The type of actuator required depends on several factors.
1. Obtain damper torque ratings (ft-lb/ft
manufacturer.
2. Determine the area of the damper.
3. Calculate the total torque required to move the damper:
Total Torque =
1
Safety Factor: When determining the torque of an actuator required, a
safety factor should be included for unaccountable variables such as slight
misalignments, aging of the damper, etc. A suggested safety factor is 0.80
(or 80% of the rated torque).
4. Select the actuator type from Table 3.
Total Torque
<44 lb-in (5 Nm)
<88 lb-in (10 Nm)
<132 lb-in (15 Nm)
<177 lb-in (20 Nm)
<310 lb-in (35 Nm)
>310 lb-in >620 lb-in
(35 Nm – 70 Nm)
Place the actuator on the damper shaft so that the front of the actuator is
accessible. The label is on the front side. A mounting bracket is included with the
actuator.
The minimum damper drive shaft length is 3/4-inch (20 mm).
Observe the service envelope around the actuator as shown in Figure 22.
Detailed mounting instructions are included with each actuator.
