h) Turn the adjustor pin until the scribe mark on the adjustor pin is pointing toward the base of the

servovalve.

i) Tighten the self-locking nut until 1.13 to 1.36 N·m (10 to 12 lb·in) of torque is needed to turn the adjustor

pin, ensuring that the scribe mark remains pointing toward the base of the servovalve.

j) Remove the torque wrench and offset wrench.

4. Finish the procedure.

a) Ensure that the actuator is warmed up. If not, go to Step 1.

b) Remove hydraulic and electric power from the system.

c) Reconnect the servovalve cable.

d) Reapply hydraulic and electric power to the system.

e) Complete the valve balance procedure (see your controller manual).

Performing Sensor Calibration

Calibration intervals depend on system requirements and are typically performed during scheduled maintenance
by MTS trained personnel. Contact MTS for additional information on sensor calibration.

Sensors can include LVDTs, load cells, and extensometers. All sensors require calibration to ensure that
their outputs accurately represent the physical condition they sense (that is, force or displacement). When
you calibrate a sensor, you are calibrating the test system to properly interpret the sensor signal.

Sensors included with your test system are usually factory-calibrated, and the corresponding sensor calibration
files are included with your system software. If you change a sensor or add a new sensor to your system,
you must calibrate the new sensor/conditioner pair against a standard to ensure the sensor’s accuracy.

Sensors must be calibrated before they can be used to support control modes or auxiliary data channels.
