Bray Series 98 Pneumatic Scotch Yoke Actuator
Operations and Maintenance Manual
2.0 INTRODUCTION
The instructions and guidelines in this manual enable competent technicians to install, operate, adjust and carry out routine maintenance activities on Series 98 pneumatic actuators. Responsibility lies with the user to follow the instructions in this and in any additional documentation related to the product and accessories supplied with it.
User shall ensure the equipment is installed and operated in the environment that it is intended for and effective protections are provided against exposure to pressure and temperature in excess of maximum rating. Failing to do so may affect the product warranty. Only trained personnel, aware of precautions in hazardous environments and health and safety in the workplace should service the equipment.
Series 98 Actuators are designed for quarter turn rotary valves, in configurations as:
DA- Double Acting with a single cylinder
DD- Double Acting with dual cylinders
SC- Spring Return Fail Close (CW)
SO- Spring Return Fail Open (CCW)
Two output torque characteristic profiles are available in the form of Symmetrical Yoke and Canted Yoke.
Standard actuators have a mounting base to ISO 5211. MSS mounting base is available as an option.
Mounting of the shaft driven accessories is per VDE 3845/
NAMUR standard.
The maximum operating pressure of the Series 98
Pneumatic Scotch Yoke Actuators range from 40 to 150 psig, depending upon the size and configuration. Refer to the MOP (maximum operating pressure) charts or the name plate on the actuator for the maximum operating pressure.
Operating media shall be clean and dry, in accordance to
ISO 8573-1 Class 2.3.4 filtered to 5 microns or better, with pressure dew point of -20°C (-4°F) or at least 10°C (18°F) below ambient temperature.
The user shall plan and implement a periodic maintenance program to ensure the service conditions continue as intended and the actuator is monitored and maintained per manufacturer’s recommendations.
3.0 INSTALLATION
The S98 actuators are assembled, tested and delivered per the configuration ordered. The mounting of the actuator may be direct onto the valve or may require a mounting kit that would include a bracket, coupler shaft with keys and hardware.
WARNING
Use appropriate tackles and slings to lift the actuator.
Refer to Technical Data table for the approximate actuator weight. The lifting lugs provided are for lifting the actuator only and not for lifting the complete valve-actuatoraccessory assembly.
NOTICE
• The user shall ensure installation in intended service conditions and that the actuator is not covered with dirt/dust or other substances that may affect any heat dissipation capability, resulting in exceeding the maximum temperature rating of the actuator.
• To prolong actuator seal life use only permitted media of recommended quality.
• The actuator shall not be installed in hazardous areas incompatible with the defined gas groups and temperature class.
• When using manual override sandwich gearbox, ensure the gearbox has over travel at least equal to that of the actuator.
• The actuators can be mounted on valves in different positions, but care shall be taken to reorient suitably, some accessories like filter regulation units, hydraulic override power pack reservoirs, etc. that are gravity dependent for functioning.
Before proceeding with installation, check compatibility of the valve stem to the actuator bore. The length, size and configurations (keyways / double D / square) must match.
Additionally, check compatibility of valve and actuator bolting pattern. If using a mounting kit, physically check the coupler to ensure it fits the actuator bore and the valve stem.
1. Ensure the pressure module is depressurized completely by venting the ports to atmosphere and any power sources to accessories are disconnected.
2. Ensure the valve and actuator are aligned to the same position (i.e., valve closed - actuator closed or both in open). For spring return actuators, align the valve to the fail safe position of the actuator. If a sandwich gearbox manual override is used, then make sure it is also aligned with the valve and actuator position.

