Note regarding this installation and operating manual
This Installation and Operating Manual (EB) provides guidance
for safe assembly and operation.
The notes and instructions in this EB are binding when handling
PFEIFFER devices. The figures and illustrations in this EB are
examples and must therefore be considered as such.
Ö For safe and correct use, read this EB carefully prior to use
and keep it for later reference.
Ö In the case of questions that go beyond the scope of this EB,
please contact the After Sales Service at PFEIFFER Chemie-
Armaturenbau GmbH.
Ö This manual only applies to the rotary actuator itself, the
respective additional manual applies for the installed valve.

Table 15-7 in Chapter “15.1.2 Lubricants”.
− High temperature actuator HT with FPM o-rings:
from -15°C (+5°F) to +150°C (+300°F).
Info
For low as well as high temperature use, special lubricants are
3.14.1 Shaft assembly
required. Please contact PFEIFFER. A high or low temperature (see Figure 3-3, Figure 3-4, Figure 3-5 and Figure 3-6)
can influence the service life of the actuator.
3.11 Lubrication
The actuators are delivered lubricated for the service life of the
actuator. The standard lubricant is approved for a temperature
range from -40°C (-40°F) to +80°C (+176°F). For low (SLT) and
high (HT) temperatures, a special lubricant is required. Please
contact PFEIFFER.
Info
For lubricants recommended for the rotary actuators when used
under standard conditions, see Table 15-7 in Chapter “15.1.2
Lubricants”.

Ö Guide the shaft (30) partially into the housing (29), see Fig-
ure 3-5.
3.13 Response time

The response times can be found on the data sheets for the re-
spective actuator sizes, see  DB 31a-E2010.
Info
The response time depends on several factors, such as supply
pressure, flow rate of the operating medium (pipe diameter, flow
capacity of the pneumatic components), valve type, valve torque
and characteristics, applied safety factor, operating frequency
and temperature, etc.

00030 range from -40°C (-40°F) to +80°C (+176°F). For low (SLT) and
F05 M6 10 => 11 high (HT) temperatures, a special lubricant is required. Please
