- Proportional (modulating) control for accurate, continuous airflow regulation
- Spring-return (SR) fail-safe mechanism — returns damper to a safe position on power loss
- Integrated auxiliary switch (W/SW) for end-position feedback and system interlock capability
- Direct-mount (DirMt) design for fast, straightforward installation without additional linkage hardware
- Part of the trusted MS40 series from Schneider Electric (formerly Barber Colman)
Applications
- Commercial HVAC air handling units (AHUs)
- Variable air volume (VAV) systems
- Economizer and outdoor air damper control
- Building automation and energy management systems
- Exhaust, return, and mixed-air damper applications
Why Choose the MS40-7043-501?
The spring-return function ensures your system defaults to a predetermined safe position during a power interruption, protecting building occupants and equipment. The built-in auxiliary switch provides valuable end-position feedback for sequencing, alarming, or interlocking with other building automation system components. The direct-mount configuration reduces installation time and eliminates the need for external linkage kits, making this actuator a cost-effective solution for new construction and retrofit projects alike.
