KMC
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about KMC from 3G Electric.
What spring ranges are available for KMC linear actuators?
KMC linear actuators are available with spring ranges such as 0 psi to 20 psi and 8 psi to 13 psi, depending on the model. For example, the MCP-1130-5520 has a 0 psi to 20 psi spring range, while the MCP-1140-5520 and MCP-1040-5211 have an 8 psi to 13 psi spring range. These ranges determine the actuator's response to control air pressure and are selected based on system requirements.
Do KMC pneumatic actuators include a positioner?
Yes, many KMC pneumatic linear actuators, such as the MCP-1140-5520, MCP-1130-5520, and MCP-1040-5211, include an integrated positioner. The positioner allows for precise modulation of the actuator stroke in response to a control signal, enabling accurate damper or valve positioning in HVAC systems.
What mounting options are available for KMC linear actuators?
KMC linear actuators offer mounting options including pedestal mounting, clevis mounting, and fixed mounting. For instance, the MCP-1140-5520 uses pedestal mounting, the MCP-1130-5520 uses clevis mounting, and the MCP-1040-5211 uses fixed mounting. The choice depends on the application and installation requirements.
Are KMC linear actuators suitable for fire/smoke applications?
No, KMC linear actuators such as the MCP-1140-5520, MCP-1130-5520, and MCP-1040-5211 are not rated for fire/smoke applications. They are designed for general HVAC control in non-life-safety systems. For fire/smoke damper applications, actuators with specific certifications and ratings should be used.
What stroke lengths are available for KMC linear actuators?
KMC linear actuators are available with stroke lengths of 3 inches and 4 inches. For example, the MCP-1130-5520 has a 3-inch stroke, while the MCP-1140-5520 and MCP-1040-5211 have a 4-inch stroke. The stroke length determines the linear travel of the actuator and should match the damper or valve requirements.
