20120305106 | ACTUATOR MOUNTING BRACKET FOR DAMPER - A compact damper and an actuator mounting bracket are provided for controlling fluid flow through a duct. The actuator mounting bracket includes two mounting legs and a mounting plate extending between the mounting legs. The mounting legs are configured to be fixed to corresponding mounting extensions that extend from and are integral to the damper. The actuator mounting bracket defines various slots and holes to provide adjustability in both the position of the actuator mounting bracket with respect to the damper and the type of actuator that can be accommodated by the mounting bracket. In this way, an actuator may be installed/replaced while maintaining the pressure integrity of the damper. In addition, the integral mounting extensions facilitate proper alignment of the actuator with the damper and provide additional support for larger actuators. Methods for attaching an actuator to a damper are also provided. | 12-06-2012 |
