Description 

The Schneider Electric MP-2130-500 is a 120 VAC proportional electric rotary actuator engineered for precise positioning of dampers and valves in commercial HVAC systems. Designed originally under the Barber Colman brand, this actuator delivers consistent 90° rotary motion with dependable torque output for air handling and VAV applications. Its non-spring return design supports stable, proportional control where fail-safe action is not required.

Information About MP-2130-500

The MP-2130-500 is a non-spring return actuator from Schneider Electric’s legacy Barber Colman actuator line, built for long-term HVAC control performance. It features a rugged die-cast aluminum housing and oil-immersed motor and gear train to ensure smooth operation and extended service life. This actuator is compatible with proportional control systems commonly used in air handlers, VAV boxes, and damper assemblies. It integrates easily with Barber-Colman Microtherm controllers and equivalent proportional HVAC control platforms.

Key Features:

• 120 VAC Power Supply: Operates on standard 120 VAC, 60 Hz HVAC control power
• 50 lb-in Torque Output: Provides sufficient force for damper and globe valve actuation
• 90° Rotary Stroke: Supports quarter-turn damper and valve positioning
• Proportional Control Operation: Enables accurate modulation in HVAC air and fluid control
• Non-Spring Return Design: Maintains position without mechanical spring-based fail-safe
• Internal Auxiliary Switch: Includes one SPDT switch for feedback or interlock functions
• Oil-Immersed Gear Train: Enhances durability and reduces internal wear

The MP-2130-500 delivers the reliability and precision required for proportional damper and valve control in commercial HVAC systems.
