Barber Colman M574-6208 Actuator

The Barber Colman M574-6208 is a pneumatic actuator engineered for proportional control in HVAC and industrial automation systems. Designed with a spring return mechanism for fail-safe operation, this actuator delivers precise modulating control over a 4-inch stroke. It operates within a standard 10 to 15 psi control pressure range, making it suitable for dampers, valves, and other applications requiring linear actuation with accurate response.
