Pneumatic actuator - AL 77-200
Operating medium
If the operating medium is instrument air, it shall be dust and oil-free.
Accepted operating medium: Non-dangerous fluids (group 2 accor- DA - double acting
ding to directive 97/23/EC). The dew point shall be equal to –20°C or,
at least, 10°C below the ambient temperature. The maximum particle
size must not exceed 40 μm. The exhaust air must pass through a
filter silencer before it is let out into the workshop.

Pneumatic actuator - AL 77-200
Note
Dust and debris accumulated on the actuator will slow down its cooling and contribute to increase of its external temperature.
Electrostatic risk
There is a potential electrostatic charging hazard associated with nonconductive paint and therefore actuator must only be cleaned with a damp
cloth.
Prevent electrostatic charges in potentially explosive areas – do not polish/rub nonconductive surfaces with a dry cloth, the operator’s clothes
must not be electrostatically charged. The tools and cleaning procedures must not produce sparks or create adverse conditions in the environ-
ment during maintenance operations, so as to prevent potential explosion hazards. The user must ensure that the operating environment and
any materials surrounding the actuator cannot lead to a reduction in the safe use of, or the protection afforded by, the actuator.
Where appropriate the user must ensure the actuator is suitably protected against its operating environment.
The user must plan a regular equipment surface cleaning maintenance for example with a damp cloth every 6 month as minimum, recommen-
ded due to the dustiness of the environment, if possible decrease the cleaning frequency.

MANUAL
Pneumatic actuator - AL 77-200
Note!
When actuator is equipped with manual override M1 max ambient temperature 70°C is allowed.
Lubrication
AL 77 actuators are permanently lubricated, and additional lubrication is normally not required. Howe-
ver, during frequent operation and heavy load it’s recommended to use oil mist lubrication or regrease
once every year / or 100 000 cycles whatever appears first.
For oil mist lubrication is a mineral oil type ISO VG32 according to DIN 51524HLP recommended. Oil
mist lubricator should be set at lowest possible value that allows effective lubrication of the actuator.
Commenced oil mist lubrication must continue.
To regrease actuator, follow the instruction “Service of RC210-280” page 4.
Note! If external accessories like pneumatic or electropneu-matic positioner etc. is mounted to the
actuator, check the accessories data sheet if oil mist is allowed.
Oil mist lubrication and grease containing polyglycole, ester or other aggressive
additives shall be avoided.

Quick actuator
Q.. actuator is used there faster operating time is requested. One quick version is the semi quick that has enlarged holes in the connection
ports for the solenoid valve. The version with larger connections, has extra holes in cylinder, endplates or spring house depending on actuator
function, see figure below.
Dimension, thread type and number of hole for medium connection can be found on the Q actuator sticker.
Hydraulic actuator
Hydraulic actuators has venting nipples on the actuator. The venting nipples may be placed in different positions depending on actuator moun-
ting orientation. For venting of the pressurized actuator, use PPE and protect the surroundings from spillage.
For opening and closing of the venting nipples, use the supplied key.
Example for venting nipple positions.
