Description 

The POWERS Controls No. 6 Pneumatic Damper Actuator is a heavy-duty, rolling 
diaphragm, spring return actuator designed to drive large dampers, centrifugal 
refrigeration inlet vanes, and other applications requiring a large, effective diaphragm 
area and long stroke. 

Features 

• 

All metal body construction 

• 

Replaceable ozone-resistant, silicone rubber, rolling diaphragm 

• 

Pivot mounting for extended shaft or frame mounting 

• 

Positioning relay (optional) 

• 

Adjustable forward travel stops (optional) 

• 

Three spring ranges for sequencing with other control devices 

Product Numbers 

See Table 1. 

Application 

The No. 6 Pneumatic Damper Actuator controls outdoor, return air, exhaust, face and 
bypass, and fan discharge dampers. It is recommended for heavy-duty applications 
using multi-section dampers where either unison or sequence operation is required. 

 

 

Certain actuators in Table 1 are UL Recognized Components for 
fire/smoke applications under category EMKU2. This category covers 
pneumatic damper actuators used on fire dampers and leakage rated 
dampers.
