Schneider Electric (Erie) AG24T020 Actuator

The Schneider Electric Erie AG24T020 is a high-performance two-position spring return actuator designed specifically for high-temperature applications in commercial HVAC systems. Operating at 277Vac, this normally open actuator provides reliable mechanical fail-safe operation, ensuring the valve returns to its original position during a power loss. Engineered for integration with Erie PopTop series valves, the AG24T020 features a synchronous motor drive that handles demanding high-ambient conditions without compromising cycle life. The unit comes equipped with 18" wire leads for streamlined field wiring and installation in tight mechanical plenums. This HVAC replacement motor is a critical component for maintaining precision control in fan coil units and baseboard heating systems. By utilizing a direct-drive actuator design, it minimizes mechanical wear while delivering consistent torque performance. Field technicians prioritize this model for its high-temp motor rating and the ease of the one-handed PopTop actuator removal mechanism, which significantly reduces downtime during maintenance sequences.

• High-Temperature Rating: Specifically built to withstand elevated ambient temperatures found in overhead heating and steam-adjacent applications.
• Fail-Safe Reliability: The mechanical spring return normally open configuration ensures system safety and prevents overheating during power interruptions.
• Standardized Compatibility: Designed for seamless Erie valve body integration using the industry-standard PopTop mounting system.
• Industrial Voltage Support: Dedicated 277V actuator motor meets specific electrical requirements for commercial lighting and HVAC circuits.
• Durable Construction: Features a rugged housing and high-duty cycle motor for extended service life in demanding environments.

Does this actuator require a specific mounting orientation?
The AG24T020 can be mounted in multiple positions, but it is recommended to install it above the horizontal plane of the valve body to prevent condensation from entering the motor housing.

Can the AG24T020 be used with normally closed valve bodies?
This is a normally open (NO) actuator. While it will physically mount to various PopTop bodies, the system logic must account for the NO fail-safe position to ensure proper fluid flow control when de-energized.

How do I verify the motor is functioning correctly in the field?
Technicians should check for 277Vac at the 18" leads; if power is present and the manual lever does not resist movement or show signs of gear engagement, the synchronous motor drive may require replacement.