3. Secure the valve, bolt the mounting bracket to the valve and fit the coupler shaft on the valve stem (when using mounting kit). Ensure the actuator's bore and seating face are clean and coat the valve stem/adaptor with a suitable oil/grease. Position the actuator to align the valve stem (or coupler shaft) with the yoke bore and slide the actuator on until the actuator seats on the bracket mounting surface (or on the valve top flange, in case of direct mounting).
4. When using a manual override sandwich gearbox between the actuator and valve, first couple and fix the gearbox on the valve following the gearbox installation procedure. Back off the gearbox travel stop bolts.
Mount the actuator on the gearbox with the coupler shaft and bolt up the actuator on the gearbox flange.
5. In order to align the bolt holes, it may be necessary to loosen the valve-bracket bolting slightly. The actuator mounting bolts should easily thread into the actuator base without side loading on the bracket (or the valve top flange). If needed, turn the actuator a bit and/or adjust the actuator travel stops. Bolt up the actuator to the bracket / gearbox flange / valve as the case may be.
6. Before operating the actuator, disengage the manual override, if present. The travel stops of the actuator shall limit the stroke and not those on the gearbox/valve, if present.
7. Adjust the travel stop bolts of the actuator for the proper open and closed valve positions, per valve manufacturer’s recommendations. Refer to the Series
98 specifications for the travel adjustment range for different models.
8. Tighten the travel stop bolts lock nuts after adjusting the stop bolts. Ensure the travel stops on gearbox or valve, if provided, are now adjusted and locked to fractionally lag the actuator’s stop position.
9. Ensure the manual overrides are set for the normal pneumatic operation before putting the actuator to test in power operation mode. Refer to Sec. 15 through 17.
10. Stroke the actuator a few times at not more than
MOP to check for proper and smooth operation. If the actuator is equipped with a switchbox or other accessories, adjust them at this time.
NOTICE
It is recommended to ground the actuator assembly against any buildup of static electricity.
4.0 OPERATION GUIDELINES
Series 98 actuators operate well in both on-off and modulating applications. The accessories, control elements, tubing and fittings shall be chosen for adequate flow rates so as not to constrict flow or cause high pressure drop affecting the performance of the actuator.
Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) of the actuator is mentioned on the nameplate and shall not be exceeded.
Suitable pressure regulator and safety valve shall be incorporated in the supply line, if the line pressure is higher than this.
CAUTION
Do not pressurize from the cap end port of the spring return actuator. This port is normally fitted with a breather filter. If there is a possibility of the actuator being submerged temporarily in water due to flooding, then this port must be provided with an extension pipe with the breather filter on the pipe end, at a safe height above the water level.
Spring Return actuators work on air stroke or spring stroke by pressurizing or venting respectively, the adaptor side port
(rod end side). A 3/2 way valve is typically used.
DA models require alternate ports to be pressurized and vented for stroking. A 5/2 or 5/3 way direction control valve or two 3/2 way valves may be used.
DD models have adaptor ports of the cylinders tubed in parallel with the end cap ports of the other side cylinder.
The two cylinders work simultaneously with cap end of one and rod end of the other pressurized, at a time.

Bray Series 98 Pneumatic Scotch Yoke Actuator
Operations and Maintenance Manual
7.0 FIELD CONVERSIONS
7.1 Fail Safe Condition (for Spring Return
Actuators)
Prior to configuration change, refer to the torque charts and ensure the actuator's torques would be suitable for the new application.
The fail safe direction on Series 98 spring return actuator can be reversed from fail CW to fail CCW and vise versa.
This requires interchanging the position of Pressure and
Spring Modules.
NOTICE
It is strongly recommended to take the actuator off the valve to do the fail safe reversal.
CAUTION
Never try to unscrew and remove the Spring Rod without completely relieving the spring load on it.
1. Follow the steps for removing the Spring and Pressure
Modules from the actuator, as described in Sections 6.3 and 6.4 respectively.
2. Switch the positions of the two modules, mount the
Pressure Module first. Take care to seat the module sealing O-ring properly in the groove. Pressure Module will need to be flipped about its' axis before mounting, to get the ports to the front of the actuator.
3. Follow instructions in Section 6.6 Reassembly of the
Actuator.
4. Mount the Actuator back on the valve/gearbox and adjust the travel stop bolts, as required for proper valve operation. Tighten the Lock Nuts on the travel Stop
Bolts.
5. Check actuator for proper operation, at the rated working pressure.
NOTICE
Actuator part number and fail direction needs to be suitably changed on the name plate, after completing any configuration change. Refer to Technical Manual or contact factory for information.
7.2 Double Acting to Spring Return
1. To convert the DA actuator to Spring Return (SC or SO), a Spring Module will need to be mounted opposite the
Pressure Module with a Module Mounting Kit.
2. If the Pressure Module needs to be shifted, for the required configuration of the Spring Return actuator, then first remove the Pressure Module from the actuator. Follow the procedure in Section 6.4 to remove the Pressure Module and Section 6.6 for Reassembly of
Actuator. Skip this step if shifting the Pressure Module is not required.
3. Remove the DA End Cover (52), (refer to Drawing #ES-
00020 – DA Assembly).
4. Tighten the Studs from Module Mounting Kit into the
Spring Module Adaptor, applying thread lock compound on the threads. Install the module O-ring in adaptor groove.
5. Follow steps in Section 6.6 for Reassembly of the
Actuator.
6. Set the travel Stop Bolts on the Torque Module as required for proper valve seating.
7. Remove the air connection from the End Cap port of the Pressure Module and replace the connector with a breather-filter.
8. The Spring Return Actuator requires air connection only on the Adaptor port.
7.3 Spring Return to Double Acting
1. Remove Spring Module from actuator (refer to Section
6.3).
2. Fit DA End Cover with O-ring and fasteners from the DA
Cover Kit.
3. Adjust travel Stop Bolts, as required.
4. Remove the breather-filter from the End Cap of the

