On/Off, Spring Return, 100 to 240 VAC

Torque min. 270 in-lb, for control of air dampers

Application

For On/Off, fail-safe control of dampers in HVAC systems. Actuator sizing should be
done in accordance with the damper manufacturer’s specifications. Control is On/Off 
from an auxiliary contact, or a manual switch.

The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05” in diameter by means
of its universal clamp. A crank arm and several mounting brackets are available for
applications where the actuator cannot be direct coupled to the damper shaft.

Operation

The EFB and EFX series actuators provide true spring return operation for reliable fail-
safe application and positive close off on air tight dampers. The spring return system 
provides constant torque to the damper with, and without, power applied to the
actuator.

The EFB and EFX series provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a graduated
position indicator showing 0° to 95°. 

The actuator may be stalled anywhere in its normal rotation without the need of 
mechanical end switches.

The EFB120-S and EFX120-S versions are provided with two built-in auxiliary
switches. These SPDT switches provide safety interfacing or signaling, for example, for 
fan start-up. The switching function at the fail-safe position is fixed at +10°, the other
switch function is adjustable b10° to +85°. The EFB120, EFB120-S, EFX120 
and EFX120-S actuator is shipped at +5° (5° from full fail-safe) to provide automatic 
compression against damper gaskets for tight shut-off.
