Figure 1- Shaft
d. Scoring or galling on
shaft journal.
This problem can be repaired with hard chrome, however, many critical dimensions must be
held - this type of repair must be performed by factory only.
e. Scoring or galling on end of "A" (major) diameter.
This is another problem that can be repaired; however, it is recommended that this type
repair be performed by factory only.
B. Body
1. Scoring of .010 or more calls for terminal replacement of this part. Any light scoring can be
polished out with 400-grit emery cloth or it's equivalent.
NOTE:
When pressurized, the body will expand and contract. For this reason, plating or
sleeving is not recommended by the factory for repair.
2. Cracks may be found across the dowel holes, bolt holes or ports. This calls for terminal
replacement.
3. Dowel holes may be elongated or out of round. These holes may be drilled oversize or rebushed,
however, the proper size and location of the dowel hole must be known to accomplish this repair.

C. Heads 1. Bearing area units will have either, one or two separate
bearings, depending on the model.
a. Thrust bushing may be worn or scored on either the I.D. of
the journal bearing area, the ID of the shoulder seal
groove area of the bushing or on the face of the thrust
surface itself. There are several styles of thrust bearings.
One is a removable thrust bushing and one is part of the
head (New Style for MP Model). See Figure 2.
b. Replacement of bushing must be done in the following
steps:

E. Seals
1. Cut or shaved seal is usually done when assembled.
This can occur in a number of different ways. Refer to assembly instruction for proper assembly.
SEAL REPLACEMENT AND ASSEMBLY FOR MPJ-MPR-HN-XL-CG MODELS:
The assembly area must be clean and free from all dirt, dust, or other harmful material. A Teflon or metal
workbench is the best type bench for the assembly. Parts should be recleaned if necessary. A small pliable
brush should be used so all seal grooves, dowel holes, bolt holes and other hard-to-get-at areas are clean.
Remove all burrs that may be on any part. Do not break corners on shaft "A" diameter or body (see figure 1).
These sharp edges are important to the operations and function of the Rotac actuator. Assembly tools are
available for the following models: XL, CG, RN, and MP. If assembly tools are not available (see figure 3 and
Table 1), use shim stock to protect the seals (see figure 6). For general seal location see figure 4 and figure 5.
A. Lubricate all seals and internal parts with grease that
is compatible with the driving fluid used. DE-ES
lubriplate by Fiske Brothers is used at the factory.
Petroleum jelly also works fine in most hydraulic
systems.
B. Shaft Seals
1. MPR-RN only place retainer seal, shaft seal and
shaft seal back-ups or (shaft seal caps on later
models built after January 1981) into retainers.
Install retainers on head. Secure with bolts and
torque to valve as shown in Table 2.
2. For Models MPJ and CG place shaft seal cushion
and shaft seal cap into its respective groove.
C. For models XL and HN place shaft seal and shaft seal
back up into its respective groove.
D. For CG only. Place ball in vertical drain hole of head.
E. For CG only. Place spring on top of ball in vertical
drain hole of head.
F. For CG only. Place O-Ring seal (if replacement is
needed) on groove of drain plug, then screw the drain
plug assembly into threaded vertical drain hole of head,
torque snugly, using 1/8 Allen wrench.
G. MPJ-MPR-XL-CG. Place shoulder seal cushion into its groove. Be sure all entrapped air is out from
under the cushion and seated in the groove.
H. MPJ-MPR-XL-CG. Install shoulder seal with flat side against cushion
I.

T. Place the vane of the shaft at right angles to the shoe. Tuck the shoe seal and the vane seal into the
body and push straight in until the vane is approximately 1/8 inch from the head. While the shaft is
being inserted into the body, pressure must be applied to the top of the vane seal to prevent the seal
from riding upward.
U. Install the second shoe (if required). Remember to leave the shoe about 1/8 inch higher than the shaft.
V. Push the shaft and shoe(s) down together with the shaft bottoming first. CAUTION: If the shoe
bottoms first, the sharp edges of the shaft will pinch the corners of the shoe seal and cause unusual
high internal leakage.
W. Press the corners of the shoe and vane seals below the surface of the body.

Note:
Caution:
DO NOT ALLOW
VANE SEALS TO
CROSS SHOE
DOWELS HOLES
OR PORT HOLES.
After shoe and
shaft are installed,
rotate shaft to
Position #2 (Vane
Seal approximately
opposite the shoe).
