KMC Controls MEP-5061 Actuator
The KMC Controls MEP-5061 is a robust tri-state control actuator designed for the precise positioning of small dampers in air terminal units and VEP-40 series valves. Delivering 50 in-lb of torque, this 24V damper actuator features a non-spring return motor with a 90-degree stroke achieved in approximately 5 minutes (18?? per minute). This model serves as the direct replacement for MEP-1505, ensuring seamless mechanical and electrical integration into existing building automation systems. As a 3-wire floating actuator, it supports bidirectional control via an SPDT thermostat or DDC controller. The unit is built with adjustable end stops to limit rotation and a manual gear disengagement button for field positioning without power. Engineered for HVAC damper control, it mounts directly to 1/2-inch or 3/8-inch shafts, providing a reliable solution for air velocity management and zone control.
Key Benefits:- Universal Compatibility: Engineering as a drop-in MEP-1505 replacement makes it a standard for legacy system overhauls.
- Precise Damper Control: Features 50 in-lb torque and 18 degree per minute timing for stable air terminal performance.
- Simplified Installation: Direct-coupled mounting eliminates complex linkages, while the 3-wire 24VAC connection reduces wiring overhead.
- Field Flexibility: Includes manual override and adjustable end stops for tailored stroke range in the field.
- Protection: Integrated overload protection ensures the motor stalls safely if it encounters an obstruction.
Is the MEP-5061 compatible with 3/8-inch shafts?
Yes, while it mounts directly to 1/2-inch shafts, it is compatible with 3/8-inch diameter damper shafts when using the HFO-0011 shaft adaptor.
Does this unit have a fail-safe position?
No, the MEP-5061 is a non-spring return (fails-in-place) actuator. For spring-return requirements, consult our team for an alternative model.
Can I add auxiliary switches to this actuator?
Yes, it is designed to accept field-installed feedback potentiometers or auxiliary switches for status monitoring in building automation networks.
