Barber Colman MP-5211 Actuator

The Barber Colman MP-5211 is a 240V electric actuator designed for proportional control of dampers, valves, and program switches in HVAC and industrial applications. It features a hydraulic drive mechanism and a spring return function, ensuring the actuator returns to its fail-safe position upon power loss. This actuator is compatible with 2 to 15 VDC control signals, making it suitable for systems requiring precise modulating control.
