Description
The Model UM Servo Actuator provides directly connected
and precise modulating control of fuel valves and
combustion air and flue gas control dampers. The actuator
opens, modulates, and closes the valves and/ or dampers
in accordance with the integrated combustion control and
burner management system programs. An integral interlock
switch provides proof of open or closed position for safe Model UM Servo Actuator with Floor Stand
burner operation. In addition, the feedback potentiometer
provides indication of the motor’s shaft position. The UM
Specifications:
Actuator is used on boiler control applications that have
a maximum of 720 ft-lbs torque required. For heavier

Operation
UM-250 90VA
The Model UM Actuator uses an instantly reversible motor
UM-430 95VA
to rotate a stainless steel output shaft through a reduction
UM-720 100VA
of precision worm gears. The output shaft actuates four
adjustable cam operated switches: two (2) travel limit
Ambient Temperature: -13° F to 131° F
switches to stop motor operation at pre-selected positions
(-25° C to + 55° C)
and two (2) auxiliary switches to provide valve and damper
Input: Switching SPDT or floating
position proving interlocks. The actuator incorporates ‘Built-
