Rotary Actuators without Feedback

DM Actuator

[Technical Information]

Overview

The Model DM Actuators provide positive and precise modulating control of boiler draft control dampers, combustion air louvers, or other final control elements:

  • The actuator is used to position combustion air & fuel gas dampers and fuel control valves 
  • An integral interlock switch proves an open damper position for purge proving or a low-fire position for fuel valves prior to light-off, thereby assuring a safe burner light-off
  • The DM Actuator is used on control dampers that have a maximum 6.5 sq. ft. area
  • For heavy-duty service, use the Preferred Instruments PL-2 linear actuators

Operation

  • The DM Actuator utilizes an instantly reversible motor to rotate a hardened steel output shaft through a reduction of precision gears
  • The output shaft actuates four adjustable cam operated switches: two (2) travel limit switches to stop motor operation at pre-selected positions and auxiliary switch to provide damper position proving interlocks. 
  • The motor has an integral brake for positive positioning, and can be stopped, started, or instantly reversed at any time within its travel without overheating or loss of power.
  • For maximum durability, the motor and gear train are sealed in an oil filled compartment.
