PTR/LTR Series Actuators

Maintenance Instructions & Parts List

Provide Model Number and Serial Number When Ordering Spare Parts.

The PTR/LTR Series Actuators will provide superior performance in heavy duty pneumatic and medium duty
hydraulic applications. The new PTR Series "Wear-Tek" and LTR Series "Wear-Pak" piston sealing
configurations and anti-friction ball bearings are used to guarantee low breakaway pressure and eliminate
erratic motion at low speeds.

In the event that maintenance is required, the following steps should be used as a guide. It is recommended
that a suitable oil or O-ring lubrication compatible with the operating media, such as Parker Lube-A-Cyl, be
used on all seals and mating parts to facilitate assembly.

A. Inspection & Replacement of Piston Seal, #10, Wear Rings, #15, and O-Ring End Cap, #12.
1. Remove Tie Rod Nuts, #17 from Tie Rods,#8.
2. Pull End Cap, #16 free from Cylinder Tube, #14.
3. Pull Cylinder Tube, #14 free from Housing, #13.
4. Push Piston, #11 free from Cylinder Tube, #14.
5. Inspect and/or replace Piston Seal, #10, Wear Rings, #15, and O-Ring End Cap, #12.
6. Inspect and/or replace O-Ring Cylinder, #7 (for LTR Models only).
7. Reassemble as shown in figure and torque Tie Rod Nuts, #17 per Torque Table.

B. Inspection & Replacement of Bearing, #2.

1. Remove Retaining Ring, #1.
2. Press Pinion, #3, and Bearing #2 from housing, #13.
3. Press Bearing, #2 free from Pinion, #3.
4. Inspect or replace Bearing, #2.
5. Press new Bearing, #2 into Housing, #13.
6. Replace Pinion, #3 into Housing, #13.
7. Press remaining new Bearing, #2 onto Pinion, #3.
8. Replace Retaining Ring, #1.

NOTE:
Prior to assembly of an LTR Series actuator, the rack and pinion are coated with a molycoat GN paste
and a moly grease containing a minimum MSO2 content of 3%, such as Texaco Molytex EP2.

The PTR Series actuator's rack, pinion and seals are coated with Parker Lube-A-Cyl prior to assembly.
Add lubrication as required. 1

Schematic
Built in meter-out flow controls provide for precise regulation
of actuator speed and eliminate the cost and space of
externally mounted components. A separate spring loaded
ball check is used to provide free flow in the opposite
direction.

When both cushions and port flow controls are specified they
will be stamped "C" and "P" respectively.

To Adjust:
Using an Allen wrench, turn Adjustment Screw, #29, clock-
wise for slower speed; counterclockwise for more speed.

OPERATION:
A standard double rack unit is fitted with stop tubes on the
upper rack, Energizing solenoid S14 connects valve port C-2 C-1
P4 to pressure, pressurizing actuator ports C1 and C3 (with
ports C2 and C4 connected to exhaust), causing clockwise
pinion rotation to angular position C. Alternately energizing
solenoid S12 pressurizes actuator ports C2 and C4 (with C1
and C3 exhausted) causing counterclockwise rotation to
angular position A. Position B is obtained by centering the P4 P2
control valve, which pressurizes all actuator ports. Pres-
sure applied to the upper floating pistons centers the rack S14 S12
between the stop tubes. The lower rack is free floating as
the forces are equal on both ends. P5 P3
