Schneider Electric (Erie) 30-118-T Spring Return Motor 50/60Hz class F 277V

The Schneider Electric (Erie) 30-118-T Spring Return Motor is a compact and dependable solution for damper actuation within HVAC systems. Unlike a typical motor that spins continuously, this design incorporates a built-in spring mechanism. When an electrical current (277 volts compatible) is applied, the motor efficiently converts it into rotational energy, driving a shaft in one direction until it reaches a set position. At this point, the internal spring automatically returns the shaft to its original starting position, even when power is cut. This spring return functionality makes the 30-118-T ideal for applications requiring precise positioning without the need for constant electrical power. Dampers are valves that regulate airflow throughout the ductwork in your HVAC system. By opening and closing these dampers, the Schneider Electric 30-118-T Spring Return Motor helps direct conditioned air to specific zones or rooms, optimizing comfort and system efficiency. In applications like fire dampers, the spring return feature ensures the damper automatically closes in the event of a power outage, potentially improving fire safety. Replacing a worn-out Schneider Electric (Erie) 30-118-T Spring Return Motor can restore lost control over airflow in your HVAC system. A properly functioning motor ensures dampers operate efficiently, promoting balanced airflow and potentially improving comfort throughout your space. Additionally, a new motor can potentially improve overall system efficiency and reduce noise levels. With a lightweight design of around 0.53 pounds, the 30-118-T is a manageable size for handling and installation within HVAC units.
