The Bray Commercial DCS24-20 Actuator is a high-torque 24V spring return actuator designed for the precise control of large-format butterfly and ball valves in HVAC automation systems. This unit provides 180 lb-in (20 Nm) of torque, ensuring reliable on/off valve control even in high-pressure mechanical loops. Engineered for damper actuator replacements and valve assemblies, the DCS24-20 features a mechanical fail-safe position, automatically returning to the home position during a power loss to prevent system damage. Its brush-less DC motor design extends operational life while delivering consistent timing, regardless of load. The rugged housing is built to withstand the rigors of mechanical rooms, making it a staple for contractors prioritizing industrial valve automation and long-term HVAC system performance. With integrated auxiliary switch options and easy manual override, this direct-coupled actuator streamlines field installation and ensures efficient building energy management across commercial portfolios.

Key Benefits for the Contractor
  • High Torque Output: Delivers 180 lb-in for managing large-scale valve assemblies and high-static dampers.
  • Fail-Safe Reliability: Spring return mechanism ensures the system returns to a safe state during power failures.
  • Direct-Coupled Installation: Universal shaft clamps reduce installation time and eliminate the need for complex linkages.
  • Electronic Stall Protection: Protects the motor from burnout by sensing when the valve has reached its end-of-travel.
Common Technician Questions
  • What is the power consumption during holding? The DCS24-20 is designed for high efficiency, consuming minimal power once the actuator reaches its set position.
  • Can this be used for modulating control? No, this model is specific to 24V on/off (two-position) applications. For 0-10VDC or 4-20mA control, a modulating series actuator is required.
  • Is the spring return direction reversible? Yes, the fail-safe direction can be adjusted by flipping the actuator on the valve shaft or damper drive.
