Description
The Johnson Controls M9208-BAC-3 is a heavy-duty, spring return direct coupled actuator engineered for reliable two-position damper control in commercial HVAC applications. Operating on 120VAC power, this actuator delivers 70 lb-in of torque to drive dampers to the open or closed position with authority and precision. When power is removed, the integral spring return mechanism automatically drives the actuator to its fail-safe position — a critical safety feature for smoke control, ventilation, and energy management systems.
The M9208-BAC-3 ships with a 48-inch appliance cable terminated with an integral 3/8″ Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC) connector, simplifying field installation and ensuring a secure, code-compliant electrical connection. Two built-in SPDT (Single-Pole, Double-Throw) auxiliary switches provide end-of-travel feedback signals for integration with building automation systems, control panels, or status indicators.
Key Features
- 120VAC operating voltage for compatibility with standard commercial control circuits
- Two-position (open/close) control operation
- 70 lb-in output torque for positive damper actuation
- 55–71 second power-on run time for controlled, smooth damper travel
