Electric Non-Spring-Return Actuator

Electric Damper Actuators

M9106-xGx-2 Series Electric Non-Spring-Return Actuators

Description

The M9106-xGx-2 Series direct-mount electric
actuators operate on AC 24 V power and are
available for use with on/off, floating, or
proportional controllers. These
non-spring-return actuators are easily installed

Electric Damper Actuators

Electric Damper ActuatorsElectric Damper Actuators

on a VAV box, a damper with a round shaft up
to 1/2 in. (13 mm) in diameter, or a square
shaft up to 3/8 in. (10 mm). The M9106 with an
M9000-520 linkage can also be used to
position VG1000 Series 1/2 in. (DN15) to
1-1/2 in. (DN40) ball valves.

The M9106 Series models have 53 lb·in
(6 N·m) running torque. These actuators have
a nominal 60-second travel time for 90° of
rotation at 60 Hz (72 seconds at 50 Hz) with a
load-independent rotation time.

The M9106-xGC-2 models are available with
integral auxiliary switches to perform switching
functions at any angle within the selected
rotation range. The -GGx models feature
DC 0(2) to 10 V position feedback, and the

-AGF models provide 10,000 ohm position
feedback.

Features

• simple direct coupling reduces installation
and commissioning time and improves
reliability by eliminating damper linkages;
single screw coupling provides three-point
shaft gripping

• designed for zone damper and ball valve
actuator applications

• small, compact design allows installation in
tight-fitting locations

• on/off, floating, and proportional control
inputs

• 60-second running time at 60 Hz

• long life brushless synchronous drive motor
technology provides constant running time
independent of load

• robust 53 lb·in (6 N·m) torque rating

Electric Damper Actuators

• whisper quiet 35 dBA noise rating

• magnetic clutch provides over torque
protection over the entire range of rotation

• -4 to 125°F (-20 to 52 °C) ambient
temperature rating

• 100,000 full stroke cycle, 2,500,000
reposition rating

• manual gear release simplifies setup and
field adjustments

• 1/2 in. NPT threaded conduit opening
meets electrical code requirements and
allows the use of flexible armored cable

• position feedback (-GGX models) provides
simple, closed-loop control with accurate
position sensing

• adjustable rotation stops allow application
versatility with 30 to 90° clockwise or
counterclockwise rotation

Applications

The M9106 actuators are used to position
balancing, control, round, and zone dampers
in typical HVAC applications. The M9106 can
also be used with an M9000-520 linkage to
control 1/2 in. (DN15) to 1-1/2 in. (DN40)
VG1000 Series ball valves. The M9106 Series
actuator mounts directly on the duct surface,
round damper, or small rectangular damper
with an anti-rotation bracket and two sheet
metal screws (included). Additional linkages or
couplers are not required.

Refer to the damper or VAV box
manufacturer’s information to select the
proper timing for the actuator. Refer to the
appropriate application note for specific wiring
diagrams and information.
