Crank Arm Kit for MEP-7000 Series Actuators
Installation Guide
HLO-1020
Mounting
1. From the MEP-7xxx actuator, remove and discard
the V-bolt.
2. Assemble and install the kit and actuator as
shown in the diagram below.
NOTE: In general, position both the ball joints
as close to the end of the crank arms as is
feasible for the application. Positioning a
ball joint in the slot closer to the shaft will
change the torque, rotation speed, and/or
angle of rotation—which may be useful for
some applications.
NOTE: Check for potential issues such as binding
of the linkage or damage caused by the
actuator still rotating when the damper (or
other application) is already closed.
NOTE: For additional information about installing
MEP-7xxx actuators, see the MEP-7500/7800
Series Installation Guide on the KMC web
site (www.kmccontrols.com).
Maintenance
Under normal conditions, no routine maintenance is
required. In harsh environments, however, periodic
lubrication of the ball joints may be necessary.
Each component is designed for dependable, longterm reliability and performance. Careful installation
will also help ensure long-term reliability and performance.
