M9203-xxx-2(Z) Series Electric Spring-Return Actuators
Description
The M9203-xxx-2(Z) Series Electric
Spring-Return Actuators provide control of
dampers in HVAC systems. All actuators in
this series provide 27 lb·in (3 N·m) rated
torque. A mechanical spring-return system
provides rated torque with and without power
applied to the actuator. The series includes
the following control options:
• On/Off, 24 V, 85 to 264 VAC power
• On/Off and Floating Point, 24 V power
• Proportional, 24 V power, for
0(2) to 10 VDC or 0(4) to 20 mA Control
Signal
These actuators are configured for direct
mounting and do not require a damper
linkage. Actuators can be mounted directly to
a damper shaft from 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 12 mm)
diameter with a universal clamp. An
accessory crankarm and remote mounting kit
are available for applications where the
actuator cannot be direct-coupled to the
damper shaft. An optional line voltage
auxiliary switch indicates an end-stop position
or performs switching functions within the
selected rotation range.
Refer to the M9203-xxx-2(Z) Series Electric
Spring-Return Actuators Product Bulletin
(LIT-12011674) for important product
application information.
