Electric Spring Return Actuators Meet Fire Standards for Tunnels

In an emergency situation such a fire inside rail or road tunnels, or even underground passenger platforms, electric motor operated dampers in the ventilation system can act to clear smoke from the structure as well as to suppress spreading of the fire. Most electric actuators that operate these dampers are required to be failsafe . They are equipped with mechanical springs that open (or close)...
