Siemens Building Technology GIB161.1U Actuator
The Siemens GIB161.1U is a high-torque non-spring return actuator engineered for precise control in heavy-duty HVAC applications. Delivering 310 lb-in torque (35 Nm), this electronic damper actuator is designed for modulating control (DC 0 to 10 V) in building automation systems. Operating on a 24V AC/DC power supply, it supports dampers up to 60 sq. ft., making it a standard for larger air handling units and industrial dampers. The unit features a self-centering shaft adapter, reducing mechanical play and ensuring accurate positioning. Built for reliability in demanding environments, the Siemens OpenAir series construction facilitates simple installation with standardized mounting. This rotary actuator provides stable torque throughout its 90-degree stroke, effectively managing pressure drops and maintaining airflow setpoints. Contractors utilize the GIB161.1U for its robust feedback signals and high environmental rating, ensuring seamless integration with existing Siemens controllers and third-party automation networks.
Key Benefits
- 310 lb-in high torque performance for controlling large dampers and air valves.
- Modulating control signal (0-10V DC) allows for precise airflow adjustments and energy efficiency.
- Non-spring return design minimizes power consumption during stationary periods.
- Universal mounting with self-centering shaft adapters fits various shaft sizes and shapes.
- NEMA 2 rating housing protects internal gears and electronics from dust and moisture.
Common Questions
Can the GIB161.1U be used for fail-safe applications?
No, this is a non-spring return actuator. For fail-safe requirements, a spring-return model or an external power backup must be used.
What is the maximum damper size this actuator can handle?
The GIB161.1U is rated to drive dampers up to approximately 60 square feet, depending on the air velocity and damper blade construction.
Does this unit support manual override?
Yes, it features a manual override button to allow for position adjustments and system testing during commissioning without power.
