Belimo Dampers Actuators
Belimo Damper actuators can be either Belimo Damper spring-return actuators or Belimo Damper non-spring return actuators. Water applications include pressure-independent control ball valves, control ball valves for chilled ceilings, control ball valves, globe valve modulating systems and butterfly valves. Bus systems are not as largely developed as water and air applications, but they include parameterizing devices, Bus accessories and tools and a few specialized communication systems.
Belimo Actuator
A Belimo actuator is a device used for the purpose of converting an electrical control signal to a physical motion. This physical action could mean activating a motor, a switch, a relay, a positioning drive, water or heating pumps, a flow control valve (and other types of valves) and much more. Think of the actuator as a weapon’s trigger (actually weapons use a trigger actuator for the purpose of firing); when the trigger is pressed, the Belimo actuator is put in motion and releases the physical power to fire the bullet. In this case, the Belimo actuator converts the motion of your finger pushing the trigger, into the sheer mechanical force needed to release the shot.
Belimo actuators were always standard braking, ever since the company’s first models in 1975. Today’s actuators can be either Belimo Damper spring-return or Belimo Damper non-spring return air solutions.
Belimo Damper Non-Spring Actuators
The non-spring actuators are themselves divided into (a) rotary actuators, and (b) full-rotation actuators.
There are 4 actuator models that use a rotary system:
The major difference between these four is torque power, each actuator having a different setting and another great difference between the four non-spring return rotary actuator series is the damper size each of them possesses.
- LM.A: The smallest LM.A series produces a torque rating of 5 Nm and LM.A is perfect for dampers of up to approximately 1m².
- NM.A: the NM.A series can go up to double that size and the dampers of up to 2m² for the NM.A series
- SM.A: the SM.A series can produce a torque power of 20 Nm, which is four times bigger than the LM.A. Dampers of up to approximately 4m² for the SM.A series
- GM series: The GM series can go up to a ground-braking 36 Nm torque power rating, so if you need power over size, this last actuator is what you need. Dampers of up to approximately 7.2m² for the GM series
A direct proportion can be set between damper space and torque rating of each actuator, as dividing the torque power rating by 5, we can find out what the approximate damper size will be.
Full-Rotation Actuator Belimo
The only full-rotation actuator coming from the Belimo USA Company is the LU.A model. It provides a low torque rating of 3 Nm and is better suited for dampers of up to approximately 0.5m² - 0.6m². The LU.A actuator has a configurable parameters system, which allows for a better control and proves to be slightly more multifunctional than the other non-spring return actuator models. Versions of this actuator include preset angle models or adjustable angle models, depending on what you plan to use it for. Of course, they offer a large array of accessories to the LU.A series, such as
- Spindle clamps ranging from 8 to 12 mm
- Wall mountable range controller
- An electronic angle adjuster to eliminate manually adjust
- A positioner used for built-in mounting
- A positioner for front-panel mounting
- Digital position indicators for front-panel mounting
- An angle rotation limiter
Depending on your needs, these accessories could prove vital and even if you don’t see them as vital now, they could still be a useful addition to the actual actuator.
Belimo Damper Spring Return Actuators
Belimo Damper spring return actuators only hold rotary actuators, divided into four models.
- TF: The smallest model, the TF has a torque rating of 2 Nm, a universal spindle clamp of 6 to 12 mm, its parameters can be set accordingly to your needs and is perfect for 0.4 m² dampers.
- LF: Next in line, the LF series have doubled the amount of torque power that the TF could withstand: 4 Nm. The universal spindle clamp’s size ranges from 8 to 16 mm and this model is also multifunctional (its parameters can be set). The LF is fit for 0.8 m² dampers.
- AF: This model has 15 Nm torque power, 10-20 mm universal spindle clamp size, safety functions and they are both fit for 3 m² dampers.
- AFR: AFR, share a lot of features of AF, except that the AFR’s parameters cannot be set up, making it less multifunctional. Besides this fact, the models could go as identical twins.
