Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) M220A01 Actuator

The Schneider Electric M220A01 Actuator, formerly part of the Barber Colman DuraDrive series, is a high-performance 24V ball valve actuator specifically engineered for HVACR applications requiring on/off 2nd position control. Designed for direct mounting to SpaceLogic VBB and VBS series ball valves, this unit features a normally closed spring return action to ensure positive shut-off during power loss. With a 50 second stroke timing for driven movement and a 35 second spring return timing, it provides efficient and reliable operation in fan coil units, unit ventilators, and VAV reheat systems. The integrated 10' plenum cable simplifies installation within ceiling spaces, meeting code requirements without additional conduit in many jurisdictions. As a 2nd position actuator, it is built to handle hot and chilled water systems with up to 60% glycol, offering the rugged reliability veteran contractors expect from the SmartX actuator product line.

• Fail-Safe Protection: The normally closed spring return mechanical operation ensures the system returns to a safe state during power failure.
• Direct-Coupled Efficiency: Seamlessly integrates with VBB/VBS valve bodies without specialized linkages, reducing labor time for field retrofits.
• Plenum Rated Connection: Includes a 10' plenum rated cable and 3/8" flex conduit fitting for streamlined wiring in restricted air spaces.
• Industrial Durability: NEMA 2 (IP31) rated housing protects Schneider Electric valve actuators from condensation and light environmental debris.
• Optimized Performance: Synchronous motor technology prevents stalling and maintains consistent on/off control across the entire fluid temperature range.

Is the M220A01 compatible with older Barber Colman valves?
This actuator is designed as a direct successor to the DuraDrive series. While it fits all current 1/2" and 3/4" SmartX VBB/VBS ball valves, always verify the mounting bracket profile when replacing legacy Barber Colman assemblies.

Does this unit support floating or proportional signals?
No, the M220A01 is a dedicated two-position actuator. For modulating or 0-10Vdc applications, you should specify the proportional M3 series equivalents within the Schneider catalog.

Can the spring return direction be reversed in the field?
The spring return action is fixed as Normally Closed (NC) for this specific model. If a Normally Open configuration is required, the M210A01 variant should be used instead.
