Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) MA-5213 Actuator

The Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) MA-5213 is a heavy-duty two-position hydraulic actuator engineered for precise control of globe valves and dampers in commercial HVACR systems. Operating on a 24V power supply with an 18VA/14W input, this unit utilizes an oil-immersed motor and pump to deliver consistent force for fail-safe operations. Designed as a two-wire SPST controlled device, the MA-5213 features a 15-second spring return mechanism that ensures the system defaults to its normal position immediately upon power loss. This model is housed in a rugged NEMA 1 enclosure with a die-cast lower housing and a 1/2-inch conduit opening, making it ideal for indoor installations. The MA-5213 hydraulic actuator is technically identical to and replaces the MA-5213-0-0-2, MA-5213-0-0-3, and MA-5213-0-0-4 versions, ensuring hardware compatibility across various legacy Barber Colman SmartX series valve bodies including the VB-7000 and VB-8000. Its 20 in-lb torque rating provides the necessary mechanical movement for efficient fluid handling or air damper control.

• Fail-Safe Protection: The reliable 15-second spring return ensures automatic closure or opening during power interruptions.
• Universal Compatibility: Fully interchangeable with MA-5213-0-0-2, MA-5213-0-0-3, and MA-5213-0-0-4 models.
• Industrial Durability: Features an oil-immersed motor and pump housed in a robust NEMA 1 die-cast assembly for long-term field reliability.
• Simplified Wiring: 24V two-wire SPST configuration allows for straightforward integration into existing building automation systems.

• Does this actuator require a specific linkage? Yes, the MA-5213 is a base model that requires appropriate linkage for mounting to VB-7000 series globe valves or air dampers.
• Can this model replace the MA-5213-0-0-2? Yes, the MA-5213 is the direct and identical replacement for all variants ending in -0-0-2, -0-0-3, and -0-0-4.
• Is this unit suitable for outdoor use? No, the NEMA 1 rating is intended for indoor applications; for outdoor use, a weather shield or NEMA 4 rated enclosure would be required.
