2.2 Product Information

2.2.1 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 are available and very simply added to the control capabili-
ties already available on a standard actuator. Contact your local Limitorque distributor or Limitorque
sales office for further information.

2.2.2 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
ready for wire-up. 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.
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.

2.3 Product Identification

2.3.1 Initial Inspection & Recording Suggestions

Upon receipt of the actuator, several steps should be initially followed to ensure condition of equip-
ment and to establish proper record keeping.
1. After removing the actuator from the shipping carton or skid, thoroughly examine it for any phys-
ical 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 infor-
mation for use when you need to contact Limitorque with any questions about your actuator:
• Unit type/size
• Limitorque order number
• Serial number

2.4 Maintenance

2.4.1 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 Teflon® tape or paste to achieve a proper seal.

2.4.2 Unit Lubrication

Check for proper oil level every 1 million drive sleeve turns (reference Installation & 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 & Fill Criteria

(Reference Lubrication Data tables on pages 2-4 & 2-5 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 main-
tained. 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.

Lubrication Data
• Oil Specifications
MX actuators are oil-filled using Mobile SHC-632, which is a synthetic oil suitable for ambient tempera-
tures 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.

This manual divides each MX actuator subassembly into a Removal and Remounting
procedure. Use the following procedures to remove subassemblies for inspection, repair or replace-
ment. 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, 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 2.6, How to Order Replacement Subassemblies. Once
components have been identified and replaced, remount following the appropriate Remounting
procedures.

2.6 How to Order Replacement Subassemblies

STEP 8
NOTE: Retainer plate (#1-32) may sit slightly above 8
actuator housing until screws are retightened.

a WARNING: PRECAUTION NOTE

The MX-10 through MX-140 requires precaution to prevent damage to the
declutch latch. This applies while installing the handwheel adapter/gear 1-32
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.

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 & 40)

Install handwheel (#1-8) onto handwheel adapter assembly (#12),
align the handwheel with screw holes and tighten the 4 socket head

5.2.5.1 EPROM Storage & Handling

MX control modules contain EPROMs that are fragile and static-sensitive integrated circuits. Care
should be taken in the storage and handling of the EPROMs.
Do not ship or store EPROMs near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, or radioactive
fields.
Do not remove labels from EPROMs.
Store EPROMs in static-free containers with care to prevent breakage from shock or damage to pins.
Always use an ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) wristwrap and proper grounding techniques when
removing or installing EPROMs. Limitorque provides a kit which contains an ESD wristwrap with proper
grounding instructions; P/N 102424. Please contact Limitorque service at (434) 528-4400 for purchase.

5.2.5.2 EPROM Removal

It is recommended that an IC (Integrated Circuit) insertion/extraction tool be used to remove EPROMs

from the socket. Limitorque provides a kit which contains an EPROM removal tool; P/N 102424.

5.2.5.3 EPROM Installation

It is recommended that an IC insertion/extraction tool be used to hold the EPROM for installation.
Limitorque provides a kit which contains an EPROM removal tool; P/N 102424. To insert a replacement
EPROM, use the following procedure:
The notch at one end of the EPROM must be lined up with the notch at one end of the socket. If the
EPROM notch is not matched to the socket notch, the EPROM will be damaged when the unit is
powered. Gently place the pins of one side of the EPROM into the socket holes in the correct side of
the socket.
Roll the EPROM over until the pins on the other side are each lined up with the socket holes. You
may have to use slight pressure to line up the pins. When you are sure all pins are in line with the
socket holes, firmly push down on top of the EPROM until the pins are well seated in the socket.

NOTE: A problem that can frequently occur when inserting ICs into sockets is if one or more pins are
misaligned, missing the intended socket hole. In this case, the affected pins do not make contact. The
problem is difficult to see because the pins can appear to be in the socket hole. After installing the
EPROM or other IC, always examine both rows of pins very carefully to ensure that the pins are aligned
correctly with the IC.

5.2.5.4 Adding Electronic Option to Your Accutronix MX Actuator

Listed below are the options available for the Accutronix MX.
1. Modutronic option; does not require any hardware, however, a “keycode” from the
factory is required.
2. 2-speed timer; does not require any hardware, however a “keycode” from the factory is
required.
3. APT option; Analog Position Transmitter, non-contracting 4-20 mA position transmitter
requiring the addition of the I/O (input/output) option board.
4. ATT option; Analog Torque Transmitter, non-contacting 4-20 mA torque transmitter
requiring the addition of the I/O (input/output) option board.
5. AR option; Alarm Relays, (3) non-latching relays requiring the addition of the I/O
(input/output) board. Non-latching relays change state when power is removed from the
actuator, e.g. if the relay is CLOSED & power is removed, the relay will OPEN.
6. DDC option; network communication field board that is required for 2-wire twisted pair,
MODBUS communication.
7. FF option; network communications board required for Foundation Fieldbus
communication.

