The recommendations in this manual for installation, operation and maintenance must be followed to
ensure safe use. All persons responsible for the installation and use of Joyce Dayton Integrated
actuators must be familiar with the contents of this manual.
Customer is responsible for guards and other protective devices and ensuring that integrated actuator
usage conforms with local and national operating and safety codes appropriate to the class of
equipment into which the integrated actuator is installed.
This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instruction for the standard Joyce
Dayton integrated actuator with acme screw. Although this manual covers the standard integrated
actuators, some may vary significantly from this manual. For special units, please contact Joyce
Dayton Corp. for assistance.
1-3 Receipt of Product
All equipment should be immediately inspected upon receipt for any damage and to verify correct
product and quantities. Any problems should be reported to Joyce Dayton Corp. and the freight
carrier as soon as possible. Products returned without a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) form
will not be accepted.
1-4 Warranty
Seller warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal
and proper use in accordance with instruction of seller for a period of one year from the date of
shipment to buyer. Seller's liability under such warranty or in connection with any other claim
relating to the products shall be limited to the repair, or at seller’s option, the replacement or
refund of the purchase price, of any products or parts or components thereof which are returned
to seller freight prepaid and which are defective in material or workmanship. Products or parts or
components thereof, which are repaired or replaced by seller will be returned to buyer freight
collect. This warranty is not intended to cover consumer products, as defined in the MagnusonMoss Warranty-Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act, 15 U. S. C. Sections 2301-12,
which are purchased by buyer for purposes other than resale. If buyer is not intending to resell the
products, and if the products are consumer products as defined in the Magnuson-Moss Act, the
foregoing warranty, but not the limitation of seller's liability, shall be null and void. EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY STATED ABOVE, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
WHETHER OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
USE OR OTHERWISE, ON THE PRODUCTS, OR ON ANY PARTS OR LABOR FURNISHED
DURING THE SALE, DELIVERY OR SERVICING OF THE PRODUCTS.
1-5 Precautions of Use and Installation
1. Mechanical stops provided on the integrated actuators are not designed for use as end-oftravel stops. The customer is responsible for setting travel limits.
2. Travel can be limited using optional limit switches. These limit switches need to be set by the
customer. In most applications, factory or manufacturer-assisted installation is not required.
However, it is necessary that appropriate, qualified personnel perform the installation of Joyce
Dayton products.
3. Joyce Dayton integrated actuators are not rated for shock-loading or extreme vibration. It is the
responsibility of the user to ensure these conditions are not imposed on the actuator.
4. In the event that service or maintenance is required, the load must be secured or removed
before any work can begin.
3
5. The integrated actuators can be mounted and operated in any orientation. Properly plug or
vent the holes in the protection tube (4) to prevent dirt and moisture from contaminating the
actuator (translating tube models only).
6. Never allow the integrated actuator to retract beyond the minimum closed position or extend
beyond the maximum open position, as damage to the unit can occur. Refer to Section 3-5 for
travel limit information.
7. External temperature may exceed 200 degrees F. near maximum duty cycle. Use caution to
prevent personal injury.
8. Do not use in applications where integrated actuator can be pressed against an immovable
object.
9. A brake motor is required on all integrated actuators that have a double lead. Only integrated
actuators featuring single lead acme screws are self-locking. A brake motor is recommended
on actuators with double-lead screws (DIA).
1-6 General Installation instructions
1. Ensure that all personnel who will service or operate equipment are familiar with its use and
limitations.
2. Secure or remove the load before any installation procedures begin.
3. Be certain the rating of the actuator meets or exceeds the load.
4. Integrated actuators must be mounted on a rigid structure sufficient to support the maximum
possible load. An under-designed structure could lead to premature wear or failure.
5. Drive shaft alignment is critical. Misalignment will cause reversing stresses in rotating
members and will lead to fatigue failure. Correct coupling specification is critical for systems
with more than one integrated actuator.
6. For systems with more than one integrated actuator, confirm that the integrated actuators and
shafts operate without binding or excessive force before power is applied.
7. When fastening the load to an integrated actuator, make sure the actuator is in the retracted
position. This positions the load accurately with respect to the lifting screw centerline. Never
pull the translating tube to one side to make connection with your structure. Fully extend the
integrated actuator to make sure the load is aligned with the translating tube.
8. All integrated actuators are to be mounted with S.A.E. Grade 8 bolts or equivalent.
9. Torque the mounting bolts in a systematic pattern to avoid damage to the actuator.
10. Optional limit switches, which may be furnished with the integrated actuator, are NOT pre-set.
They require field adjustment before use.
Section II
Maintenance
2-1 Lubrication
1. Integrated actuators are lubricated before leaving the factory.
2. Do not operate integrated actuators without lubrication.
3. For normal operation, traveling nut Integrated actuator screws should be greased at least once
per month.
4. The lifting screw and translating tube are lubricated with Mobilgrease XHP 461 grease, or
equivalent.
5. The products listed are recommended by the lubricant manufacturers to meet the
requirements for normal operation. The listing of brand names is solely for the convenience of
users of Joyce equipment and their lubricant suppliers; it does not constitute any endorsement.
Joyce Dayton assumes no responsibilities for the quality, performance or availability of any
listed products.
