Siemens Building Technology GCA163.1P Actuator
The Siemens GCA163.1P is a high-torque spring return rotary actuator designed for the precise control of large dampers in mission-critical HVAC systems. Operating on 24VAC supply voltage, this modulating actuator accepts a 0-10VDC control signal, providing a reliable 142 lb-in (16 Nm) of torque for dampers up to 60 sq. ft. Built with a rugged die-cast aluminum housing, the GCA163.1P features adjustable span and offset, allowing for custom calibration and dual-unit tandem operation. This model includes dual auxiliary switches for position feedback and end-stop signaling, ensuring seamless integration with Building Automation Systems (BAS). The mechanical fail-safe function provides reliable closure during power loss, making it a staple for outdoor air intake and smoke control sequences. With its pre-installed 3-foot cabling and plenum-rated construction, this Siemens OpenAir actuator minimizes field installation time while maintaining high precision and long-term durability in demanding commercial environments.
- 16 Nm (142 lb-in) Torque: Robust power output handles large dampers and high-pressure drops without stalling.
- Selectable Modulating Control: The 0-10VDC signal compatibility ensures precise air volume regulation for optimized AEO performance.
- Mechanical Spring Return: Provides a fail-safe position (Normally Open or Normally Closed) upon loss of power for system protection.
- Adjustable Auxiliary Switches: Integral fixed and adjustable switches allow for easy sequencing of peripheral equipment.
- NEMA 2 Protection: Durable housing stands up to mechanical stress and typical mechanical room environments.
Common Questions
How do I calibrate the 0-10VDC span and offset on the GCA163.1P?
The unit features two potentiometers located under the cover, allowing you to set the starting point (offset) and the operating range (span) to match specific controller outputs or non-standard signals.
Can two Siemens GCA163.1P actuators be used together on one damper shaft?
Yes, these actuators are designed for tandem mounting when dampening requirements exceed 142 lb-in, provided they are configured properly to share the load.
What is the typical runtime for the spring return cycle?
The Siemens GCA163.1P typically achieves a spring return fail-safe closure in less than 15 seconds, ensuring rapid response during emergency shutdowns.
