Johnson Controls D-3153-4 Damper Actuator

The Johnson Controls D-3153-4 Damper Actuator is a rugged, linear pneumatic actuator designed for professional-grade HVACR modulation and safety damper applications. Built with a durable die cast aluminum body and a high-performance 15 inch diaphragm made of synthetic elastomer, this unit provides the force necessary to drive dampers up to 16 square feet in proportional systems and 25 square feet in two-position setups. This model features an 8-13 psi spring range and includes the D-9502 pilot positioner, ensuring precise, sequential positioning regardless of the external load or friction. The 3-inch stroke and 0-20 psig control air pressure range allow for versatile field integration, supported by an auxiliary mounting bracket and a 1/8 inch NPT straight barbed fitting for standard pneumatic lines. Professionals rely on the D-3153-4 for its non-binding 2-way swivel head and telescoping linkage, which simplify installation in tight mechanical spaces while delivering consistent power for critical ventilation control.

Key Benefits

• Precision Modulation: Integrated D-9502 positioner ensures the piston reaches the exact position dictated by the controller signal, overcoming hinge friction.
• Industrial Durability: The die cast aluminum housing provides a lightweight but non-combustible frame suitable for high-demand environments.
• Flexible Installation: Features a telescoping linkage and auxiliary bracket for fast attachment to a variety of damper frames and allied equipment.
• Operational Range: Capable of handling ambient temperatures from -20 to 150°F, making it suitable for both intake and exhaust plenum environments.

Common Questions

What is the maximum air pressure for the D-3153-4?
While normal HVAC operation typically utilizes 0-20 psig, this actuator is rated for a maximum control pressure of 30 psig for safety damper override functions.

Can this actuator be used for fire and smoke dampers?
Yes, the D-3153 series is UL component recognized for use on classified smoke and combination fire/smoke dampers tested up to 250°F.

Does this model include mounting hardware?
Yes, the D-3153-4 comes standard with an auxiliary mounting bracket and the necessary pilot positioner for advanced pneumatic sequencing.
