Headway filter actuator spares: match movement, feedback and mounting
Updated
Order Headway filter actuator parts through Sea Clean using the actuator, drive and filter identities together. The right package matches movement and feedback as well as the mounting interface.
Key takeaways
- Actuator and filter labels
- Commanded versus actual movement
- Supply and feedback connections
- Coupling photographs and clearance

Identify which action has failed
Describe whether the actuator fails to start, stops short, moves without confirmation or reports the wrong position. Include the commanded state and observed physical position. A missing feedback signal can resemble a mechanical jam at the HMI; distinguishing them prevents an unnecessary complete actuator order.
Match the interfaces
Photograph supply ratings, connector or terminal identification, travel arrangement, limit switches and mechanical coupling. Record the filter maker and model as well as the OceanGuard system identity. For an assembly replacement, specify brackets and couplings explicitly. For a repair kit, identify seals, switches or drive parts separately rather than using an ambiguous actuator-kit description.
Verify travel and control response
The work package should include safe isolation, travel inspection, limit or feedback verification and a controlled filter cycle. Retain the final switch or position settings in the service record. Sea Clean can supply the identified items and arrange installation with the complete cleaning function checked afterwards.
Illustrative procurement scenario
A filter drive moves fully but the controller times out. The vessel sends position observations and switch details. The quote separates feedback repair from a complete actuator so procurement can select the supported scope.
Get it done with Sea Clean
As an authorised Headway agent, Sea Clean can handle OceanGuard diagnostics, parts supply, calibration and service. Send the fault or work list and we will define the parts, attendance and completion records needed.
Sea Clean services around 400 vessels and supplies around 2,000 kits per year. Get BWTS service, annual calibration, spare parts and water-testing coordination organised through one technical contact.
Email the checklist below with your vessel, equipment and required date. We will quote the defined work or supply. To proceed, reply with the quotation reference and purchase-order details so scope, price and arrangements can be confirmed.
Service and attendance: Arrange BWTS service, calibration and testing
Frequently asked questions
Can a visually similar actuator be substituted?
Only after its mechanical travel, supply, feedback and control interfaces have been matched. Send Sea Clean the installed assembly details for a replacement proposal.
