Section V Disassembly and Assembly 5-1. Lubricant When rebuilding this actuator, use only Albida LC EP#2 grease from Shell Oil Company. 5-2. Required Tools A bearing puller and press, a soft jaw table clamp, and common hand tools are required for proper disassembly and assembly of the actuator. 5-3. General Procedures Duff-Norton recommends following these procedures during disassembly and assembly of the actuator: 1. Tag critical parts to facilitate reassembly. 2.
NOTE For assembly procedures for Translating Tube actuators, see Paragraph 5-7. NOTE Be sure all parts are clean and dry before assembling the actuator. 1. Assemble one load bearing cup (13) into the shell (9), and the other load bearing cup into the shell cap (19). 2. Assemble one worm bearing (2) into the motor mounting flange end of the shell (9) (see NOTE below). NOTE The bearing must be installed from the opposite end of the shell. 3.
5-6. Disassembly - Translating Tube Actuators (Models M-2464 and M-2465) Disassemble the Duff-Norton® Translating Tube Modular Actuator as follows, referring to Figure 6-2 on page 12. Read the instructions thoroughly before disassembling the actuator. of the worm shaft. The worm bearing (2) next to the retaining ring (1) groove in the shell (9) will be driven out by the worm. The other worm bearing (2) should remain in the shell until the load bearing cup (13) has been removed. 12.
2. Assemble one worm bearing (2) into the motor mounting flange end of the shell (9) (see NOTE below). NOTE The bearing must be installed from the opposite end of the shell. 3. Notice that one end of the worm (4) has a hole in the center of the shaft, and one end does not. Press the remaining worm bearing (2) on to the end of the shaft WITH the hole. 4. Assemble the worm (4) into the shell (9) and worm bearing (2), and then install the retaining ring (1) in the shell. 5.
This completes the assembly procedures for actuators not equipped with limit switches. When assembling an actuator equipped with limit switches, continue with the instructions below. 27. Apply two or three drops of Loc-Tite No. 35 Extra Strength Retaining Ring Compound to the shell bore. If a new (replacement) limit switch adapter is being installed, follow steps 28 and 29 below. If a used (previously spot drilled) adapter is being installed, proceed directly to step 30. 28.
