GO SERIES ACTUATOR DESCRIPTION SECTION (A) - Par. 1
File GO_DESC
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GO series actuator is gas over oil double acting actuator, fed by pressurized gas.
After being filtered, gas flows into the tank through the control valves with respect to the operation (opening or
closing) to be performed.
Hydraulic oil contained in the tank is pressurized by gas and flows into the respective cylinder chamber, while
the oil contained in the other chamber flows into the second tank. The cylinder piston stroke triggers the
operation of the actuator.
The design characteristics are shown on the data plate attached to the actuator.
These actuators are fitted with a hydraulic emergency manual override and operated by means of two
hydraulic hand pumps.
There are two types of Rotork Fluid System actuators of GO series: the scotch yoke and the rack and pinion
series.
The main components of these units are the following:
GO scotch yoke series: GO rack and pinion series:
GO-65; GO-85: GO-100; GO-130; GO-160 GO-15; GO-30; GO-60; GO-120; GO-240

The piston is made of carbon steel with dynamic
seals realized in Buna-N and Teflon.
In both series, there are two mechanical stops to enable the adjustment of the valve angular stroke by
means of stop bolts. In case of a scotch yoke type, the stop bolt for the adjustment of the open position of
the valve is screwed into the center body closing flange, while the stop bolt for the adjustment of the closed
position of the valve is screwed into the bottom flange of the hydraulic cylinder. In case of a rack and pinion
type, the stop bolt for the adjustment of the open position of the valve is screwed into the cylinder used to
close the valve, while the stop bolt for the adjustment of the closed position of the valve is screwed into the
cylinder used to open the valve.
In both series, the mechanical visual indicator showing the valve position during the stroke of the actuator
is directly connected to the valve stem.
If required, the GO series actuators may also be supplied complete with accessories, such as signalling
limit switches, position transmitter etc.

STORAGE SECTION (B)-Par.2
File STORAGE _01
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The actuators leave the Rotork Fluid System factory in excellent finishing and working conditions, as
guaranteed by the inspection certificate issued for each single actuator.
In order to keep the actuators in a good condition until they are assembled on the plant, we
recommend that the following measures be taken, during the period of storage:
Check if the plugs have been properly assembled on the fluid and electric connections, in
order to prevent dust/sand/water from entering during transport and storage.
Actuators awaiting to be assembled onto the valves, must be placed onto wooden pallets, so
as to prevent any damage on the valve coupling flange.
Protect the coupling parts (adapter and coupling joint, flange, etc.) with grease or protective
oil.
Keep the actuators in a dry place or provide protection against the direct effect of weather
agents.
LONG-TERM STORAGE
In case of storage for over 12 months, further operations must be carried out to maintain the
actuator in a good working condition, namely:
The actuator must be stroked on a 6-month basis, using filtered, dehydrated and lubricated
air in case of pneumatic actuators, or nominated hydraulic mineral oil with NAS 1638 class 6
as minimum cleanliness level in case of hydraulic actuators. Control panel functionality must
also be verified. Subsequently, all the threaded connections of the actuator and the control
panel are to be carefully closed.
While checking the functionality of the panel and the actuator, examine the electric
connections and terminals to make sure that they are clean and free from oxidation and
humidity. Also check the tightness of terminal screws.
The tightness and the functionality of the seals must be checked every 6 months.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING THE
SECTION (B) - Par.4
File GO_ASSY ACTUATOR ONTO THE VALVE
The assembling of the actuator onto the valve can be performed by:
- using the actuator housing flange with threaded holes.
- interposing an adapter and a coupling joint.
The assembly position of the actuator must be in accordance with plant requirements and with the
valve model.
In order to assemble the actuator onto the valve, proceed as follows:
Make sure that the coupling dimensions of the valve flange and stem meet the actuator coupling
dimensions.
Set the valve in the open or closed position, according to the actual position of the actuator.
Clean the coupling flange of the valve and remove anything that might prevent a perfect
adherence to the actuator flange. Make sure grease has been perfectly removed.
Lubricate the valve stem with oil or grease, to facilitate assembling.
Lift the actuator by connecting the sling to the support points of the actuator.
Make sure the sling is suitable for the weight of the actuator.
If possible, place the valve stem in a vertical position to facilitate assembling.
In this case the actuator must be lifted while the coupling flange is kept in the horizontal position.
Clean the coupling flange of the actuator and remove anything that might prevent a perfect
adherence to the valve flange. Make sure grease has been perfectly removed.
If the assembling is carried out by means of a spool piece together with a coupling joint,
assemble the latter onto the valve stem before proceeding with the assembling of the actuator.
Lower the actuator onto the valve so that the valve stem slips in the actuator yoke (or in the
actuator pinion, on rack and pinion models) or into the groove of the coupling joint, without
exercising any force and only with the weight of the actuator.
Fasten the actuator to the valve by tightening the nuts of the connecting stud bolts.
If possible, operate the actuator in order to check whether the valve is actuated smoothly.

Ensure that the actuator will not be exposed to pressure in excess to the maximum rating as
indicated on the nameplate.
Verify that medium composition (e.g., filtration, hydration) corresponds to that for which the
actuator was manufactured. Rotork Fluid System must be contacted to verify compatibility of
any proposed changes to supply medium.
Ensure that throughout the installation that there are no leaks of a potentially explosive supply
medium (e.g., natural gas).
Note: Depending upon control circuit design, pneumatically powered actuators may exhaust the
power supply gas to atmosphere in the course of normal operation. This may present an
unacceptable hazard in some applications. Consult Rotork Fluid System if in doubt as to the
suitability of the equipment supplied for your application.
Before connecting the actuator to the gas supply line, make sure that pipes and fittings are
according to the applicable plant specifications, in order to guarantee the gas flow required for
the operation of the actuator and to avoid that supply pressure drops below the minimum
allowable value.
Take every precaution to remove any solid or liquid foreign matter from the pipe work into the
actuator, in order to avoid possible damages to the actuator itself or loss of performance.
Clean the inside of the pipes used for connection by washing them with suitable detergent and
by blowing air into them.
Fasten the piping properly, so as to prevent the loosening of threaded connections, in case the
system undergoes strong vibrations.
Once the gas connections have been completed, operate the actuator and check if it works
correctly.
Also make sure that its operating times are in accordance with those specified in the test
certificate and that there aren’t any leakages in the gas/hydraulic connections.
In accordance with the operating diagram, the gas line can be connected to the control panel in the
following two ways:

The following instructions are applicable to actuators provided with electric accessories (such as
limit switches, solenoid valves, etc.).
Any electrical connections required are the responsibility of the user. Connection documentation
is supplied with the actuator.
Refer to the applicable wiring diagram to identify functions of terminals. Verify that the electrical
supply characteristics are compatible with the supplied actuator control components.
Only appropriate certified explosion-proof entry reducers, glands or conduit may be used if the
unit is installed in a hazardous area.
Remove any plastic transit plugs. Make cable entries appropriate to the cable type and size.
Ensure that threaded adaptors, cable glands or conduit are tight and fully waterproof. Seal
unused cable entries with a steel or brass plug. In hazardous areas an appropriately certified
threaded blanking plug must be used. Make sure that the components used for electrical
connections (such as cable hose conduits, cable glands) are in accordance with the
requirements and codes applicable to the plant, with reference to mechanical and/or explosion-
proof protection.
Access to live electrical conductors is forbidden in hazardous areas unless done under a special
permit. Otherwise, all power should be isolated and the unit moved to a non-hazardous area for
repair or attention.
The actuator and control components must be protected from electrical sparks, surges, and
lightning strikes as well as magnetic or electro-magnetic fields. This is the responsibility of the
user.
Electric connections are to be made by using rigid conduits and trailing cables so as to prevent
anomalous mechanical stresses in the cable entries.
Connect the electric feed, control and signal lines to the actuator, by linking them up with the
terminal blocks of electric components in accordance with the applicable wiring diagram.
On the unused entries of the pull box, replace the plastic plugs with the metal ones, in order to
guarantee perfect seal and to comply with explosion safety protection codes (where applicable).
Once connections have been completed, check if controls and signals work properly.

