Lubrication
EL series actuators are shipped from the factory fully greased and ready for installation. Exlar's
standard grease is Mobil SHC 220 which is a high performance, extreme-pressure grease.
SHC 220 is adequate for a broad range of applications. In the case of extreme temperatures,
Exlar recommends using Mobilgrease 28, also a high performance, extreme-pressure grease.
The unique physical properties of the synthetic base oil provide outstanding protection against
wear, rust, corrosion, and high or low-temperature degradation. Mobilgrease 28 allows for very
low starting and running torque values. Its operating range is -55 to 180 °C (-67 to 356 °F).
Other lubricants can be used as well and all special grease can be specified via the "XL"
designation in the Options portion of the model mask with the appropriate product identified with
Exlar Application engineering at the time of order.
Mounting Configurations
The actuator has provisions for front face, rear face, front flange and rear clevis mounting.
Every effort should be made to minimize misalignment. Any misalignment will decrease the life
of the components within the actuator and also may create problems within the application
associated with misalignment.
See an Exlar catalog or Exlar Supplied mounting drawing for the specific mounting dimensions
required for your configuration.
