Siemens Building Technology GNP196.1P Actuator
For high-demand mechanical systems requiring rapid response times, the Siemens GNP196.1P Damper Actuator stands as the industry standard for fast-acting control. Engineered specifically for laboratory fume hoods, cleanroom pressurization, and fast-acting air terminal units, this OpenAir rotary actuator delivers a full 90-degree stroke in a 2-second runtime. Operating on 24V AC/DC, it provides 53 lb-in torque and features fail-safe functionality to ensure dampers return to a predetermined safety position during a power loss. The integrated auxiliary switches allow for precise positioning feedback and sequencing, while the multi-input capability supports modulating (0-10Vdc, 4-20mA), floating, and two-position control signals. Built with a NEMA 1 (IP54) die-cast aluminum enclosure, the GNP196.1P is plenum-rated and designed for long-term reliability in critical HVACR environments. Its brushless DC motor technology prevents stalling under load, making it a dependable choice for contractors managing variable air volume (VAV) or constant volume installations.
- Ultra-Fast Response: Achieve 90-degree rotation in just 2 seconds for sensitive laboratory and medical exhaust systems.
- Universal Compatibility: Multi-input design accepts modulating, floating, and on/off signals to fit any building automation interface.
- Safety Assurance: Built-in fail-safe return ensures critical dampers close or open instantly upon losing power.
- Enhanced Feedback: Dual auxiliary switches and 0-10V position feedback provide complete system status to the controller.
- Robust Construction: Die-cast aluminum housing and self-centering shaft coupling reduce mechanical wear and installation time.
Common Questions
Can the fail-safe direction be changed in the field?
Yes, the actuator allows for clockwise or counter-clockwise fail-safe operation by reversing the mounting orientation on the damper shaft.
What damper size is this actuator rated for?
With 53 lb-in of torque, it is typically suitable for dampers up to 13 square feet, though high-pressure systems may require verified calculations.
Is this model suitable for low-noise environments?
While designed for speed, the high-velocity gearing is optimized for critical environments; however, acoustic resonance should be checked if mounting in occupied, sound-sensitive office areas.
