KA Linear actuator

KA series linear actuators are used to precisely adjust dampers in all air-conditioning, ventilation and heating systems as well as in furnace installations, process plant engineering and other fields of industry.

They are available with actuating forces of 400 N - 5000 N. The stroke units are designed for stroke lengths of 150 - 1100 mm.

The technical construction mirrors that of series N actuators. End position limit stop is path-dependent. The standard scope of supply includes a limit switch for each end position. These are designed as changeover switches and can also perform supplementary functions such as end position indication or sequential control tasks. Additional auxiliary position switches and potentiometers are also available. Fitting a relay makes it possible to control several actuators simultaneously via a common contact.

A solid cast bracket is available to mount the actuator. A connecting pin is included for connecting the actuator with the connecting rod. The spindle is protected by a protective tube.

Depending on the positioning time it is possible to supply actuators from this series that offer force-dependent switch-off functionality (optional). This switch-off functions prevents damage occurring to the valve in the event of a blockage.
