KMC Controls MCP-8031-3111 Actuator

The KMC Controls MCP-8031-3111 is a high-performance pneumatic damper actuator specifically engineered for modern HVAC systems and critical smoke control systems. This heavy-duty metal actuator features a 5 to 10 psi spring range and is equipped with a bronze bushing and linkage designed for a 1/2" damper shaft. Built to withstand extreme conditions, it is rated for smoke control applications at temperatures up to 450??F, ensuring reliable HVAC damper control during emergency operations or standard air terminal unit regulation. As the direct replacement for the M693-3095-P-1, this model simplifies retrofitting in ceiling plenum installations where nonmetallic components are prohibited. The robust metal body provides superior durability, while the included right-angle mounting bracket and crank arm linkage offer flexible installation options for contractors managing complex ductwork or VAV terminal configurations.

Key Benefits

• UL555S Certified: Rigorously tested for use in leakage-rated smoke control systems, maintaining damper integrity at elevated temperatures.
• Seamless Replacement: Directly replaces the legacy M693-3095-P-1, ensuring zero-compromise compatibility with existing 1/2-inch shaft setups.
• Plenum Rated Construction: The all-metal body meets strict building codes for installation within hazardous ceiling spaces.
• Precision Linkage: Features a high-quality bronze bushing and 1/2" crank arm for smooth, repeatable pneumatic modulation.
• Flexible Mounting: Provided right-angle bracket allows for field-adjustable rotation to align with specific air connection requirements.

Common Questions

Is the MCP-8031-3111 compatible with 1/2" shafts only?
Yes, this specific model is factory-configured with a linkage and crank arm designed explicitly for a 1/2-inch damper shaft to ensure maximum torque transfer and precise positioning.

Can this actuator be used in variable air volume (VAV) terminals?
Absolutely. Its 5-10 psi range and metal housing make it an industry standard for VAV terminals and small damper applications within air handling systems.

What makes this suitable for smoke control?
The unit is engineered to operate in high-heat environments up to 450??F, complying with UL555S standards to facilitate the safe movement of smoke dampers during fire events.
