Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications for Siemens OpenAirTM air damper actuators, specifically the GCA..1 series. These actuators are designed for rotary motion with spring return and are suitable for two-position, three-position, and modulating control. They operate on AC 24 V / DC 24…48 V / AC 230 V and have a nominal torque of 18 Nm.
Specifications: The actuators feature a self-centering shaft adapter, mechanically adjustable span between 0...90°, and are pre-wired with 0.9 m long connection cables. They include type-specific variations with adjustable offset and span for the positioning signal, position indicator, feedback potentiometer, and adjustable auxiliary switches.
Applications: These actuators are suitable for damper areas up to 3 m² and are used in ventilation sections where the actuator must move to the zero position during power failure. They can also be used for dampers with two actuators on the same shaft.
Technical Data: The actuators have a nominal torque of 18 Nm and a maximum torque of 50 Nm. They operate with a rotary angle of 90° and have a runtime of 90 seconds for motor operation. The closing time with the return spring is 15 seconds. The actuators are protected to IP 54 standards and comply with various international norms and directives.
Control Types: The document details different control types available for the actuators, including two-position, three-position, and modulating control. It also describes the positioning signals and characteristic functions for different models.
Installation and Accessories: The actuators can be tandem-mounted for increased torque. Accessories such as linear/rotary sets, auxiliary switches, and weather protection covers are available to extend functionality.
Environmental and Safety Compliance: The actuators comply with EU Conformity (CE) and RCM Conformity standards. They are designed for use in residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
Disposal: The document advises on proper disposal in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU, emphasizing that the device should not be disposed of as domestic garbage.
