2.2 Product Information
2.2.1 Product Description
Your MX actuator controls the opening and closing travel of valves and other actuated
devices. OPEN and CLOSED limits are protected by an absolute encoder that provides
optical sensing of valve position and measures valve position in both motor and handwheel
operation. No battery or backup power supply is required. Output torque is derived from
motor speed, temperature, and voltage. If the preset torque is exceeded, the motor shuts off.
As a result of this reliable and advanced protection technology, all valve and other actuated
devices are protected from potential damage from overload, improper seating, and foreign
obstructions.
A range of control and network options are available and very simply added to the control
capabilities already available on a standard actuator. Contact your local Limitorque distribu-
tor or Limitorque sales office for further information.
2.2.2 Storage
Storage Recommendations
Your MX actuator is double-sealed and weatherproof as shipped providing all compartment
covers and cable entry plugs are left intact. Actuators should be stored in a clean, dry, protect-
ed warehouse until ready for wire-up. If actuators must be stored outdoors, they should be
stored off the ground, high enough to prevent being immersed in water or buried in snow.
If your unit incorporates a rising stem application, it may be shipped with a plastic cap
over the drive sleeve. If so, install a pipe plug or protective stem cover to protect the drive
sleeve from possible corrosion.
Preferred Storage Orientation

Your MX actuator should be stored with the motor and terminal compartment in the
horizontal position to obtain optimum service life.

2.3 Product Identification
2.3.1 Initial Inspection & Recording Suggestions
Upon receipt of the actuator, several steps should be initially followed to ensure condition of
equipment and to establish proper record keeping.
1. After removing the actuator from the shipping carton or skid, thoroughly examine it for
any physical damage which may have occurred during shipment. If you note any damage,
immediately report the damage to the transport company and call Limitorque for further
assistance.
2. A nameplate with important information is attached to each actuator. Record the
following information for use when you need to contact Limitorque with any questions
about your actuator:
• Unit type/size
• Limitorque order number
• Serial number

2.4 Maintenance
2.4.1 Recommended Maintenance
Under normal operating conditions, the MX is a maintenance-free actuator. Therefore, for

normal applications, no formal actuator maintenance is required; although visual inspection
for oil leakage and excessive noise is recommended every 1 million drive sleeve turns or every
3000 cycles. When conditions are severe, due to frequent operation or high temperatures,
inspect the oil level and oil quality more often. Replace any seals that permit oil leakage or
water ingress. When installing pipe plugs, use Teflon® tape or paste to achieve a proper seal.
2.4.2 Unit Lubrication
Check for proper oil level every 1 million drive sleeve turns (reference Installation & Oper-
ation Manual - Diagnostics Section to learn how to view drive sleeve turns data). Change oil
every 6000 unit cycles or if water or other foreign material is found during oil inspection.
Oil Level Inspection & Fill Criteria

(Reference Lubrication Data tables on page 2-4 for oil capacities when mounted in varying
positions)
• Actuator viewed in upright position (top-mounted handwheel up)

Oil level should be approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) below the outer surface of the housing
at the oil fill port.
NOTE: Do not overfill with oil because oil will expand during actuator operation.
Actuators are shipped with an oil volume suitable for any mounting position. When
checking the factory-supplied oil level, excess oil may drain from the highest oil fill port due
to the various mounting orientations of each application.
• Actuator viewed in side-mounted position (terminal compartment up)

Oil level should be up to the bottom of the oil fill plug.
• Actuator viewed in all other positions than described previously should have the oil
capacities maintained. Fill through the highest oil fill port until the oil is at a level that will
contact the bottom of the pipe plug when installed in oil fill port.

Lubrication Data
• Oil Specifications
MX actuators are oil-filled using Exxon Teresstic SHP 320, which is a synthetic oil suitable
for ambient temperatures of -20˚F to 250˚F (-30˚C to 120˚C). For extreme low temperature
conditions, alternative lubricants are available – consult factory for further information.

O-rings and seals should be replaced anytime an actuator is disassembled. Lubricate with a
substance that is compatible with Buna N seals.
2.5 Subassembly Removal & Remounting Procedures
This manual divides each MX actuator subassembly into a Removal and Remounting proce-
dure. Use the following procedures to remove subassemblies for inspection, repair or
replacement. Some subassemblies require prior subassembly removal before allowing the
desired subassembly removal. Note the First Remove instructions at the beginning of each
subassembly removal procedure. Remove these subassemblies first, then remove the desired
subassembly according to the instructions. Once removed, evaluate subassembly components
to determine requirement for a new subassembly. If a new subassembly is required, see
Section 2.6, How to Order Replacement Subassemblies. Once components have been
identified and replaced, remount following the appropriate Remounting procedures.

