The Belimo LMCB24-SR is a compact non-spring-return damper actuator delivering 45 in-lb [5 Nm] of torque with modulating 2-10 VDC control on AC/DC 24 V power. It direct-couples to round or square damper shafts from 1/4 in. to 5/8 in. (up to 3/4 in. with an accessory clamp) and holds its last position on loss of power (it is non-fail-safe, with no spring return), making it a proven member of the LMB platform for small to mid-size commercial HVAC dampers. It runs 90° of travel in a fast 35 seconds.

Overview
Belimo LM-Series actuators are compact non-spring-return drives for small and mid-size commercial HVAC dampers — they position the damper under power and hold the last commanded position when power is removed (there is no spring-return fail-safe). The LMCB24-SR produces 45 in-lb [5 Nm] and mounts directly to round or square damper shafts from 1/4 in. to 5/8 in. (up to 3/4 in. with an accessory clamp). It completes 90° of travel in a fast 35 seconds. A 2-10 VDC (or 4-20 mA with the ZG-R01 resistor) signal modulates the damper, with 2-10 VDC position feedback.
Best for
- Modulating damper control without fail-safe return
- Small to mid-size damper and louver positioning (45 in-lb)
- Direct shaft mount, 1/4-5/8 in. (to 3/4 in. with accessory clamp)
- Faster actuation (35-second run time)
Key Features
Non-Spring-Return Design
Holds the last commanded position when power is removed (non-fail-safe). Lower cost and power draw than a spring-return actuator where fail-safe operation is not required.
45 in-lb Torque
Sized for small and mid-size dampers; direct-couples to round or square damper shafts from 1/4 in. to 5/8 in. (up to 3/4 in. with an accessory clamp).
Modulating 2-10 VDC
Accepts a 2-10 VDC (or 4-20 mA with ZG-R01) signal with 2-10 VDC position feedback.
Fast 35-Second Run Time
Drives 90° of travel in about 35 seconds — faster actuation without a spring return.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Belimo LMCB24-SR?
The Belimo LMCB24-SR is a compact non-spring-return (non-fail-safe) damper actuator for commercial HVAC. It produces 45 in-lb [5 Nm] of torque, uses modulating 2-10 VDC control on AC/DC 24 V power, and holds its last position on loss of power. Its housing is rated NEMA 2.
Is the LMCB24-SR a spring-return (fail-safe) actuator?
No. The LMCB24-SR is non-spring-return: when power is lost it holds its last commanded position rather than driving to a fail-safe position. If you need fail-safe operation, choose a spring-return Belimo LF-Series actuator instead.
What happens to the LMCB24-SR when power is lost?
It stays put. A non-spring-return actuator maintains its last position when power is removed and resumes from there when power returns.
What shaft sizes does the LMCB24-SR fit?
It direct-couples to round or square damper shafts from 1/4 in. to 5/8 in. (up to 3/4 in. with an accessory clamp) using its universal clamp.
What control signal does the LMCB24-SR use?
It uses modulating 2-10 VDC control. The 2-10 VDC input also accepts 4-20 mA with the ZG-R01 resistor and provides 2-10 VDC feedback.
What is the running time of the LMCB24-SR?
Motor running time is about 35 s / 90° Running time motor note constant, independent of load Noise level, motor 45 dB for 90 degrees of travel. That faster run time suits applications needing quicker damper response.
Is the Belimo LMCB24-SR available from an authorized Belimo distributor?
Yes. ZOT Supply is an authorized Belimo distributor and carries the LMCB24-SR. Every unit ships factory new with Belimo's full 5-year warranty and application support.
