1 GENERAL
1.1 Scope of the manual
These instructions provide essential information for the use
of Metso B1C series actuators. For more details about
valves, positioners and accessories, refer to the separate
installation, operating and maintenance instructions of the
particular unit.
1.2 Structure and operation
The B1C series actuators are pneumatic cylinder actuators
designed for control and shut-off service.
The linkage bearings have material options. The robust
cast-iron housing efficiently protects the mechanism from
ambient dust and moisture.
The mounting face dimensions of the B1C actuator comply
with the ISO 5211 standard.
The linkage converts the linear motion of the piston into
rotation by the actuator shaft. The actuator generates maximum torque when for example a ball or butterfly valve is
closed, and the need for torque is greatest. Another peak is
achieved at 60-80°, when the need for torque on a butterfly
valve caused by the dynamic forces of for example pipe
flows reaches a maximum.
Screws are located in the upper end of the cylinder and in
the lower end of the housing to regulate the length of the
piston stroke and also the rotation angle of the actuator
shaft.

1.6 Safety precautions
CAUTION:
Don’t exceed the permitted values!
Exceeding the permitted pressure value marked on the
actuator may cause damage and lead to uncontrolled
pressure release in the worst case. Damage to the equipment and personal injury may result.
CAUTION:
Don’t dismantle a pressurized actuator!
Dismantling a pressurized actuator leads to uncontrolled pressure release. Shut off the supply pressure and release pressure
from the cylinder before dismantling the actuator.
Otherwise, personal injury and damage to equipment may
result.
CAUTION:
Beware of the cutting movement of the valve!
Hands, other parts of the body, tools or other objects must
not be pushed into the valve’s flow port while it is open.
Also prevent foreign objects from entering the pipes. The
valves function like a cutter while operating. Shut off and
detach the supply of compressed air to the actuator during maintenance.
Otherwise, personal injury or damage to the equipment
may result.
Fig. 3 Output torque as a function of turning angle
1.5 Recycling and disposal
Most actuator parts can be recycled if sorted according to
material. Most parts have material marking. A material list is
supplied with the actuator. In addition, separate recycling
and disposal instructions are available from the manufacturer. An actuator can also be returned to the manufacturer
for recycling and disposal against a fee.
CAUTION:
Don’t use the lever in the torsion arm for manual operation when the actuator is pressurized!
Shut off the supply pressure and release pressure from the
cylinder before using the hand lever. Note also the
dynamic torque caused by the pipe flow.
Otherwise, personal injury and damage to equipment
may result.
CAUTION:
Don’t leave the lever in the torsion arm after manual
operation!
Leaving the lever in the torsion arm can cause personal
injury or damage to the equipment.
CAUTION:
Take the weight of the actuator or valve combination
into account when handling it!
Do not lift the valve combination from the actuator, positioner, limit switch or their piping. Lift the actuator as
directed in Section 2, lifting ropes for a valve combination
should be fastened around it. The weights are shown in
Section 9. Dropping may result in personal injury or damage to the equipment.
CAUTION:
Potential electrostatic charging hazard, do not rub surface
with dry cloth.

2 TRANSPORTATION, RECEPTION AND
STORAGE
Check the actuator and the accompanying devices for any
damage that may have occurred during transport. Store the
actuator carefully before installation, preferably indoors in a
dry place. Do not take the actuator to the intended location
and do not remove protection plugs from the pipe connections until the actuator is installed.
Lift the actuator according to Figure 4:
Horizontally from the stop screws, vertically from a lifting
eyebolt which has been fitted instead of the stop screw. Do
not use eye-bolts for double cylinder actuators. See Section
9 for weights.
3 MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING
3.1 Actuator gas supply
Dry compressed air or natural gas can be used in doubleacting cylinder actuators; an oil spray is not needed. Clean,
dry and oil-free compressed air must be used in cylinder
actuators equipped with a positioner. The air inlets are
shown in the dimensional drawing in Section 9. The maximum permitted supply pressure is indicated on the identification plate. See also Section 1.4.
3.2 Mounting the actuator on the valve
CAUTION:
Take the weight of the actuator or valve combination
into account when handling it!
CAUTION:
Beware of the cutting movement of the valve!
Install the actuator so that the shaft of the valve or any
other device to be actuated goes into the shaft bore of the
actuator. If the bore is larger than the shaft diameter, use a
keyed shaft adapter sleeve or bushing. There are two keyway slots in the shaft bore of the actuator at an angle of 90°.
These allow the installation position of the actuator to be
changed in relation to the valve. Metso valves have a bevel
at the end of their shafts to facilitate installation.

