duty
cycle.
2-5. DIGITAL POSITION INDICATOR (DUFF-NORTON PART
NO. SK6300-4K)
The model SK6300-4K is a highly versatile, panel mount,
digital readout device that provides a very precise
indication of actuator position. It can be programmed to