Bray Series 98 Pneumatic Scotch Yoke Actuator
Operations and Maintenance Manual
15.0 HYDRAULIC OVERRIDE
Hydraulic overrides on S98 actuators provide low effort, high thrust in a compact size for manually operating the actuator. The hydraulic override cylinders are single acting on the SR models and double acting on the DA models of the Actuators. These are available on Models 73E2 through
10E4.
The hydraulic override consists of a power pack with a hand operated high pressure pump and oil reservoir connected by tubing to the hydraulic override cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the Spring Module end thrust base on SR models and on the Torque Module flange on the DA models.
The hydraulic override cylinders are designed for 3,000 psi max working pressure and provide adequate thrust to output the required valve torque. The operating pressure required is set on the hand pump assembly through a builtin relief valve.
15.1 Installation
Series 98 standard actuators with hydraulic overrides are shipped pre-assembled with the cylinder, hand pump, bypass valves and tubing complete. The hand pump unit is selected, factory installed and the hydraulic pressure valve set per the application. No additional customer installation/ adjustment is usually required.
Actuators in service, without this override option, can be retrofitted with the override kit as described below.
15.1.1 Installing Hydraulic Override on Spring
Return Actuators
1. Disconnect air pressure and electrical power from actuator.
2. In fail safe position of the actuator, remove the end cover plate retaining the O-ring on the End Cap.
3. Firmly thread the studs (10) supplied with the override mounting kit, into the thrust base. With the piston rod fully retracted, insert the Hydraulic Cylinder into the
Spring Module positioning the air venting plug at the top.
4. Secure the cylinder flange on the thrust base of the
Spring Module with the spring washers and nuts from the override mounting kit.
5. Thread in the hydraulic connector into the cylinder port (if not already fitted into the cylinder). Use a commercial hydraulic fitting thread sealant (Loctite 542 or equivalent).
6. Fit a 3-way valve, rated for 150 psi (10.3 bar) working pressure, to the pneumatic module’s port (Refer to
Figure A).Turn the valve to venting position so that the pneumatic cylinder’s port is connected to atmosphere.
7. Fit the hydraulic hand pump assembly bracket on the rear accessories mounting pad of the Torque Module with the
4 bolts supplied in the kit. Tube the cylinder port to the pump outlet port, as in Figure A. The standard mounting, as shown, is for the actuator in horizontal orientation.
Special brackets for other orientations of the actuator can be supplied upon request.
8. On the Tee fitting at the pump outlet, remove the plug and install a suitable pressure gage (0-4000psi).
9. Remove the filler-breather cap and fill the reservoir till about 1-2" from the top with hydraulic fluid (ISO 32 grade for standard temperature service). Install the breather cap on the reservoir (do not substitute the breather cap with a plug). Stroke the pump a few times with the pressure release valve on the pump open, to bleed air out of pump.
10. Lightly loosen the air vent screw on the cylinder flange to bleed off air from the hydraulic lines. Close the pressure release valve on the pump and stroke the hydraulic pump till the pressure builds up. Tighten the vent plug when no more air bubbles bleed out. The piston rod advances to press against the Spring Rod’s end face and the thrust from the hydraulic pressure effects the override function.
11. Note the maximum hydraulic pressure setting for the actuator model (refer to the SR Hydraulic MOP table).
Check the hydraulic pressure on the gage at the end of the actuator’s stroke. Refer to the hand pump service manual and adjust the overload valve setting on the pump to the MOP.

