Spring Return
Direct Coupled Actuator
The ML6185 Spring Return Direct Coupled
Rotary Actuator is a floating control motor that can
be used with controls that provide switched or
floating single pole double throw (spdt) control
output to operate dampers in heating, ventilation,
and air conditioning (HVAC) applications.
