Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) AM-732 Linkage Kit
The Schneider Electric AM-732 Linkage Kit is a heavy-duty linear linkage assembly engineered to interface Mx61-720x series actuators with VB-9xxx series valves. Built for high-torque HVAC applications, this kit facilitates precise actuator to valve conversion for valve sizes ranging from 2-1/4" to 4". The linear linkage kit includes a robust mounting bracket, stem extension, and the necessary jam nuts and connecting pins required for a secure, slip-free mechanical bond. By utilizing OEM valve accessories like the AM-732, technicians ensure optimal stem travel and seat pressure, which is critical for maintaining accurate flow control in steam or chilled water systems. This hardware is designed to withstand the thermal stresses common in commercial mechanical rooms while preventing premature wear on the actuator's gear train. Proper installation requires a 3/4" open-end wrench and a size 10 IP Torx Plus bit for securing the assembly to Schneider Electric valve bodies.
Key Benefits- Precision Mechanical Interface: Eliminates backlash and ensures 100% stroke accuracy between the SmartX actuator and the valve stem.
- High Compatibility: Specifically designed for VB-9213, VB-9313, and other large-bore 2-way and 3-way VB-9000 valve bodies.
- Industrial-Grade Durability: Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials to prevent binding in high-humidity mechanical environments.
- Simplified Field Mounting: Includes all structural components needed for a direct-coupled installation without custom fabrication.
Which actuators are compatible with the AM-732?
This kit is designed specifically for the Mx61-720x series (including MF61 and MS61 models) of non-spring return and spring return DuraDrive actuators.
What valve sizes does the AM-732 support?
The AM-732 is the correct valve linkage for VB-9xxx series globe valves with pipe sizes between 2-1/4 inches and 4 inches.
Is this kit required for VB-7xxx series valves?
No. For valve bodies between 1-1/4" and 2", please refer to the AM-731 linkage kit, as the AM-732 is sized for the larger bolt patterns and stem diameters of the 4-inch VB-9xxx series.
