Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) AV-395 Linkage

The Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) AV-395 Linkage kit is a precision-engineered solution for integrating gear train actuators with high-capacity globe valves. This Complete Linkage Kit is specifically designed for 2 1/2" to 4" VB-9XXX series valve bodies, providing the robust mechanical interface required for heavy-duty HVAC applications. With a 150 lb stem force rating, the AV-395 ensures reliable close-off performance and smooth modulation in chilled water, hot water, and steam systems.

For veteran contractors, the AV-395 linkage for gear train actuators is the standard for field-mounting Schneider Electric (formerly Barber Colman) actuators. This kit simplifies the assembly process, allowing for precise alignment between the motor and the valve stem. Constructed with a die-cast aluminum mounting bracket, it offers superior structural rigidity to maintain calibration under high-torque conditions. The design includes integrated valve position indication, enabling fast visual diagnostics during routine system inspections and commissioning.

• Optimized Compatibility: Engineered for seamless use with Schneider Electric VB-9xxx Series valves ranging from 2-1/2" to 4" sizes.
• Robust Stem Force: Rated for 150 lb stem force, making it ideal for high-pressure close-off requirements.
• Durable Construction: Features a high-strength die-cast aluminum mounting bracket to resist mechanical fatigue in demanding environments.
• Visual Monitoring: Built-in valve position indication allows for easy status checks without additional tools.
• Flexible Mounting: Suitable for multi-position installation, providing accessibility in tight mechanical room configurations.

Common Questions Regarding the AV-395 Linkage

Which valve series are compatible with the AV-395 kit?
The AV-395 is designed for current 2-1/2" through 4" VB-9XXX series valve bodies. It is specifically used to field-assemble these larger valves to gear train actuators.

What is the maximum stem force this linkage can handle?
This Schneider Electric valve linkage is rated for a maximum of 150 lb stem force, ensuring it can handle the load required for large flanged globe valves.

Can this linkage be used for steam applications?
Yes, the AV-395 is compatible with steam systems. For high-temperature steam applications, it is standard practice to mount the actuator at a 45-degree angle from vertical to protect the electronics from rising heat.
