Sizing and Selecting Actuators for Control Dampers Damper Actuators should be simple, but when the time comes to choose one for a new installation or replacement, the options and terminology can become overwhelming. Fail-safe, non-fail- safe? Modulating or floating point? Direct or remote mounting? If you don’t even understand the questions, you have no chance of answering them correctly. This course will walk through the proper selection of a damper actuator. This will include how to determine how much torque is required; when to use a spring-return actuator; and how to get the proper actuator for the desired control. From there we will explore proper mounting, including mounting on a multi-section and detached damper setup. Presenter: Rick Smith Regional Applications Consultant Northeast Region Rick Smith is currently the Regional Applications Consultant (RAC) for Belimo Americas representing the North East Region.
