Application

Direct coupled actuators for direct link to LonWorks network. Actuators are easily 
installed by direct shaft mounting on air dampers in ventilation and air conditioning 
systems. Actuator can be controlled by any compatible LON system. For proportional 
modulation of dampers and control valves in HVAC systems.  The AFX24LON provides 
mechanical spring return operation for reliable fail-safe application. 

Operation

The AFX24LON actuator provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a graduated 
position indicator showing 0° to 95°.  The actuator will synchronize the 0° mechanical 
stop or the physical damper or valve mechanical stop and use this point for its zero 
position during normal control operations.  A unique manual override allows the setting 
of any actuator position within its 95° of rotation with no power applied.  This 
mechanism can be released physically by the use of a crank supplied with the 
actuator.  When power is applied the manual override is released and the actuator 
drives toward the fail-safe position.

The actuator uses a brushless DC motor which is controlled by an Application Specific 
Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and a microprocessor.  The microprocessor provides the 
intelligence to the ASIC to provide a constant rotation rate and to know the actuator’s 
exact  position. The ASIC monitors and controls the brushless DC motor’s rotation and 
provides a Digital Rotation Sensing (DRS) function to prevent damage to the actuator 
in a stall condition.  The position feedback signal is generated without the need for 
mechanical feedback potentiometers using DRS. The actuator may be stalled 
anywhere in its normal rotation without the need of mechanical end switches.

The AFX24LON is mounted directly to control shafts up to 1.05" diameter by means of 
its universal clamp and anti-rotation bracket. A crank arm and several mounting 
brackets are available for damper applications where the actuator cannot be direct 
coupled to the damper shaft. The spring return system provides minimum specified 
torque to the application during a power interruption. The AFX24LON actuator is 
shipped at +5° (5° from full fail-safe) to provide automatic compression against 
damper gaskets for tight shut-off.
