2000 Series Volume Control Damper

2000 Series VCD

The 2000 Series is a high-performance control damper featuring an extruded aluminium aerofoil blade housed within a steel frame. It has exceptional leakage and pressure drop attributes for enhanced performance, realised through the Santoprene Dual-Durometer blade tip seal and stainless steel side jambs.

The damper provides precise control, particularly in natural ventilation systems, through direct linkage. This damper can be controlled manually or by an actuator.

Features

  • Airfoil section extruded aluminium blades mounted within a rigid galvanised, flanged mild steel frame provides the basis for a low leakage, high performance volume control damper.
  • Santoprene blade tip seals and Stainless Steel side jamb seals ensure class-leading leakage performance.
  • Low friction bearings and substantial blade linkages afford quiet operation and low torque requirements.
  • 2000 Series dampers can be mounted in vertical or horizontal planes
  • Suitable for manual or motorised operation. Most standard motors can be factory-fitted if required

Tech Specs

Steel 1.6mm thick and produced to BS EN 10143:1993.
Rectangular flanged form, assembled with die formed corner channels for strength and rigidity.

Frame Side Seals
Frame comes complete with integral full-height vertical side jamb seals to both bearing sides of the frame, manufactured from 0.006 in. thick grade 301 spring stainless steel to BS 1449:1995 with dimensions and tolerances to BS EN 10021.

Blades
Manufactured from extruded hollow airfoil section Aluminium to BS 1474:1987, the alloy being 6063 (T6 temper).
Come complete with 12.7mm diameter zinc coated mild steel stub shafts, directly bolted to each end of the blade using two bolts which are fitted with aerodynamic securing nuts.

Blade Tip Seals
Integral Santoprene blade tip seals along entire length of the leading and trailing edges, mechanically retained within each blade.

Bearings
Each blade stub shaft is supported in selcon bearings which are mechanically retained within the vertical sides of the casing.

Drive Mechanism
Driven by side linkage manufactured from zinc electroplated mild steel.