The procedure for adding electronic options to your MX actuator is as follows:

• For adding the Modutronic and 2-speed timer options, the actuator QA Stamp ID must be supplied
in order to acquire the necessary keycode.
• Each MX actuator is supplied a unique “QA Stamp ID”. This number is assigned
during the END-OF-LINE test sequence for each unit.
• This serial number is located on the second screen after the “RESTRICTED SETTINGS”
screen. It is an eight (8) digit number after the letters “S/N”. Please refer to the I&O
manual, 130-11000, supplied with your actuator for the Menu sequence.
• User must supply this number. Example: 12345678
• Also record the Order Number & Serial Number of the actuator.
These numbers can be found on the unit nameplate.
• Once you have acquired the QA Stamp, O/N & S/N, please contact your assigned Service
Coordinators for the keycodes required to turn-on the desired options @ (434) 528-4400.
• The “keycode” is then entered into the desired option menu found in “RESTRICTED
SETTINGS” using the black knob on the ACP. A “NO” answer will change the value form 0-9 and A-E. A
“YES” answer will truncate to the next space.
• After enabling the Modutronic option, please change the remote control wiring scheme to “3-wire
maintained.”
• For adding the APT, ATT, and AR options, the I/) option board is required. When the I/O
board is received and installed into the actuator, it will already have the option(s) enabled.
The unit will recognize the board and turn on the required software menu feature. Please
refer to the I&) manual, 130-11000, supplied with your actuator for the Menu sequence.
The user will need to enable the menu options. Please contact your assigned Service
Coordinators for purchase of these desired options @ (434) 528-4400.
• For adding the DDC or FF option, the DDC or FF option board is required. When the DDC

6 Spare & Replacement Parts

6.1 Guidelines for Recommended Spare Parts

Since every Limitorque actuator is designed to meet a specific application, the recommended spare
parts needed to support the actuator will vary for every project. The following guidelines are provided
to assist in determining the specific spare parts requirements for your Limitorque MX actuators.

6.1.1 Wear Components

The following components will eventually wear under normal use and should therefore be planned as
spares. The expected lifetime of these parts will vary from application to application. They are listed in
order of most frequent to least frequent replacement. Limitorque recommends stock levels of
between 5% and 10% of the total population of each part with a minimum of 1 of each in order to
support the product for life.
1. Stem Nut
2. Worm Shaft subassembly
3. Drive Sleeve subassembly

6.1.2 Bearings, O-Rings, & Seals

All bearings should be replaced any time an actuator is refurbished. Therefore, all bearings should be
planned for stock for any scheduled refurbishment. In addition, any o-ring or seals should be replaced
anytime an actuator is disassembled. Complete actuator seal kits are available for the MX-05/10, the
MX-20/40 & the MX-85/140. Limitorque recommends stock levels for seal kits of 10% of the total popu-
lation of each actuator model and size. Also, an adequate supply of Limitorque approved oil (Chevron
SHC-632) should be maintained in stock to support any necessary maintenance or refurbishment.

6.1.3 Critical Components

The following parts are not subject to wear but are still recommended for stock due to their critical
nature. Limitorque recommends stock levels of between 5% and 10% of the total population of each
part with a minimum of 1 of each in order to support the product for life.
1. Motor
2. Encoder
3. Control Module

Limitorque Actuation Systems

Spare & Replacement Parts

6.2 Recommended Spare Parts for MX Actuators

6.2.1 Commissioning & Startup

No additional spare parts are required. All necessary spares are included in the end-user bag.

6.2.2 Short-Term Duty

This is defined as up to 3000 seats or up to 1 million drive sleeve turns, whichever occurs sooner. There
are no spare parts required for the actuator during short-term duty.

6.2.3 Long-Term Duty

This is defined as service beyond short-term duty but less than 6000 seats and less than 1.5 million
drive sleeve turns. The spares suggested for long-term duty are as follows:

• Quad rings at the top and bottom of the drive sleeve

• Drive sleeve assembly which includes the Worm Gear
• Wormshaft assembly
• Encoder Cartridge assembly
• Motor assembly
• Fuse (Controls, quantity 1)
• Fuses (Power, quantity 2)
• Encoder assembly
• Reversing Starter/Contactor with harness
• Control Module (includes PCB-power, main, ACP, and optional DDC and I/O boards)
• Bronze drive sleeve for thrust base
• Quad rings in thrust base (MX-10, 20, 40, 85 & 140)
• Quad rings in B1 base

NOTE: Oil should be changed every 6000 seats or sooner if the oil has been contaminated with water
or other foreign material.

6.2.4 Severe Duty

This is defined as open/close service when run loads exceed 30% of the unit rating. This also includes all
modulating applications.

NOTE: Oil should be changed every 3000 seats for open close service, or sooner if the oil has been
contaminated.

The spares suggested for severe duty are identical to the long-term duty spares.

Spare & Replacement Parts

6.3 Other Concerns

There are other unique application requirements that may result in additional parts being added to the
list of recommended spares. Some additional issues or requirements that should be considered when
determining required spare parts include (but are not limited to):
1. Maintenance Program
2. Frequency of operation
3. Modulating duty
4. Frequent operation by handwheel
5. Regular testing
6. Stall/overload condition
Limitorque strongly recommends using OEM parts to support and maintain your Limitorque actuator.
Installing parts other than genuine Limitorque parts could cause premature failure of your Limitorque
actuator and voids any remaining warranty.
The above guidelines are provided to assist you in determining your unique spare parts needs. Please
contact your local Limitorque Sales Office or local Authorized Stocking Distributor for additional help
in evaluating your needs.
