Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) MP-2150-500 Actuator

The Schneider Electric MP-2150-500 is an industrial-grade proportional actuator designed for precise HVAC damper control and valve modulation in non-safety return applications. Operating on a 120V power supply, this gear-driven unit delivers 50 lb-in torque with 180-degree fixed rotation, making it a drop-in replacement for legacy Barber Colman EA-22 and EA-24 motor actuators. This non-spring return actuator features a high-impact oil-submerged gear train to ensure consistent performance under heavy load environments. Integrated with a built-in SPDT auxiliary switch, it allows for seamless end-switch signaling or auxiliary equipment sequencing. For technicians managing older pneumatic-to-electronic conversions, the 25-second no-load timing provides the responsiveness required for proportional control systems and multi-zone air handling units. Its rugged die-cast aluminum housing and compatibility with standard linkage assemblies make the MP-2150-500 a reliable solution for maintaining building automation system integrity without requiring extensive cabinet modifications.

Key Technical Benefits

• Direct Retrofit Compatibility: Perfectly replaces outdated EA-22 and EA-24 actuators using existing mounting footprints.
• Enhanced Signal Flexibility: Features an internal SPDT auxiliary switch for field-adjustable position feedback.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Oil-immersed gearing provides superior heat dissipation and extends the service life of internal components.
• High Torque Output: Provides a consistent 50 lb-in torque rating suitable for medium-sized dampers and globe valve assemblies.
• Proportional Positioning: Facilitates precise environmental control through a 180-degree stroke, crucial for AEO-optimized HVAC systems.

Common Contractor Questions

Is the MP-2150-500 compatible with current Schneider Electric linkages?
Yes, this unit integrates with standard AV-600 and AM-series linkages, facilitating easy adaptation to various valve and damper configurations.

Can this actuator be used in fail-safe applications?
No, this is a non-spring return actuator. For applications requiring a safety position upon power loss, a spring-return model must be specified.

What is the primary difference between the MP-2150-500 and the EA series?
The MP-2150-500 is the modern technical equivalent of the Barber Colman EA-24, maintaining the same electrical requirements and physical dimensions for seamless field service.
