KMC Controls MCP-8031-5101 Actuator

The KMC Controls MCP-8031-5101 is a commercial-grade pneumatic damper actuator specifically engineered for regulating airflow in VAV terminal units, ductwork, and small dampers. This model features a robust metal body, making it a reliable solution for ceiling plenum installations where nonmetallic components are restricted. With a nominal spring range of 8-13 PSI and a 1-11/16 inch stroke, it provides consistent linear force for precise HVAC control. Designed for versatility, the unit includes a right-angle mounting bracket and can be rotated within the bracket to accommodate various air connection orientations. As a direct replacement for M693-5095-1, it allows for seamless retrofitting in existing pneumatic systems. Each unit is supplied with bronze bushings, a clevis, and cotter pins to ensure a secure mechanical linkage between the actuator shaft and the damper blade. The neoprene diaphragm and zinc-plated CRS construction provide durable performance across an operating temperature range of -20?? to 180??F.

• Plenum Rated Construction: The all-metal body meets strict code requirements for installation within ceiling plenums and sensitive air handling spaces.
• High-Torque Performance: Delivers approximately 54 in-lb of retracted torque, ensuring reliable movement of dampers even in systems with higher static pressure.
• Drop-In Compatibility: Serves as the factory-authorized replacement for M693-5095-1, maintaining original system calibration and 8-13# spring range.
• Modular Installation: The included clevis and cotter pins allow for quick connection to standard damper crankarms without specialized tooling.

Is the MCP-8031-5101 suitable for smoke control applications?
While the MCP-8031 series is built with a metal body, this specific 5101 model is primarily intended for general HVAC and VAV terminal control; always verify UL555S requirements for dedicated smoke damper systems.

What is the maximum supply pressure this actuator can handle?
The KMC MCP-8031-5101 has a maximum supply pressure rating of 30 PSI, though it is typically operated within a 0 to 20 PSI control range.

Does this unit come with the mounting hardware?
Yes, it is shipped with the standard right-angle mounting bracket, bronze bushings, and the necessary clevis and pins for a standard installation.