Fig. 5 Ways to install the actuator
The installation position can be chosen freely, although Metso
recommends one in which the cylinder is vertical. This is the
best way to protect the actuator from impurities in the supply
air or damage caused by water.
When you change the position of the actuator make certain
the indicator arrow has been turned to a position corresponding to that of the valve.
When necessary, lubricate the shaft bore and bushing with
Cortec VCI 369 or an equivalent anti-corrosive agent to prevent it from jamming due to rust.
The actuator must not touch the pipeline, because pipeline
vibration may damage it or interfere with its operation.
In some cases, for instance when the actuator is exceptionally large, the valve has an extended stem or when there is
lot of piping vibration, it may be advisable to support the
actuator. Contact Metso’s Automation business for more
instructions.

stop screw for
closed position
stop screw for
open position
There are two adjustable stop screws in the actuator; these
stop the movement of the secondary shaft in the extreme
positions. The actuator generates a torque of approximately 1.3 times the nominal torque when the piston is at
the upper end of the cylinder, see also Fig. 3. For some
valves, e.g. butterfly valve, the closing torque and position
is accurate. The stop screw at the cylinder end has to be
adjusted according to right instructions, see separate valve
specific instructions for more detailed information. An Oring (33A) is used for sealing the stop screw in the cylinder
end. See also the instructions of the valve.
Fig. 6 The stop screws in the open and closed positions
3.3 Demounting the actuator from the valve
CAUTION:
Take the weight of the actuator or valve combination
into account when handling it!
CAUTION:
Beware of the cutting movement of the valve!
4 MAINTENANCE
4.1 Maintenance general
CAUTION:
Observe the safety precautions mentioned in Section
1.6 before maintenance!
Although Metso’s Neles actuators are designed to work
under severe conditions, proper preventative maintenance
can significantly help to prevent unplanned downtime and
in real terms reduce the total cost of ownership. Metso recommends inspecting the actuators at least every five (5)
years.
The inspection and maintenance interval depends on the
actual application and process condition. The inspection
and maintenance intervals can be specified together with
your local Metso experts.
During this periodic inspection the parts detailed in the
Spare Part Set should be replaced. Time in storage should
be included in the inspection interval.
Maintenance can be performed as presented below. If
maintenance assistance is required, please contact your
local Metso office.
The part numbers in the text refer to the exploded view and
to the parts list in Section 8, unless otherwise stated.
Under severely corrosive conditions, the linkage system
inside the housing should be lubricated at six month intervals. Use Cortec VCI 369 anti-corrosive agent or the equivalent. The housing may also be half filled with semi-fluid
water-repellant grease (e.g. Mobilux EP2) while the piston
rod is in the lower position.
If you remove the stop screw, adjust the limits after
lubrication or grease filling!
NOTE:
In order to ensure safe and effective operation, always use
original spare parts to make sure that the actuator functions as intended.
Fig. 7 Removing the actuator with the extractor
The actuator must be depressurized and the supply air
pipes disconnected. Unscrew the actuator-side screws of
the bracket and pull the actuator off the valve shaft. This is
best done using a specific extractor, see Fig. 7 and Section
6. Note the mutual positioning of the valve and the actua-
tor to ensure correct functioning after reassembly.
NOTE:
When sending goods to the manufacturer for repair, do
not disassemble them.
NOTE:
For safety reasons, replace bolting if the threads are damaged, have been heated, stretched or corroded.
4.2 Replacement of piston seals
CAUTION:
Don’t dismantle a pressurized actuator!
Replacement of all seals and soft bearings is recommended
when the actuator has been disassembled for maintenance.
Operate the actuator so that the piston goes to the
outermost end of the cylinder. Release the pressure
from the cylinder.
Remove the cover of the housing (2).
