Space Envelopes Required for 

Actuators and Accessories

Externally mounted actuators always require space 

outside of the damper sideplate or sleeve. The “S” 

dimension illustrates the clearance required for various 

available actuators.

On dampers less than 18 in. (457mm) high, actuators 

may also require clearances above and/or below the 

sideplate or sleeve. “B” and “T” dimensions are 

worst

 

case clearance requirements for some dampers less 

than 18 in. (457mm) high. All damper sizes under 18 

in. (457mm) high do not require these worst case 

clearances. If space availability above or below the 

damper sleeve is limited, each damper size should be 

individually evaluated.

Damper Sideplate and Sleeve Dimensional Data

The drawings below illustrate the factory standard sideplate and sleeve mountings for the SMD-401M. The standard "A" 

dimensions listed in the table provide adequate space for the mounting of actuators and controls.

If space constraints are a problem the "A" dimension can be varied between 5

 in. (136mm) and 12 in. (305mm).

* For dampers 18 in.(457mm) or more in height these dimensions are 0 in.

1 Note: This actuator requires field calibration for the zero and span setting.
