Preface

Actuator Lifting and Moving Instructions

About This Manual

Conventions
The following paragraphs describe some of the conventions that are used in your
MTS manuals.

Hazard conventions

Hazard notices are embedded in this manual and contain safety information that
is specific to the task to be performed. Hazard notices immediately precede the
step or procedure that may lead to an associated hazard. Read all hazard notices
carefully and follow the directions that are given. Three different levels of hazard
notices may appear in your manuals. Following are examples of all three levels.
Note

Danger notices

DANGER

For general safety information, see the Safety manual included with your
system.

Danger notices indicate the presence of a hazard which will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the danger is ignored. For
example:

Do not place any part of your body in the path of a moving actuator.
A crush zone exists between the actuator and any equipment in the path of
its movement. Movement of an actuator, even under normal test conditions,
is usually sudden and with high force. Severe injury or death will occur
when any part of your body is crushed by the actuator.
Keep all parts of your body away from a moving actuator. If you must work on or
near an actuator, take all necessary steps to remove all hydraulic pressure from
the actuator.

Warning notices

WARNING

Warning notices indicate the presence of a hazard which can cause severe
personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the warning is ignored.
For example:

Do not allow bystanders near the system.


Moving parts may injure anyone who gets too close to the system.
Organize your facilities so that the system is not accessible to people who are not
skilled in its operation.

Caution notices

CAUTION

Caution notices indicate the presence of a hazard which will or can cause minor
personal injury, cause minor equipment damage, or endanger test integrity if the
caution is ignored. For example:

This specimen can develop sharp edges as a result of testing.


Handling the specimen with unprotected hands can result in cuts and
slivers.
Always wear protective gloves when you handle the specimen.

Notes

Other conventions used in your manuals are described in the following


paragraphs.
Notes provide additional information about operating your system or highlight
easily overlooked items. For example:
Note

Important notes

Using multiple instances of the scope (on multiple stations) can slow
system response time.

Important notes provide information critical to operating your system, but not so
critical that it involves injury or equipment. Important notes should be read. For
example:
Important

Control names

Cross references in
online media

Text you have to type


Illustrations

Preface

In the Level Units list, selecting the scientific notation display


feature may result in the loss of original level values. If your

MTS can help you more efficiently if you have pertinent information about your
test system available when you call.
You will be asked for your site number and system number.
The site number contains your company number and identifies your equipment
type (material testing, simulation, and so forth). The number is usually written on
a label on your MTS equipment before the system leaves MTS. If you do not
have an MTS site number or do not know your site number, you should contact
your MTS sales engineer.
Example site number:

C84166-W01

When you have more than one MTS system, the system (or job) number
identifies which system you are calling about. You can find your job number in
the papers sent to you when you ordered your system.

Lift and Move Instructions

Required equipment

22

You will need the following equipment to unpack, lift and handle the actuator:

A forklift or overhead crane capable of lifting the actuator and any attached
manifolds and fixtures.

Sufficiently rated lifting shackles.

Lifting slings not chains to lift the actuator.

Important

DANGER

15

All equipment used to move the actuator must be rated to


accommodate the total combined weight of the actuator and
any attached fixtures, such as manifolds, swivel ends, force
transducers, and grips. A minimum of three lifting points are
recommended for linear actuators and two lift points for rotary
actuators, see diagrams below)

Using defective or inadequate lifting devices is dangerous.


If any element of the lifting device fails while lifting and moving the
actuator, the actuator will drop or tip causing extensive damage to
equipment and creating the possibility for serious injury or death.
Before using the lifting device, determine that it is adequately rated for
the equipment being lifted and examine all elements of the device for
damage. Use the following list as a guide.

Check the identification label on the lifting device to ensure it is


adequately rated for the part(s) being lifted. If the rating cannot
be determined, do not use the device.
Inspect the shackles. Ensure that the threads are undamaged and
that the bolts are not bent. Check the rings for damage, such as
cracks or worn spots. Replace any damaged shackle components.
Inspect each nylon sling. Ensure that the slings are not kinked,
knotted, cut, punctured, or otherwise damaged. Replace the
damaged or defective slings. Ensure that replacement slings have
the same rated capacity.
Inspect the clevis and pins. Ensure that the clevises are not
damaged. Ensure that the pins are straight and that the threads in
the pins and clevises are in good condition. Replace any damaged
clevis or pin.

WARNING

Do not attempt to lift an actuator assembly by hand. Contact MTS directly if


the actuator weight is unknown or in question.
Instructions provided in this document are for standard sized actuators. For
actuator displacements of greater than 30 inches consult MTS about proper
handling and moving instructions.
Ensure that the actuator is completely disconnected from the system prior to lifting
or moving.
A dropped actuator can seriously hurt you and damage the actuator.

Do not allow the actuator to drop:

Ensure that your slings, lifting shackles and crane have a working capability
greater than the weight of the actuator and any installed accessories (such as
manifolds, swivels, force transducers, etc.).

Initially, lift the actuator only high enough to ensure proper balance.

Operate the crane smoothly to avoid sudden shocks to the slings or swinging
of the actuator.

a 252.2X manifold assembly with accumulators.
To determine actuator assembly weight for the stroke length delivered, refer to the
identification plate on the actuator assembly for the actual stroke length and use the
following equation:
Calculated Actuator Assembly Weight = Base Weight + (Actual Stroke Length Adder)
The Adder takes into account the change in pedestal base length to accommodate the
actuator stroke length.

1. Unpack or uncrate the actuator.
Typically actuators will be crated and shipped on a pallet.

Uncrate and ensure proper lifting shackles are attached prior to lifting.

Remove any packaging straps or bolts as needed.

2. Inspect the actuator for shipping damage.


Look for the following:

Scratches, chips or dents on the piston rod

Loose or missing fasteners

Torn, cracked or damaged seals/wipers

Damaged hydraulic connections

Dents and other structural damage

Report any damage found to both the carrier and MTS. Refer to the preface
in this manual for information about contacting MTS.

CAUTION

Actuator weight distribution may not be even. Weight distribution varies


greatly due to accessories such as accumulators, swivels and manifolds.
Use at least 3 lift points to help avoid sudden weight shifts and possible personal
injury or damage to actuator.
Do not lift actuator from swivel mounting holes, because swivels ends are not
restrained and can shift and rotate unexpectedly.
Actuator should NEVER rest on or against the manifold assembly.

3. Refer to the figures and tables in the section Shackle Mounting Locations
beginning on page 15 for the location and size of the lift holes for the
actuator you are installing.
4. Lubricate the threads on each shackle with a thin coat of an anti-seizing
compound such as Molykote g-n paste. Install the shackles in the lift holes.
Refer to the table, Shackle Specifications, on page 14. Torque each
shackle to the value specified in the table for the shackle being used.

5. Run the slings through the lifting shackles and attach the slings to the lifting
device (crane, forklift, etc.).
6. Ensure the lifting device is positioned accordingly to prevent rubbing of
slings against the actuator body.
7. With someone steadying the actuator, lift the actuator just enough to make
sure you have found its balance point. Keep adjusting the slings and lifting
to test the actuator until you find its balance point.
8. Ensure the path to where the actuator will sit is clear and uncluttered, with
all hoses and cables moved to protect against accidental damage.
9. Lift the actuator only as high as necessary to clear obstacles. Move it slowly
to its installation site.
10. Gently lower the actuator into position.
11. Installation and assembly instructions are provided with each specific
system for mounting the actuators.
12. If necessary, contact MTS Systems Corporation to arrange for installation
services. Refer to the Preface in this document for contact information.
