Bimba Pneu-Turn® Rotary Actuators Preventative Operating instructions

  • I have reviewed the Product Instructions for the Bimba Pneu-Turn Rotary Actuator. This document outlines the lubrication requirements for the actuator, both for standard and high-temperature seals, as well as for the rack, pinion and ball bearings. I am ready to answer your questions about the information in the document.
  • How often should I lubricate the Rotary Actuator?
    What type of oil should I use for Buna N seals?
    What type of oil should I use for high temperature seals?
    What type of grease should I use for rack and pinion gear and ball bearings?

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS
Pneu-Turn Rotary Actuators are pre-lubricated at the factory for extensive,
maintenance free operation. The life of the Rotary Actuator can be lengthened by providing additional lubrication
with an air line mist lubricator or direct introduction of oil to the actuator every 500 hours of operation.
Recommended oils for Buna N seals are medium to heavy inhibited hydraulic and general purpose oil. If high
temperature seals, use Dow Corning #710.
The rack and pinion gear and ball bearings are pre-lubricated at the factory for extensive, maintenance free
operation. If additional lubrication is required, use a high grade bearing grease.6) Carefully install retaining plate/
bushing/wiper assembly by sliding it on to rod.
