The Belimo LMQX24-MFT is a compact non-spring-return damper actuator delivering 35 in-lb [4 Nm] of torque with field-programmable MFT control that ships set for 2-10 VDC by default on AC/DC 24 V power. It couples to shafts from 1/2 in. to 1.05 in. via its standard universal clamp and is non-fail-safe, with no spring return, making it part of Belimo's configurable LMX platform for small to mid-size commercial HVAC dampers. A Q quick-running motor drives 90° in just 2.5 seconds.
Specifications sourced from the official Belimo LMQX24-MFT technical data sheet (rev 2025-10-06).
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 have no spring-return fail-safe function. The LMQX24-MFT produces 35 in-lb [4 Nm] and mounts directly to 1/2 in. to 1.05 in. via standard universal clamp. Its quick-running motor completes 90° in about 2.5 seconds. It ships set for 2-10 VDC modulating control — the same behavior as the SR model — while Multi-Function Technology lets you field-select other signals, ranges and feedback under one part number.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Belimo LMQX24-MFT?
The Belimo LMQX24-MFT is a compact non-spring-return (non-fail-safe) damper actuator for commercial HVAC. It produces 35 in-lb [4 Nm] of torque, uses field-programmable MFT control (set for 2-10 VDC by default) on AC/DC 24 V power. It is non-fail-safe: Belimo does not publish a defined position on loss of power for this model. Its housing is rated NEMA 2.
Is the LMQX24-MFT a spring-return (fail-safe) actuator?
No. The LMQX24-MFT is non-spring-return: it has no fail-safe spring, so it will not drive to a predetermined position when power is lost. Where a defined position on power loss is required, select a spring-return actuator sized to the damper manufacturer's specifications.
What happens to the LMQX24-MFT when power is lost?
There is no spring return, so the actuator does not drive itself to a fail-safe position. Belimo's datasheet for this model does not publish a defined power-loss position; if your sequence depends on a specific position during a power failure, specify a spring-return actuator.
What shaft sizes does the LMQX24-MFT fit?
It couples to shafts from 1/2 in. to 1.05 in. via its standard universal clamp using its universal clamp.
What control signal does the LMQX24-MFT use?
It uses field-programmable MFT control (set for 2-10 VDC by default). Because it is MFT, you can field-select other modes (variable VDC, on/off) without changing the part number.
What is the running time of the LMQX24-MFT?
Motor running time is 2.5 s / 90°. The 'Q' quick-running design suits fast or high-cycle damper applications.
Is the LMQX24-MFT the same as the SR (2-10 VDC) version?
Belimo assigns the default MFT parameters for 2-10 V applications during manufacturing, so the unit ships set for 2-10 VDC modulating control, and MFT lets you field-select other signals and ranges under one part number. It should not be assumed identical to an SR model; the supplied Belimo documentation does not establish an equivalent SR version for this SKU.
What is the difference between the Belimo LMQX24-MFT and the LMQB24-MFT?
Both are non-spring-return actuators of the same torque class. Their published specifications are not identical: LMQX24-MFT and LMQB24-MFT differ on weight 1.9 lb vs 2.4 lb. Verify the exact control, running time, electrical, enclosure and mounting requirements before substituting one for the other.
Is the Belimo LMQX24-MFT available from an authorized Belimo distributor?
Yes. ZOT Supply is an authorized Belimo distributor and carries the LMQX24-MFT. Every unit ships factory new with Belimo's full 5-year warranty and application support.
