What should I do if my actuator is not working?
Regular preventative maintenance can help keep your valves and actuators in top condition. Contact us to learn how we can help you set a maintenance schedule to minimize your risk, and your downtime, due to actuator failure.
What makes an Allied valve actuator not work?
The system or actuator filter is blocked or clogged. The actuator ports are plugged with contaminants. The speed controls are closed. There is too much condensation. The spring return units have broken springs. There are problems with the seals. The actuators are undersized. Air is leaking at the piston guide bushings.
What does leak in front of actuator mean?
The system leakage in front of the actuator is not allowing the minimum SCFM (standard cubic feet per minute) for operation. The system or actuator filter is blocked or clogged. The actuator ports are plugged with contaminants. The speed controls are closed.
Why do I have a problem with my actuator?
It helps control the temperature and air flow within the vehicle. When you have a problem controlling the temperature of the air circulating in your car, or if you can’t stop it from shooting out full blast, there’s a good chance that you have a problem with your actuator. Actuator is basically another word for motor.

Can a worn out drive nut cause an actuator to fail?
However, this is a very rare occurrence, and not the mostly likely cause of actuator issues. Much more likely is that the connection to the valve — the drive nut — has failed. A worn out actuator drive nut will not move the valve stem properly. You can see this by removing the center column cover and looking down the center to the valve stem.