15.1.2 Operation - Spring Return Hydraulic
Override
1. To operate the override, turn the 3/2 way valve on the pressure module to vent the cylinder port to atmosphere and Close the pressure release valve (PRV) on the hand pump manifold. Operating the Hand Pump on the power pack extends the Hydraulic cylinder's piston rod and pushes the Spring Rod while compressing the spring and operates the actuator manually.
2. Opening the pressure release valve relieves the hydraulic pressure to reservoir. The spring returns the piston rod of override cylinder to retracted position and the actuator to fail safe position.
3. To restore normal pneumatic operation, turn the pressure release valve to full Open and switch the 3/2 way valve on pneumatic cylinder, to connect the cylinder port to the air supply pressure.
15.2 Installing Hydraulic Override on DA
Actuator
1. Turn the actuator so that the guide block is at the cover end side of the Torque Module and ensure it stays in this position after disconnecting air pressure and electrical power from actuator.
2. Remove the DA cover from the torque module and mount the DA hydraulic override cylinder assembly with the hardware supplied in mounting kit. Make sure to install the O-ring on the mounting flange.
3. Remove the hydraulic cylinder's tie rod nuts and the end cap without disturbing the cylinder barrel. With a suitable socket/tube spanner located on the hex head at the piston end, thread and tighten the piston rod into the threading on Guide Block (inside the Torque
Module). Refer to the table below for tightening torque.

16.0 JACKSCREW OVERRIDE
Jackscrews provide an economical manual override option on the actuator for use in case of air failure. These jackscrews come in two types, direct hand wheel operated and bevel gearbox driven.
The direct hand wheel jackscrew has a rotating screw threading into a bronze nut when installed on the Torque module of DA actuators and on the Spring module of Spring
Return actuators. The hand wheel directly turns the screw or nut to move the jackscrew forward or back.
The bevel gearbox driven jackscrews are required to reduce the manual effort on larger actuator models and stiffer springs that require higher thrust to compress. Here the screw translates with an anti-rotation arrangement.
16.1 Installation
Jackscrew overrides are usually factory installed on the actuator. Override units are shipped with the jackscrew assembly installed on the actuator so that the actuator is ready for installation in the auto operation mode. No additional customer installation is required.
If a field retrofit is required on actuators without a manual override, the installation instructions provide a guide for a qualified technician to install and operate the Jackscrew overrides.
16.1.1 Installing DA Jackscrew Override
1. Disconnect the air pressure and the electrical power from actuator.
2. Remove the DA end cover from the actuator.
3. Free the Extension Rod from the Jackscrew assembly, apply a drop of medium strength thread lock compound on the extension rod threads and firmly tighten it into the threading in the Guide Block inside the Torque
Module. Refer to the piston rod tightening torque table under Section 15.2.
4. Coat the extension rod with NLGI2 grease.
5. Lubricate and place the flange O-ring into the groove on the jackscrew assembly flange
6. Back off the jackscrew fully in the assembly and carefully slide the mounting flange of the jackscrew assembly on the extension rod. Take care in locating the bushing and the flange seal on the extension rod.

1. To test / operate the override, shut off the main air supply and turn the 3 position valve on the cylinder port to vent the cylinder port to atmosphere. The actuator should move to its fail safe position.
2. Turn the hand wheel on the jackscrew to advance the screw into the spring module (see direction markers on the hand wheel).
3. Resistance will be felt when the thrust head of the jackscrew touches the end of the spring rod.
4. Turning the hand wheel further will compress the spring and simultaneously turn the actuator.
NOTICE
The spring constantly loads on the jackscrew and returns the actuator to fail safe state when the jackscrew is retracted. Bring the actuator to fail safe position and turn the 3 position valve on cylinder port to connect to air supply to restore auto operation mode.
CAUTION
Never disassemble the Jackscrew assembly with the spring load on the screw. Severe injuries/damage can result due to non-compliance.
Retract the jackscrew completely to free the load, before attempting any maintenance on the assembly.

17.0 EXTENDED STOPPERS
Extended Stoppers allow restriction of the actuator rotation angle higher than the travel stops provided on the Torque
Module. These Extended Stoppers modules fit on the Torque
Module for single cylinder double acting actuators and on the Spring Module for the spring return actuators.
The standard extended stops restrict the linear stroke of the Guide Block to provide the rotation adjustment up to
45 degrees from the end. A 90 degree extended stop is an option.
17.1 Installation
Extended Stoppers are usually factory installed on the actuator and adjusted to the angle per customer’s requirement if supplied as a valve-actuator package. If supplied as fitted on stand-alone actuator then the stoppers are backed off fully, to permit installation at site on the valve and they must be adjusted after installation.
If a field retrofit is required on actuators without the extended stopper, the installation instructions provide a guide for a qualified technician to install and adjust them.
17.1.1 Installing Extended Stopper for Torque
Module
This Extended Stopper module is installed only on Single
Cylinder DA actuators.
1. Disconnect the air pressure and the electrical power from actuator.
2. Remove the DA end cover from the actuator.
4. Apply medium strength thread lock compound to the threads of the Bolt (4) and thread it into the Guide Block and tighten to lock the Bolt on the Guide Block face.
