Honeywell M9494D1000 Modutrol IV Proportional Motor – 300 lb-in, 24 Vac, Adjustable Stroke
Overview
The Honeywell M9494D1000 is a high-torque, proportional Modutrol IV motor / actuator designed for flame safeguard applications in industrial and commercial burner systems. It delivers 300 lb-in torque with a 24 Vac supply, and offers a field-adjustable stroke (90° or 160°) for precise control of burner valves or dampers. Built for durability and performance in harsh environments, it replaces earlier M941A/C/D motors and features robust electronic drive circuitry.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Proportional Control – Regulated by a three-wire, 135 ohm input signal for accurate modulating, non-spring return operation (NSR).
-
High Torque Output – 300 lb-in (≈34 Nm) torque with strong breakaway torque (600 lb-in) to handle heavy loads.
-
Adjustable Stroke – Field-adjustable from 90° to 160°, symmetrical stroke, factory set at 90°.
-
Solid Build & Reliability – Die-cast aluminum housing, durable double-ended 3⁄8″ square shaft, designed for vibration and flame safeguard duty.
-
Wide Operating Temp – -40°F to +150°F (-40°C to +66°C) for reliable use in industrial environments.
-
Power & Signal Specs – 24 Vac supply, 15 W nominal power consumption, 135-ohm proportional input.
-
Dimensions & Mounting – ~6.45 in high x 5.5 in wide x 7.3 in deep (≈164 × 140 × 185 mm), supports dead-weight load on shaft up to 200 lb either end; combined load 300 lb.

Applications & Compatibility
This motor/actuator is ideal for:
-
Industrial oil or gas burner systems requiring modulating flame rate control
-
Flow/valve actuators and dampers in flame safeguard or firing-rate control systems
-
Replacements for older Honeywell M941A, C, D models
-
Use in harsh or variable environment installations due to broad temperature rating
Compatible control schemes include proportional controllers or systems that accept 135-ohm input. Often paired with valves or dampers where precise, smooth modulation is required.
FAQs
Q: Is this a Non-Spring Return motor?
A: Yes — the M9494D1000 is NSR (non-spring return), meaning it does NOT return to a default position on loss of power.
Q: How fast is the motor at different stroke settings?
A: At factory stroke of 90°, timing is approximately 60 seconds. At 160°, it’s around 120 seconds. These timings can vary slightly depending on load.
Q: Can this motor drive both ends or modes?
A: Yes — double-ended shaft allows operation from either power‐end or auxiliary-end. Designed for normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) dampers/valves depending on installation.
Q: What earlier models does it replace?
A: It is a direct replacement for Honeywell M941A, M941C, and M941D motors.
