How to clean and lubricate 180 - degree pneumatic actuator

2025-05-14

Here are the steps to clean and lubricate a 180 - degree pneumatic actuator:

Cleaning

Disconnect the power and air supply: Before starting the cleaning process, make sure to turn off the power and disconnect the air supply to the actuator to prevent any accidental operation.

Remove the actuator from the valve: If possible, remove the actuator from the valve to facilitate a more thorough cleaning. This allows access to all parts of the actuator.

Clean the exterior: Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe off dust, dirt, and debris from the exterior of the actuator. For stubborn stains, a mild solvent can be used, but be careful not to let the solvent come into contact with any electrical components or seals.

Clean the internal components (if necessary): If there is visible dirt or debris inside the actuator, such as in the air passages or on the moving parts, use compressed air or a small brush to gently remove it. Be cautious not to damage any delicate parts.

Lubrication

Identify the lubrication points: Refer to the manufacturer's manual to identify the specific points that require lubrication. Typically, these include the piston, rod, and any pivoting or moving joints.

Apply the lubricant: Use a suitable lubricant, such as a silicone - based oil or a lubricant recommended by the manufacturer. Apply the lubricant sparingly to the identified points using a small brush or a spray bottle. Ensure that the lubricant is evenly distributed and does not come into contact with any seals that could be damaged by it.

Reassemble and test: After lubrication, reassemble the actuator and reconnect it to the valve. Restore the air supply and power, and test the actuator to ensure that it operates smoothly.
