Damper actuators play a crucial role in the effective functioning of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. These devices are responsible for controlling the flow of air in ductwork by adjusting the position of dampers, which are movable plates that regulate airflow. This article explores the types, functions, and importance of damper actuators in maintaining indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

    What is a Damper Actuator?

    A damper actuator is an electromechanical device that adjusts the position of a damper in response to a control signal. The actuator translates this signal into physical movement, either opening or closing the damper to modulate air flow. The movement can be rotary or linear, depending on the design of the damper and the actuator itself.