LINE-BREAK SECTION (E) - Par.3
File linebreak GO TECHNICAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTIONS:
40
The Rotork Line-Break system detector (RLD) is
designed to close the valves automatically in case
pre-determined pressure drop rate is exceeded, in
order to prevent gas leakage due to pipeline
breaking.
Under normal working conditions, gas pressure
will be steady or it will slowly change due to many
factors (e.g. increase/decrease of gas users).
In case of pipeline break down, the variation of
pressure drop will depend on the absolute 35
pressure, the gas density, the dimensions and the 36
type of failure, the pipe line dimensions, the
location of the failure (upstream or downstream)
and the distance from the break (i.e. the greater
41
the distance the lower the speed).
Therefore, Line-break devices ought to be easily
regulated to meet different working conditions and
all the characteristics of the line. 32
A compromise must also be made in adjusting the 37
pressure drop speed setpoint.
In fact, it must be as low as possible to detect 10
remote failures, but not too close to the normal
variation of the pipeline pressure, as the line 34
would have to be closed.
FUNCTIONALITY DESCRIPTION:
Due to the fact that many Line-break detectors
(RLD) have been mounted as a protection on the
gasline , they are placed in countryside areas, far
away from stations and cities. They need to have
their own source of energy, directly from the line
pressure.
The RLD system (see the control schematic)
includes the followings components: reference
tank (33), adjustable differential pressure switch
(40), 3/2 pilot manual reset valve (41), check
valve (35), calibrated orifice (36), gauges (10)
filters (32-37) and stop valves (31-34).
The RLD has to be connected to the pipeline
downstream from the main valve so as to avoid
undesirable closing operations during the opening
of the valve because pressure drops quickly in the
upstream line during this operation.
22
LINE-BREAK SECTION (E) - Par.3
File linebreak GO TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The connection coming from the gasline can be intercepted using a stop valve (34) and the gas is
filtered (37). When pipeline pressure rises, gas flows through the check valve (35) and orifice (36),
into the reference tank (33).
When pressure falls, it remains higher in the tank than in the line because the check valve closes
and the gas flows back into the pipeline through the orifice only. This orifice restrictor creates a
differential pressure (∆P) that acts upon the adj. pressure switch (40) if it exceeds the adjusted
value. The pressure switch acts upon the valve (Item 41) which permits the closing of the main
valve.
In order to open the main valve again, once normal conditions have been re-established, it is
necessary to reset the valve (41) with the relevant manual reset.
The faster the drop rate in the pipeline, the smaller the orifice, the bigger the volume of the rate tank
and the lower the absolute pressure the greater the differential pressure (∆P) across the diaphragm
valve.
When pressure starts to drop due to a pipeline break down, the ∆P takes time to reach its maximum
value.
The time elapsed depends on the diameter of the calibrated orifice, the absolute pressure in the line
and the pressure drop speed: the smaller the orifice, the lower the line pressure and the greater the
drop rate, the longer the time required to reach the maximum value of differential pressure.
The value of the ∆P for the operation of the adj. pressure switch valve can be adjusted within the
range from 0.2 up to 4 Barg by rotating the relevant pommel nut referring to the indicator scale.
As differential pressure needs to be limited within the selected range, it is necessary to use the 0.4
mm diameter calibrated orifice hole for the lower values of pressure drop speed at a high value of
working pressure, or the 0.8 mm diameter calibrate orifice hole, for the higher value of pressure drop
speed at low working pressure.

MAINTENANCE SECTION (F) - Par.1
File MAINT_GO
Rotork actuators are designed to work for long periods of time under severe conditions. However, a
preventive approach to maintenance helps prevent costly down time and can actually reduce the
cost of ownership.
Rotork can provide actuator maintenance contracts tailored to meet each individual customer’s
requirements.
Any personnel working with or on the equipment must be properly trained for the work they are
performing and aware of their responsibilities relating to health and safety in the workplace.
No inspection or repair should be undertaken unless it conforms with applicable hazardous area
certification requirements. Under no circumstances should any modification or alteration be carried
out on the unit as this could invalidate the certification.
Before performing maintenance, the actuator should be isolated from remote control signals and
pneumatic/hydraulic power supply. The system should then be relieved of any internal pressure prior
to disassembly.
Improper operation, adjustment or maintenance of the actuator and controls may, depending on the
application, release potentially explosive gases and / or dangerous liquids.
After maintenance has been performed and re-assembly completed, follow the inspection guidelines
as outlined below:
PERIODIC INSPECTION
Ensure that the actuator operates the valve correctly within the required cycle time.
The actuator should be cycled several times with all the existing controls e.g., remote control, local
control and manual override, particularly if the actuator is not operated frequently enough.
Verify that the power fluid supply pressure value is within the required range.
Visually inspect the external components of the actuator for physical damage.
Check pneumatic/hydraulic connections for leaks. Tighten pipe fittings as required.
Remove build-up dust and dirt from all actuator surfaces. They can inhibit cooling and thus raise the
temperature above the maximum allowable limit.
Inspect actuator paint work for damages to ensure continued corrosion protection. Touch-up
as required in accordance to applicable paint specification
