FIELD TARGET TECH EPISODE 19 SERVICING AND CLEANING A STEYR REGULATOR

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I Would just bin that damaged spring disk or even better replace the whole stack. The manufacturer states damaged disks should not be reused... Probably it will never work 100% again,

also where is the lubing info coming from, lubricant just attracts dirt and will bring in temperature dependency, instability.

you should have looked at the seal/seat for any marks too those have more to do with the performance.

...might work for a while though, nice to see some of the internals of the steyer reg

The belleville washer don't really need lubrication, just applying something to prevent it from rusting (or not applying anything at all) is more than enough and keeps the regulator going. The parts that need lubrication are the parts that you didn't touch: the nozzle of the piston or the channel that the nozzle is moving in should be properly lubricated and the bottom channel of the piston should be lubricated. Taking the piston out is easy, just pull on the nozzle or insert the 2 mm allen key in the hole on the back of the regulator and gently push it out.

So in short: apply some grease on the places where the orings from the piston have to move so that the piston can move smooth and quick.

What I do to keep my regulators in good condition is blow some silicone oil through it every once in a while. I use Armasil but HuMa also sells some similar type of oil and I'm pretty sure more companies will sell similar types of oil.

Milacik,

I got the info from Hector Medina, he is Steyr authorized repair and maintenance technician. As I mentioned in the video, he advised me to put a very light wipe of grease on it, so I did so.

Broekzwans,

I didn't want to go into the regulator too deep, as I said, I'm not too familiar with it. Now I know, from your description, how to remove the piston part, for future maintenance.

Also, I have a new set of belleville washers for my regulator on order.

So far, after testing, it's maintaining it's velocity, and shooting very accurately.

Broekzwans,

The next time I need to service it completely, I will definitely take it one step further, and dismantle the piston as you said. As I said in the vid, I was a bit scared to even take it apart, but now that I know what is in it, and what is not, I have no reservations on taking it apart whenever it acts up. Better than sending it out to the factory for a couple hundred bucks....
