Honeywell MP918A1024 Pneumatic Damper Actuator – 10 PSI Span, With Mount Bracket & Crank Arm
THE HONEYWELL MP918A1024 Damper Actuator 10 PSI SPAN POSITIVE Positioner. INCLUDES EXTERNAL Mounting Bracket AND CRANKAR
Overview
The Honeywell MP918A1024 is a pneumatic damper actuator built for precision airflow control in HVAC systems. It includes a positive positioner, and comes with mounting bracket and crank arm so it’s ready for damper linkage. Designed for proportional control over a damper blade with strong durability, it works reliably in medium-to-large dampers under demanding conditions.

Features & Benefits
-
Includes a positive positioner for precise damper blade positioning
-
Rolling diaphragm design ensures long life and reliable operation
-
Low-friction shaft bearing enhances actuator responsiveness and reduces wear
-
Versatile mounting options and hardware make installation flexible
-
Accurate 10 psi span helps maintain linear control; optional springs allow adjusting span to 3 or 5 psi
Applications
-
Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems needing precise airflow control
-
Large or medium size dampers in commercial HVAC installations
-
Retrofit or new installations where dampers must be modulated rather than simply open-/closed
-
Environments requiring actuator reliability over wide temperature range
Installation & Maintenance Notes
-
Mount with correct bracket and crank arm for damper linkage; ensure proper alignment to avoid binding
-
Provide clean, dry compressed air; avoid moisture or contaminants that could damage the diaphragm
-
If changing span springs, follow manufacturer’s instructions and test for required range and responsiveness
-
Periodic inspection: check linkage, seals, and diaphragm for wear or leaks
Warranty & Assurance
-
Manufactured to Honeywell’s quality standards for pneumatic actuator products
-
Reliability assured under specified operating conditions; warranty valid when installed and used as designed
