AMB24-3

On/Off, Floating Point, Non-Spring Return, 24 V

Torque min. 180 in-lb, for control of damper surfaces up to 45 sq. ft.

Application
For on/off and floating point control of dampers in HVAC systems. Actuator
sizing should be done in accordance with the damper manufacturer’s
specifications.

The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05” in diameter by

means of its universal clamp, self-centered default. A crank arm and several
mounting brackets are available for applications where the actuator cannot be
direct coupled to the damper shaft.

Operation
The actuator is not provided with and does not require any limit switches, but
