Midwest Valve Services Preventative Maintenance (PM) — Actuator Survey & Inspection

Actuators are often subjected to extreme service conditions and get little attention or maintenance until problems arise. A PM Survey is the best way to gauge reliability, schedule future repairs, and budget for outages and turnarounds. Key actions we take during our PM Survey include:

Recording actuator and name plate data, and providing pictorial report documentation (accessible through our portal)
Visual inspection for stress fractures, loose bolting, grease leaks, and damaged wires
Manually stroking the actuator and opening limit switches
Checking for noise bearings, binding, and electrical current deviations during operation
Removing a small grease sample to be inspected and analyzed
Creating a Summary Survey Report that prioritizes our repair recommendations
