Features
The rotary actuator drives the damper to the desired operating position after connecting the
operating voltage.
● Brushless, robust DC motors ensure reliable operation regardless of load.
● The rotary actuators do not require an end position switch, are overload proof, and remain
in place upon reaching the end stop.
● The gears are maintenance free and low noise.
● Simple and reliable shaft integration.
● Mounting bracket included.

Use
Non-spring return rotary actuators. Application in ventilation and air conditioning plants to
operate air dampers and air throttles.
● For damper areas up to 0.3 m2, friction dependent.
● Suitable for use with modulating controllers (DC 0/2...10 V), open-close or three-position
controllers.
● For directly driven zone dampers to control air flow in air ducts.
● We recommend a minimum pulse length of 500 ms on rotary actuators operated with
3-point control to ensure continuous and accurate operation.

Position indication: Rotary angle position indication by a position indicator/hand lever.
Mechanical
Position indication: • Output voltage U = DC 0/2...10 V is generated
Electrical proportional to the rotary angle.
• U depends on the rotary direction of the DIL
switch setting.
Auxiliary switches Fixed position 5° / 85°
Manual adjustment The actuator can be manually adjusted by pressing the gear train disengagement
button.
