This service instruction refers to the ABB rotary actuators 
PME120-AI (with integrated electronic unit) and PME120-AN (for 
separate electronic unit).  
 
It amends and deepens the routine maintenance description in 
the standard instruction, which we strongly recommend being 
also available for all maintenance work. 
 

 

Safety and precautions 

 

 

 

When mounting the actuator in areas which may be accessed by 
unauthorized persons, take the required protective measures. 
 
•  The actuators perform movements for positioning vanes and 

valves. Handle properly and with care. Otherwise, a hazard of 
bruise injuries may arise. 

•  When changing the oil of the actuator, thoroughly remove 

any oil that may have run down on the floor during the 
procedure to avoid accidents. 

•  Dispose of the waste oil in compliance with the respective 

local regulations. Make sure that no waste oil reaches the 
water cycle. 

•  Only qualified specialists who have been trained for these 

tasks are authorized to mount and adjust the control 
actuator, and to make the electrical connection. 

•  When working on the actuator itself or the electronics always 

observe the locally valid accident prevention regulations and 
the regulations concerning the construction of technical 
installations. 

•  Use the eye bolt at the actuator to lift or lower it. Only load it 

vertically. Do not lift or lower the actuator when it is mounted 
on a valve or similar final control element. 

•  Switch-off the voltage supply; make sure that unintentional 

switching on is not possible. 

•  Make sure that switching off the power supply does not 

affect the plant process. 

•  Make sure that the final control element is not exposed to 

process forces. 

 

Tools 

 

NOTICE 

Damage to the device due to improper tools! 

Using improper tools may damage the actuator or its 
components. 
•  Only use proper tools for maintenance work. 

 

Note 

•  Maintenance at Contrac actuators requires tools which are 

usually available in a workshop. Please consider that all 
dimensions are based on the metrical system. This applies 
also for the wrench sizes, threads etc. 

•  Use appropriate sleeves for the installation of the sealing 

rings (see 

Installation

 on page 13 for details).
