Airfoil Control Damper
Series 1000: Low Leakage
- All-aluminum construction provides a prolonged and rust-free operational life.
- Tamco’s dual bearing linkage system is self-sealing, self-lubricating, and non-absorbent, resulting in a maintenance-free performance.
- Side seals are comprised of extremely flexible silicon and blade seals are EPDM that are resistant to weathering, compression set, and heat.
- Tamco seals provide outstanding dynamic fatigue resistance, ensuring consistent minimal leakage rate performance and sealing longevity.
Caution: Never use any lubricants, such as grease or silicone, on Tamco dampers.

Series 1000 Low Leakage, Airfoil Control Damper:
Modulating or two-position control dampers are required:
- Where maintenance-free operation is ideal
- Where linkage failure is an issue
- Where worn out common dampers require replacement
- Standard blade depth is 6” (152 mm).
Recommendation: In applications where the humidity level is unusually elevated, or where there are extremely high levels of dust and dirt particles, Tamco recommends that the damper linkage and bearing system should be cleaned once a year. This can be done by blowing away dust using compressed air. If needed, a domestic-strength steam cleaner can be used to loosen dirt, which can then be blown out with compressed air, along with any remaining water droplets.

Options are available for the airfoil control damper (Series 1000) which can be upgraded to the following options to suit a wider range of applications:
ET – Elevated Temperature Option:
- Blade and frame seals are upgraded to extruded silicone.
- For operation in temperatures as high as 300°F (149°C)
- Bronze-oilite bearings replace Celcon and polycarbonate bearings.
MR – Moisture Resistance Option:
- Stainless steel hardware replaces zinc-plated components.
SW – Salt Water Resistance Option:
- Extruded aluminum frames, blades and hardware are clear anodized to a depth of 0.7 mil. (18 microns).
- Blade and frame seals are extruded silicone.
- All zinc-plated, steel hardware is replaced with stainless steel, protecting hardware from rust and corrosion.
