Belimo rotary damper actuator 24V - open/close & 3-point - 20 Nm - SM24A

The Belimo SM24A is a rotary damper actuator designed for open/close or 3-point control of large air damper sections up to approximately 4 m². The actuator is powered by AC/DC 24 V and is suitable for simple two-point (on/off) as well as three-point control, allowing the damper to be held in an intermediate position. The actuator provides a torque of 20 Nm, making it ideal for large, heavy damper constructions in central air handling units. The motor achieves a 90° rotation in 150 seconds. Standby power consumption is only 0.2 W and the noise level is 45 dB(A).

Benefits and Features

20 Nm open/close and 3-point control: The 20 Nm torque makes the actuator suitable for large air damper sections up to approx. 4 m². Thanks to the 3-point control, the damper can also be held in an intermediate position without requiring an analogue control signal or proportional actuator.
Adjustable direction of rotation: The direction of rotation is easily selectable via a switch (left or right), allowing flexible installation and broad applicability.
Manual adjustment with lockable push button: Enables manual operation and locking during installation and maintenance.
Adjustable angle of rotation: The angle of rotation can be mechanically limited on both sides up to a maximum of 95°, allowing precise alignment of the actuator to the damper’s opening range.
Overload protection: Automatically stops at the end position, eliminating the need for separate end switches.
IP54 protection class: Protected against dust and splashing water from all directions, ensuring durability against daily environmental influences and a long service life.

Installation, Maintenance and Applications

The actuator is mounted directly onto the damper shaft using the supplied universal clamp ring, suitable for shaft diameters from 10 to 20 mm. The shaft must be at least 48 mm long and extend a minimum of 20 mm. The actuator includes a rotation lock to prevent unwanted movement. The angle of rotation can be set via mechanical stops on both sides, with a maximum of 95°. The direction of movement is easily adjustable with a switch (position 0 = counterclockwise, position 1 = clockwise). For manual adjustment, a lockable push button is provided. Electrical connection is via a fixed 1-metre cable with 3 cores (0.75 mm²).
The actuator is maintenance-free and is suitable for open/close or 3-point control of large damper sections in central air handling units, on/off controlled supply and exhaust dampers, mixing dampers, and fire dampers in commercial buildings and industrial HVAC systems.
