Abstract
An example an adjustable bracket and an damper system usable with the adjustable bracket assembly for transmitting an actuation force from an actuator to a plurality of damper assemblies. The adjustable bracket assembly may include a shaft extending along and configured to rotate about a first axis in response to an output from the actuator, a first output lever configured to transmit a rotational force of the shaft to a first damper assembly, and a second output lever configured to transmit the rotational force of the shaft to a second damper assembly.
Claims20
An adjustable bracket assembly for transmitting an actuation force from an actuator to a plurality of damper assemblies, comprising:
- an input shaft extending along and configured to rotate about a first axis in response to an output from the actuator;
- a first output lever configured to transmit a rotational force of the input shaft to a first damper assembly;
- and
- a second output lever configured to transmit the rotational force of the input shaft to a second damper assembly.
A damper system for selectively controlling airflow in a first duct and a second duct, comprising:
- a first damper assembly with a first damper, wherein the first damper assembly is configured to be mounted at a first position in-line with the first duct;
- a second damper assembly with a second damper, wherein the second damper assembly is configured to be mounted at a second position in-line with the second duct, wherein the second position is spaced apart from the first position;
- and
- an actuator for controlling a position of the first damper and the second damper via an adjustable bracket assembly, the adjustable bracket assembly comprising:
- a shaft extending along and configured to rotate about a first axis in response to an output from the actuator;
- a first output lever configured to transmit a rotational force of the shaft to the first damper assembly;
- and
- a second output lever configured to transmit the rotational force of the shaft to the second damper assembly.
