WARNING: Be aware of electrical hazards within the actuator and high-pressure hazards of

c

the attached valve or other actuated device when installing or performing maintenance on
your MX actuator. Failure to observe these precautions could result in serious bodily injury,
damage to the equipment, or operational difficulty.

WARNING: Do not manually operate actuator with devices other than installed handwheel

c

and declutch lever. Using additive force devices (cheater bars, wheel wrenches, pipe
wrenches, or other devices of this nature) on the actuator handwheel or declutch lever may
cause serious personal injury and/or damage to the actuator or valve.

2.1.1 Product Description

Your MX actuator controls the opening and closing travel of valves and other actuated devices. OPEN
and CLOSED limits are protected by an absolute encoder that provides optical sensing of valve position
and measures valve position in both motor and handwheel operation. No battery or backup power
supply is required. Output torque is derived from motor speed, temperature, and voltage. If the preset
torque is exceeded, the motor shuts off. As a result of this reliable and advanced protection technology,
all valve and other actuated devices are protected from potential damage from overload, improper
seating, and foreign obstructions.

A range of control and network options is available and can be easily added to the control capabilities
already available on a standard actuator. Contact your local Limitorque distributor or Limitorque sales
office for further information.

2.1.2 Storage

Storage Recommendations

Your MX actuator is double-sealed and weatherproof as shipped, providing all compartment covers and
cable entry plugs are left intact. Actuators should be stored in a clean, dry, protected warehouse until

4

ready for installation. If actuators must be stored outdoors, they should be stored off the ground, high
enough to prevent being immersed in water or buried in snow.

Limitorque MX Maintenance and Spare Parts FCD LMENIM2314-00 – 07/08

Swanson Flo | 800-288-7926 | www.swansonflo.com

If your unit incorporates a rising stem application, it may be shipped with a plastic cap over the drive
sleeve. If so, install a pipe plug or protective stem cover to protect the drive sleeve from possible
corrosion.

Preferred Storage Orientation

Your MX actuator should be stored with the motor and terminal compartment in the horizontal position
to obtain optimum service life.

2.2 Product Identification

2.2.1 Initial Inspection and Recording Suggestions

Upon receipt of the actuator, several steps should be initially followed to ensure condition of equipment
and to establish proper record keeping.

1. After removing the actuator from the shipping carton or skid, thoroughly examine it for any physical
damage which may have occurred during shipment. If you note any damage, immediately report the
damage to the transport company and call Limitorque for further assistance.

2. A nameplate with important information is attached to each actuator. Record the following informa­tion for use when you need to contact Limitorque with any questions about your actuator:

• Unit type/size

• Flowserve Limitorque order number

• Serial number

2.3 Maintenance

2.3.1 Recommended Maintenance

Under normal operating conditions, the MX is a maintenance-free actuator. Therefore, for normal
applications, no formal actuator maintenance is required although visual inspection for oil leakage and
excessive noise is recommended every 1 million drive sleeve turns or every 3000 cycles. When condi­tions are severe due to frequent operation or high temperatures, inspect the oil level and oil quality more
often. Replace any seals that permit oil leakage or water ingress. When installing pipe plugs, use PTFE
tape or paste to achieve a proper seal.

2.3.2 Unit Lubrication

Check for proper oil level every 1 million drive sleeve turns (reference Installation and Operation Manual

- Diagnostics Section to learn how to view drive sleeve turns data). Change oil every 6000 unit cycles or
if water or other foreign material is found during oil inspection.

Oil Level Inspection and Fill Criteria

(Reference Table 2.3 for oil capacities when mounted in varying positions)

• Actuator viewed in upright position (top-mounted handwheel up)

Oil level should be approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) below the outer surface of the housing at the oil fill
port.

NOTE: Do not overfill with oil because oil will expand during actuator operation. Actuators are shipped
with an oil volume suitable for any mounting position. When checking the factory-supplied oil level,
excess oil may drain from the highest oil fill port due to the various mounting orientations of each
application.

• Actuator viewed in side-mounted position (terminal compartment up). Oil level should be up to the
bottom of the oil fill plug.

• Actuator viewed in all other positions than described previously should have the oil capacities
maintained. Fill through the highest oil fill port until the oil is at a level that will contact the bottom of
the pipe plug when installed in oil fill port.

Figure 2.4 – Oil Fill and Drain Locations (MX-85, -140, and -150)

Lubrication Data

• Oil Specifications: MX actuators are oil-filled using Mobil SHC-632, which is a synthetic oil suitable for
ambient temperatures of -22°F to 250°F (-30°C to 120°C). For extreme low temperature conditions,
alternative lubricants are available - consult factory for further information.

2.3.3 O-Ring and Lubrication

O-rings and seals should be replaced any time an actuator is disassembled. Lubricate with a substance
that is compatible with Buna N seals.

