User Instructions ARG Series Standard Actuator - ACENIM0123-00 12/12

module end plate.

2.3.5 Locate the jackscrew nut or the spool (for bevel gear-

box jackscrews) into the studs and tighten the nuts

fully, with lock washers from the kit.

2.3.6 Fix a 3 way valve, to the pressure module’s rod end

side port and connect air supply pressure line to it, see

fig.

2.4 Operation –Jackscrew Override

2.4.1 To test / operate the override, turn the 3 way valves to

shut off air supply and vent the cylinder ports.

2.4.2 Turning the hand wheel clockwise advances the screw

into the torque / spring module for DA/SR models.

2.4.3 Resistance will be felt when the thrust head of the

jackscrew touches the guide block face in case of DA

actuator or on the Pull Rod hex end, in case of the SR

model.

2.4.4 Tightening the hand wheel further clockwise will cause

the guide block to move against the resistance from

the valve/ spring and effect the override function.

NOTE: In case of SR jackscrew, the spring constantly
loads the screw, and returns the actuator to fail safe
state when the jackscrew is retracted. But in case of
DA models, the jackscrew on torque module retracts
free of load and does not move the actuator in the
other direction. An additional jackscrew on the pres-

sure module would be required for this.

2.5 Automatic Operation

2.5.1 Operate hand wheel counterclockwise to completely

retract the jackscrews and lock the position with the

locknut on the jackscrew.

2.5.2 Turn the 3way valves on the pressure module to con-

nect to air supply.

2.5.3 Operate actuator normally on supply pressure.
