Electric Linear Valve Actuators
APPLICATION
The ML6421A,B Non-Spring Return Electric Linear Valve
Actuators are suitable for use with low-voltage, single-pole
double-throw (spdt), Series 60 two-position and floating
controllers. These actuators operate standard Honeywell
valves in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC)
applications.

The ML7421A,B Non-Spring Return Electric Linear Valve
Actuators are modulating control actuators used with controls
that provide an analog output of 0 to 10 Vdc or 2 to 10 Vdc.
These actuators operate standard Honeywell valves in HVAC
applications. An internal selector plug can be used to reverse
the direction of action.