2.4 Subassembly Removal
and Remounting Procedures

This manual divides each MX actuator subassembly into a Removal and Remounting procedure. Use
the following procedures to remove subassemblies for inspection, repair or replacement. Some subas­semblies require prior subassembly removal before allowing the desired subassembly removal. Note
the First Remove instructions at the beginning of each subassembly removal procedure. Remove these
subassemblies first, and then remove the desired subassembly according to the instructions. Once
removed, evaluate subassembly components to determine requirement for a new subassembly. If a new
subassembly is required, see Section 2.5. Once components have been identified and replaced, remount
following the appropriate Remounting procedures.

2.5 How to Order Replacement Subassemblies

2.5.1 Replacement Parts

Replacement parts are sold in modular subassemblies; therefore, when part replacement is required,

TIP: (MX-20 and -40 only) - Picture 5b shows
improper alignment between the cam latch
(#5-6) and the shoulder on the worm gear.
Improper alignment could cause the cam latch
to be broken off by the worm gear lug.

TIP: (MX-85, -140, and -150 only) - Picture 5c
shows proper alignment between the cam and
the clutch ring roller.

Fit the complete declutch assembly into the

STEP 6 (MX-85, -140, AND -150 ONLY)

Set screw adjustment. Install drive sleeve, baseplate, clutching and handwheel worm gear compo­nents. Assure the clutch lugs are fully engaged to the motor worm gear lugs before the adjustment.
With declutch lever resting on cap pad (not the set screw) place declutch cap assembly (1-4) into
housing without mounting screws. Rotate cap assembly clockwise until declutch cam is resisted
by the roller, clutch ring and clutch combination. Holding the declutch lever, rotate the set screw
clockwise through declutch cap, (this will rotate the cap counterclockwise) until the cap mounting
holes are inline with the taps in the housing. Install declutch assembly mounting screws. Then
rotate set screw counterclockwise ¼ turn, plus or minus

4.14.1 Removal

First Remove

1. Top-mounted handwheel (#1-8) or side-mounted handwheel (subassembly #13). (See Section

4.3.1 or 4.4.2.)

NOTE: Before removing handwheel and handwheel adapter assembly, turn handwheel
approximately 45° to permit declutch lever to fully engage therefore making handwheel assembly
easy to remove.

The handwheel adapter assembly and the
handwheel worm gear assembly procedures
are interchangeable. The parts within the
assembly are the same with exception to the
handwheel adapter (#12-1) and the handwheel
worm gear adapter (#12-1). The handwheel
adapter assembly is used when the handwheel
is top-mounted. The handwheel worm gear
assembly is used when the handwheel is
side-mounted.

STEP 1

WARNING: Potential to operate while dangerous mechanical parts are exposed during

c

subassembly removal. To prevent injury, turn off all power sources to actuator before
removing handwheel adapter assembly. Power sources may include main power or
control power.

Remove the four screws (#1-33) from the
retainer plate (#1-32).

STEP 6

NOTE: Lightly lubricate quad rings/O-rings before remounting subassemblies.

Fit the handwheel adapter assembly (#12) into
the top of the actuator housing. Slowly rotate
the assembly as it approaches its lower posi­tion in the actuator; this will allow the quad ring
(#12-3) to ease over the end of the drive sleeve
avoiding damage to the quad ring.

STEP 7 (MX-20 AND -40 ONLY)

Place the O-ring (#12-4) around handwheel
adapter, pressing the O-ring into the slot
between the handwheel adapter assembly (#12)
and the actuator housing (approximately every
15° to 30°) until the O-ring seats into slot.

STEP 8

NOTE: Retainer plate (#1-32) may sit slightly above actuator housing until screws are retightened.

WARNING: The MX-10 through -150 require precaution to prevent damage to the

c

declutch latch. This applies while installing the handwheel adapter/gear assembly
(#1-35), retainer plate (#1-32) and screws (#1-33). If the unit is in the clutched position
(handwheel operation) during assembly, a lug-to-lug condition can result between the
clutch and the handwheel adapter/gear. In this situation the latch will be compressed
and damaged when the plate screws are tightened.

Assure the clutch lugs are fully engaged to the
bronze gear lugs before installing the hand­wheel adapter/gear assembly. The latch must
be rotated down and not holding the clutch
off the bronze worm gear. When installing the
handwheel adapter/gear, ensure these lugs fall
between the clutch lugs. This position will allow
the handwheel adapter/gear lugs to be fully
engaged to the clutch lugs. The final step is to
install the retaining plate and socket head cap
screws.

8

1-32

Place the retainer plate (#1-32) on the top of
the actuator housing. Align the mounting taps,
and secure with screws (#1-33).

STEP 9 (MX-10, -20 AND -40)

Install handwheel (#1-8) onto handwheel
adapter assembly (#12), align the handwheel
with screw holes and tighten the four socket
head cap screws (#1-11).

or

Install side-mounted handwheel (subassembly
#13) according to remounting instructions
detailed in Section 4.4.3.
