Siemens Building Technology GLB161.1Q Actuator
The Siemens GLB161.1E (often identified as GLB161.1Q) is a heavy-duty non-spring return damper actuator designed for precise modulating control in commercial HVAC systems. Operating on a 24V AC/DC power supply, this electronic motor actuator delivers 88 lb-in (10 Nm) of torque, making it ideal for managing dampers up to 13 sq. ft. It accepts a standard 0-10VDC control signal for proportional positioning, ensuring stable airflow regulation. The unit features built-in 6-foot plenum-rated cables, simplifying installation within air handling units and ceiling spaces while meeting strict fire codes. Designed for long-term reliability in VAV box control and air handling applications, the housing is rugged and rated for NEMA 2 environments. Contractors value this Siemens OpenAir series component for its brushless DC motor technology, which provides consistent timing and torque regardless of load, ensuring accurate HVAC damper automation across various static pressure conditions.
- 88 lb-in Torque: Provides sufficient force for reliable operation of medium-sized dampers without stalling.
- Modulating 0-10VDC Signal: Allows for precision positioning and seamless integration with high-end building automation systems.
- Plenum Rated: Includes a factory-installed 6-foot cable, reducing field wiring time and ensuring code compliance.
- Low Power Consumption: Efficient motor design reduces the transformer VA requirement on the 24V circuit.
- Manual Override: Features a manual gear release for easy commissioning and emergency positioning.
Common Technical Questions
How do I calibrate the span for a 2-10VDC signal?
The GLB161.1Q is factory-set for 0-10VDC. For systems requiring a 2-10VDC offset, the controller signal should be scaled at the DSI or BAS level, as the actuator linearly responds to the voltage input provided.
Can this actuator be used in failsafe applications?
No, this is a non-spring return (NSR) model. It will maintain its last position upon loss of power. For applications requiring a return to zero, a spring-return Siemens OpenAir model should be specified.
What is the maximum shaft size compatibility?
This actuator features a self-centering shaft adapter that accommodates round shafts from 3/8-inch to 5/8-inch or square shafts from 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch.