5.2.5 EPROM Care & Replacement
There are four EPROMs in the MX Control Module. These are located on the LCS board, on the main
processor board, on the Power Board, and on the DDC option board. Under normal circumstances, these
EPROMs should nor require replacement. Kits including the EPROMs for the DDC, Main, and LCD board
are available for unit upgrades.
NOTE: DDC firmware and Mainboard firmware must be the same revision level.
The location of the LCS EPROM is shown in Figure 5.8. Figure 5.8 – LCS Board

EPROM
5.2.5.1 EPROM Storage & Handling
MX control modules contain EPROMs that are fragile and static-sensitive integrated circuits.
Care should be taken in the storage and handling of the EPROMs.
Do not ship or store EPROMs near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, or
radioactive fields.
Do not remove labels from EPROMs.
Store EPROMs in static-free containers with care to prevent breakage from shock or
damage to pins.
Always use an ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) wristwrap and proper grounding techniques
when removing or installing EPROMs. Limitorque provides a kit which contains an ESD
wristwrap with proper grounding instructions; P/N 102424. Please contact Limitorque
service at (804)528-4400 for purchase.
5.2.5.2 EPROM Removal
It is recommended that an IC (Integrated Circuit) insertion/extraction tool be used to

remove EPROMs from the socket. Limitorque provides a kit which contains an EPROM
removal tool; P/N 102424.
5.2.5.3 EPROM Installation
It is recommended that an IC insertion/extraction tool be used to hold the EPROM for

installation. Limitorque provides a kit which contains an EPROM removal tool; P/N
102424. To insert a replacement EPROM, use the following procedure:
The notch at one end of the EPROM must be lined up with the notch at one end of the
socket. If the EPROM notch is not matched to the socket notch, the EPROM will be
damaged when the unit is powered. Gently place the pins of one side of the EPROM into the
socket holes in the correct side of the socket.
Roll the EPROM over until the pins on the other side are each lined up with the socket
holes. You may have to use slight pressure to line up the pins. When you are sure all pins are
in line with the socket holes, firmly push down on top of the EPROM until the pins are well
seated in the socket.
NOTE: A problem that can frequently occur when inserting ICs into sockets is if one or
more pins are misaligned, missing the intended socket hole. In this case, the affected pins do
not make contact. The problem is difficult to see because the pins can appear to be in the
socket hole. After installing the EPROM or other IC, always examine both rows of pins very
carefully to ensure that the pins are aligned correctly with the IC.

6 Spare & Replacement Parts
6.1 Guidelines for Recommended Spare Parts
Since every Limitorque actuator is designed to meet a specific application, the recommended
spare parts needed to support the actuator will vary for every project. The following
guidelines are provided to assist in determining the specific spare parts requirements for your
Limitorque MX actuators.
6.1.1 Wear Components
The following components will eventually wear under normal use and should therefore be
planned as spares. The expected lifetime of these parts will vary from application to applica-
tion. They are listed in order of most frequent to least frequent replacement. Limitorque
recommends stock levels of between 5% and 10% of the total population of each part with a
minimum of 1 of each in order to support the product for life.
1. Stem Nut
2. Worm Shaft subassembly
3. Drive Sleeve subassembly
6.1.2 Bearings, O-Rings, & Seals
All bearings should be replaced any time an actuator is refurbished. Therefore, all bearings
should be planned for stock for any scheduled refurbishment. In addition, any o-ring or seals
should be replaced anytime an actuator is disassembled. Complete actuator seal kits are avail-
able for the MX-05/10 and the MX-20/40. Limitorque recommends stock levels for seal kits
of 10% of the total population of each actuator model and size. Also, an adequate supply of
Limitorque approved oil (Exxon Teresstic SHP 320) should be maintained in stock to
support any necessary maintenance or refurbishment.
6.1.3 Critical Components
The following parts are not subject to wear but are still recommended for stock due to their
critical nature. Limitorque recommends stock levels of between 5% and 10% of the total
population of each part with a minimum of 1 of each in order to support the product for life.
1. Motor
2. Encoder
3. Control Module
Spare & Replacement Parts WTR Series
6.2 Recommended Spare Parts for MX Actuators
6.2.1 Commissioning & Startup
No additional spare parts are required. All necessary spares are included in the end-user bag.
6.2.2 Short-Term Duty
This is defined as up to 3000 seats or up to 1 million drive sleeve turns, whichever occurs
sooner. There are no spare parts required for the actuator during short-term duty.
6.2.3 Long-Term Duty
This is defined as service beyond short-term duty but less than 6000 seats and less than 1.5
million drive sleeve turns. The spares suggested for long-term duty are as follows:
• Quad rings at the top and bottom of the drive sleeve

• Drive sleeve assembly which includes the Worm Gear
• Wormshaft assembly
• Encoder Cartridge assembly
• Motor assembly
• Fuse (Controls, quantity 1)
• Fuses (Power, quantity 2)
• Encoder assembly
• Reversing Starter/Contactor with harness
• Control Module (includes PCB-power, main, ACP, and optional DDC and I/O boards)
• Bronze drive sleeve for thrust base
• Quad rings in thrust base (MX-20/40 only)
• Quad rings in B1 base
NOTE: Oil should be changed every 6000 seats or sooner if the oil has been contaminated
with water or other foreign material.
6.2.4 Severe Duty
This is defined as open/close service when run loads exceed 30% of the unit rating. This also
includes all modulating applications.
NOTE: Oil should be changed every 3000 seats for open close service, or sooner if the oil has
been contaminated.
The spares suggested for severe duty are identical to the long-term duty spares.
Spare & WTR Series
Replacement Parts
6.3 Other Concerns
There are other unique application requirements that may result in additional parts being
added to the list of recommended spares. Some additional issues or requirements that should
be considered when determining required spare parts include (but are not limited to):
1. Maintenance Program
2. Frequency of operation
3. Modulating duty
4. Frequent operation by handwheel
5. Regular testing
6. Stall/overload condition
Limitorque strongly recommends using OEM parts to support and maintain your
Limitorque actuator. Installing parts other than genuine Limitorque parts could cause prema-
ture failure of your Limitorque actuator.
The above guidelines are provided to assist you in determining your unique spare parts
needs. Please contact your local Limitorque Sales Office or local Authorized Stocking
Distributor for additional help in evaluating your needs.
