KMC Controls MEP-3006 Actuator
The KMC Controls MEP-3006 Actuator is a high-performance direct-coupled actuator engineered for reliable automation in commercial HVACR systems. Operating on a 24Vac/24Vdc power supply, this normally open (N/O) unit provides a consistent 22.5 in-lb torque, making it an ideal choice for VEP series valve applications, including VEP-11, VEP-21, and VEP-37 models. Designed for terminal unit control, it features a magnetic clutch that eliminates the need for mechanical end switches by allowing the motor to stall safely at the end of its 270-second stroke. Its compact, white glass-filled nylon housing is purpose-built for tight installations in VAV terminal units, fan coil units, and air handling systems. As a non-spring return actuator, it offers precise two-position or floating control, ensuring efficient airflow management and temperature regulation. For contractors performing field replacements, this electric valve actuator integrates seamlessly into existing low-voltage control circuits, providing a durable solution for pressure-independent applications and energy-efficient building automation upgrades.
Key Benefits- Magnetic Clutch Technology: Prevents motor damage by allowing the actuator to stall at either end of the stroke, removing the requirement for mechanical stops.
- Versatile Power Compatibility: Accepts both 24Vac and 24Vdc inputs, streamlining inventory and simplifying field wiring.
- Optimized for VEP Valves: Specifically designed for direct mounting to KMC VEP series valves for precise fluid control.
- Durable Construction: The glass-filled nylon enclosure provides robust protection in demanding mechanical room environments.
- Normally Open Configuration: Ensures the valve remains in the open position upon loss of control signal, supporting specific fail-safe system requirements.
- Which valves are compatible with the MEP-3006? This actuator is specifically designed for the KMC VEP series, including the 1/2", 3/4", and 1" VEP-11, VEP-12, VEP-21, and VEP-22 valve bodies.
- Does this unit require end switches? No, the integrated magnetic clutch allows the MEP-3006 to stall at the end of travel without the need for additional mechanical switches or stops.
- Can this be used for proportional control? While primarily used for two-position and floating applications, its floating control capability allows for incremental positioning when used with compatible room thermostats.
