An optional M9220-600 Jackshaft Coupler Kit is available for 3/4 to 1-1/16 in. or 19 to 27 mm round shafts, or 5/8 and 3/4 in. or 16, 18, and 19 mm square shafts.A single M9220-xxx-3 Electric Spring Return Actuator provides a running and spring return torque of 177 lb·in (20 N·m). Two or three models mounted in tandem deliver twice or triple the torque (354lb·in [40N·m] or 531lb·in [60N·m]). Integral line voltage auxiliary switches are available on the xxC models to indicate end-stop position or to perform switching functions within the selected rotation range.

OperationThe M9220-xxx-3 Actuators are available for use with on/off, floating, and proportional controllers.On/Off Control (M9220-Bxx-3 Actuators)When power is applied, the actuator drives open and the output hub rotates against the spring from -5 to 90°. The actuator is electronically overload protected should the actuator stall before reaching 90°. It holds position at the end of the stroke until power is removed. When power is removed, the actuator spring returns to the -5°position.An M9220-603 adjustable stop kit is available to limit the stroke of the actuator between 30 and 90° in 5° increments. M9220-BxC-3 actuators include two integral Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT) auxiliary switches. One switch is set to trip at 11° since the actuator is spring-return closed.Floating Control (M9220-Axx-3 Actuators)Note:The information in this section assumes that Side A of the actuator (Counterclockwise [CCW] spring return) is facing you and the Direct Acting/Reverse Acting (DA/RA) selector switch is set in the DA position.The actuator receives power by applying AC/DC24V between the black (common) and red (+AC/DC24V) wires. A controller applies power between the black and gray or black and orange wires to command the actuator to drive Clockwise (CW) or CCW at a constant speed, independent of load.Applying AC/DC24V between the black and gray wires causes the actuator to drive CW from -5 toward 90° at a constant speed, independent of load. The time required to drive full stroke from 0 to 90° is nominally 150 seconds. When AC/DC24V power between the black and gray wires is removed, the actuator stops and holds its position. The longer power is applied between the black and gray wires, the farther the actuator rotates toward the 90° position.Applying AC/DC24V power between the black and orange wires causes the actuator to drive CCW toward the -5° position. The longer AC/DC24V power is applied between the black and orange wires, the farther the actuator travels toward the -5° position. When power between the black and orange wires is removed, the actuator stops and holds its position.Changing the DA/RA switch from DA to RA reverses the direction the actuator drives when power is applied between the black and gray or black and orange wires. The actuator is overload protected, should it stall anywhere within its stroke. If the actuator stalls, it retries once after 2 minutes, assuming AC/DC24V is still applied.Easy-to-Use Locking Manual Override with Auto Release and Crank StorageAllows for manual positioning of the actuator hub.Integral Connectors for 3/8 in. (10 mm) Flexible Metal ConduitSimplify installation and field wiring.Override Control(Proportional Models Only)Supports control system override applications through field wiring.Microprocessor-Controlled Brushless DCMotor (-AGx, -GGx, and -HGx Types) Provides constant run-time independent of torque.Table 1: Features and Benefits (Part 2 of 2)FeaturesBenefitsIMPORTANT:Use this M9220-xxx-3 Electric Spring Return Actuator only to control equipment under normal operating conditions. Where failure or malfunction of the electric actuator could lead to personal injury or property damage to the controlled equipment or other property, additional precautions must be designed into the control system. Incorporate and maintain other devices such as supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit controls intended to warn of, or protect against, failure or malfunction of the electric actuator. IMPORTANT:Do not install or use this M9220-xxx-3 Electric Spring Return Actuator in or near environments where corrosive substances or vapors could be present. Exposure of the electric actuator to corrosive environments may damage the internal components of the device, and will void the warranty.M9220-xxx-3 Electric Spring Return Actuators Product Bulletin3If power is lost between the black (common) and red (+AC/DC24V) wires, the actuator spring returns to the -5° position. If power between the black and red wires is momentarily interrupted, the actuator drives to the -5° position and waits for the controller to command it in either the CW or CCW direction.Proportional Control (M9220-GGx-3 Actuators)Note:The information in this section assumes that Side A of the actuator (CCW spring return) is facing you and the control selector switch is set to the 0 …10V CW position.The actuator is powered with AC/DC24V power between the black (common) and red (+AC/DC24 V) wires. A proportional controller provides a DC0 to10V signal between the black (common) and gray (control signal input) wires.As the control signal increases from DC0to10V, the actuator drives CW from the -5 to 90° position. The position at which the actuator stops is proportional to the control signal. The actuator provides about 120steps of control. As the signal decreases, the actuator reverses direction and drives CCW toward the -5° position. A DC0to10V feedback signal is provided between the black (common) and orange (DC0to10V feedback signal output) to indicate the position of the actuator.The direction in which the actuator drives with an increasing control signal can be reversed by positioning the selector switch to the DC0...10VCCW position. When the actuator is placed in this position, and it is at the 90° position with a DC0V control signal, the actuator proportionally drives to the -5° position as the control signal increases.The actuator spring returns when power is interrupted between the black and red wires. When power returns, the actuator drives to the fully spring-return position to establish an end-of-stroke position, then drives to the position commanded by the DC0to10V controller.This model has a selector switch that provides operation for DC2to10V controllers. This switch allows a CW or CCW rotation as the control signal increases from DC2to10V. The feedback signal between the black and orange wires changes to DC2to10V when the input signal selector is set to the DC2...10V CW or CCW position.The M9220-GGx-3 actuators can be controlled by a DC0to20mA or DC4to20mA controller by placing a field furnished 1/4 watt 500 ohm resistor between the black (common) and orange (+DC0[4]to20mA control signal input) wires.Proportional Control/Adjustable (M9220-HGx-3 Actuators)The M9220-HGx-3 actuators operate in a similar manner to the M9220-GGx-2 actuators, except the M9220-HGx-3 actuators have an adjustable start voltage, which can be programmed between DC0to10V. The span adjustment can be programmed between a DC2to10V range, allowing the actuator to operate between DC0to20V. The M9220-HGx-3 actuator is programmed in the factory for DC0to10V.For this actuator, the feedback signal between the black and orange wires always provides a DC0to10V output, regardless of the start voltage or span selected.Repair InformationA number of replacement parts are available; see Table2 for more details.
