Frequently Asked Questions

It is used to control HVAC dampers in applications where safety is critical, ensuring the damper moves to a predefined safe position if power is lost.

The actuator uses an internal spring return mechanism. When power is removed, the stored spring energy automatically drives the damper to its safe position.

It operates on a 24V supply, making it ideal for low-voltage HVAC and building automation systems.

Yes. The actuator can be set to move either open or closed on power loss, depending on the safety requirement of the installation.

It is commonly used in air handling units, VAV boxes, fire and smoke dampers, and compact ventilation systems in commercial and industrial buildings.

Yes. Its compact design makes it ideal for applications where space is limited, such as ceiling voids and small duct sections.

The spring return mechanism moves the damper to its safe position within seconds, providing rapid protection during emergencies.

Yes. It supports standard HVAC control methods, allowing easy integration into building management and control platforms.

Maintenance is minimal, typically limited to periodic functional testing and visual inspection. The spring mechanism is sealed for long service life.

Yes. The CQKB24-LL is designed for continuous duty and high cycle applications in HVAC environments.

Fail-safe actuators prevent uncontrolled airflow during faults, protect equipment, support fire and smoke strategies, and improve overall system safety.

Selection depends on damper size, torque requirement, control method, and safety needs. Matching these factors ensures reliable operation and compliance with system design requirements.
