KMC Controls MCP-8031-8101 Actuator

The KMC Controls MCP-8031-8101 is a heavy-duty pneumatic damper actuator designed for reliable modulation of VAV terminals, ductwork, and small dampers in commercial HVAC systems. This model is a direct replacement for M693-8095 and M693-8095-1, offering a 1-11/16-inch stroke and a 4 to 8 PSI spring range. Engineered with a rugged metal body, it is fully compliant for installation in ceiling plenum environments where nonmetallic components are restricted. The internal neoprene diaphragm provides consistent linear force, delivering 20 lbf at 0 PSI and up to 81 lbf at 18 PSI for precise airflow control. This unit includes a right-angle mounting bracket and a clevis connection with bronze bushings and cotter pins, ensuring high-cycle durability. Professional installers utilize this actuator for its versatile mounting orientation and seamless integration with existing pneumatic control air systems, maintaining stable pressure for localized zone regulation.

Key Benefits

• Metal Body Construction: Approved for use in ceiling plenum areas, meeting strict fire safety protocols for commercial buildings.
• OEM Compatibility: Serves as the official replacement for M693-8095, allowing for rapid field retrofits without duct modifications.
• Precise 4-8 PSI Range: Optimized for fine-tuned modulation of VAV actuator positions in standard pneumatic loops.
• Integrated Linkage: Comes complete with a bronze-bushed clevis and bracket for immediate damper actuator installation.
• High Force Output: Provides reliable mechanical advantage to overcome static pressure in small-to-medium damper assemblies.

Common Questions

What is the maximum air pressure for this actuator?
The KMC MCP-8031-8101 supports a maximum control pressure of 30 PSI, though it is standardly operated within a 0 to 20 PSI range for peak performance.

Will this work in high-temperature smoke control sequences?
Yes, this metal-body actuator is designed to withstand temperatures up to 450??F for 30 minutes, making it suitable for certain smoke control damper applications under UL555S standards.

Are there specific air quality requirements?
For long-term reliability, the unit must be supplied with clean, dry, oil-free control air to prevent degradation of the neoprene diaphragm.
