Two-Position, Non-Spring Return Actuators
This actuator provides two-position operation of
dampers or valves in heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning systems, and similar applications
where return-to-normal position is not required.
Features:
• Two-position actuators controlled by SPDT controller.
• Non-spring return.
• 24, 120, and 240 Vac models available.
• SPDT auxiliary switch is standard.
• Rugged die cast aluminum housings.
• Oil immersed motor and gear train.
