BARBER COLEMAN ACTUATOR

Buy Barber Coleman Actuator

Barber-Colman, still to this day, delivers unsurpassed performance in high-quality, reliable for industrial applications. For over thirty-five years, Barber-Coleman Control Company has been a premier supplier of superior for all sorts of HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) applications. They are a popular source for HVAC products for dealers and distributors worldwide.

Barber Coleman offers a wide variety like:

  • Pneumatic Actuators

A pneumatic converts energy (in the form of compressed air, typically) into motion. This type of mainly consists of a piston, a cylinder, and valves or ports. Barber Coleman offers a full line pneumatic ranging from 3 in2 to 100 in2 for a wide range of damper and VB-7000 valve applications.

  • Hydraulic actuators

Pneumatic are normally used to processes requiring quick and accurate response, as they do not require a large amount of motive force. However, when a large amount of force is required to operate a valve (for example, the main steam system valves), hydraulic are normally used. Barber Coleman offers accepting 2-position, floating, and proportional input signals for both damper and VB-7000 valve applications.

  • Electric Gear Train

Barber Coleman offers electric ranging from 16 lb.-in. to 1300 lb.-in torque, accepting 2-position, floating, and proportional input signals, used for damper and valve applications.

Linear Stroke Electric

Linear stroke electric such as the CE approved MF-63000 series mount directly on the valve body. No linkage is required for valves of 2 inch or smaller size. These are floating units that stay in position when power is removed. The MF-63123 can be converted to full proportional with the addition of a plug-in analog input board.

Rotary Stroke Box Style

Rotary stroke such as the cUL approved EA series box style units are the most common form used for valves. The rotary action is converted to a linear stroke by the linkage kit. Only with a 180° stroke can be used. These must be coupled to a stem-up open valve body. Attempting to use these with stem-up closed valve bodies will result in physical damage.

EA series actuators, the latest series, are renowned for their sturdiness and quality. Designed to thrive in harsh environments, Barber-Colman Co.’s aluminum come in eight different series, all available from HVAC Plus. These series of offer unparalleled benefits including:

  • Potentiometer input
  • Functionality with a wide variety of valves
  • Microprocessor-based system
  • Adjustable deadband (number of degrees difference between the temperature at which the comes on and that at which the heat comes on)

The standard EA series of contains both gear driven crankshaft and hydraulic powered axial shaft . They may be used with combustion air dampers and a wide variety of low, medium and high torque rotary shaft valve bodies with crankarms. The EA series can accommodate applications requiring position to be held or returned to normal position during power interruptions. Used for two position floating and proportional electric , these are employed wherever it is desirable to move a load in either direction or to stop it at any point in the stroke. The typical functions of the EA series include:

  • Heat treat furnaces
  • Heat recovery systems
  • Water and oil cooling systems
  • Ovens

Standard EA series includes:

  • EA12
  • EA20
  • EA31
  • EA40
  • EA50 & EA60
  • EA70
  • EA81

As mentioned before, are powered devices that are used to operate a damper and adjust the flow of air and smoke. There are two basic types: electric and pneumatic. Electric differ in terms of output. Choices include 0 to 12 VDC, 2 to 10 VDC, and 4-20 mA. Products with features such as low-power consumption, direct action, reverse action, and thermal protection are commonly available. Pneumatic have a start point that is measured in pounds per square inch (psi). The span is a direct function of a feedback spring. In some products, the spring is designed to provide equal force on both the power and return strokes. General and specialized fire and smoke are also available. A few parts within this product line are:
