The ML6194/ML6294 Non-Spring Return DCA is designed
with removable hub inserts to accommodate specific shaft
sizes. Proper insert selection is necessary to avoid excessive
strain on output gear. All ML6194/ML6294 Actuators are
shipped with a one-inch hub insert. For field use, two hub
insert sizes are available (see Accessories section). A
mounting bracket (see Fig. 2 and 3) is provided with all
