MAINTENANCE

 

The Beck Group 14 drive requires only minimal  

routine maintenance.  Periodic lubrication of the 
gearing is recommended to extend gear life.  
Periodic visual inspections are recommended 
to verify that the connection to the valve is intact 
and operating normally.  If vibration is present, 
check the electrical terminal connections and 
other hardware for tightness.  

 

The drive train parts of the Beck control drive 

are factory lubricated and in normal service will 
not need relubrication for five years.  Control 
drives in more active service will require more 
frequent relubrication.  Any drive operating near 
its rated thrust and with a frequency of operation 
greater than one per minute on a 24 hour 
schedule should be inspected every two years.  

 

To inspect or lubricate the output gear only, 

remove the cover plate (1/2” bolt heads) on the 
side opposite the motor.  The output gear is not 
field replaceable.
 

To inspect all the gears, first remove the 

motor from the housing, following the instructions 
on page 33.  Then, remove the housing assembly 
from the body (1/2” bolt heads).  Clean all parts 
thoroughly, removing as much old lubrication 
as possible.  Examine the gear teeth for signs 
of excessive wear, scoring, or other damage.  
Check for excessive free play of gears on shafts.  
The assembly is not field repairable and should 
be returned to the factory if excessive wear is 
noted.
 

Before reassembly, recoat the teeth with 

a heavy layer of Fiske Lubriplate GR-132 or 
equivalent.  GR-132 is an E.P. grease with 
polymer additives.  To reinstall the gear housing, 
carefully position the housing on the body’s 
alignment pins.  Replace the bolts and tighten to 
10 lb-ft.
 

Reattach the motor per the instructions on 

page 33.
