The Belimo LMX24-3-F is a compact non-spring-return damper actuator delivering 45 in-lb [5 Nm] of torque with on/off and floating-point 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 part of Belimo's configurable LMX platform for small to mid-size commercial HVAC dampers. A square form-fit coupler lets it drive square jackshafts directly.
Specifications sourced from the official Belimo LMX24-3-F technical data sheet (rev 2026-03-18).
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 LMX24-3-F 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). Two-position on/off and 3-wire floating-point control position the damper from a controller or switch.
Best for
- Compact non-spring-return damper control where fail-safe return is not required
- 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)
- Square jackshaft / form-fit coupling
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).
On/Off & Floating Point
Accepts two-position on/off or 3-wire floating-point control from a controller, relay or switch.
Square Form-Fit Coupler
Couples directly to square jackshafts with a form-fit adaptor — no round-shaft clamp required.
cULus Listed & Quiet
Double-insulated (Class 2), cULus listed, ISO 9001 built, UL 2043 plenum-rated for long, maintenance-free service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Belimo LMX24-3-F?
The Belimo LMX24-3-F is a compact non-spring-return (non-fail-safe) damper actuator for commercial HVAC. It produces 45 in-lb [5 Nm] of torque, uses on/off and floating-point control on AC/DC 24 V power, and holds its last position on loss of power. Its housing is rated NEMA 2.
Is the LMX24-3-F a spring-return (fail-safe) actuator?
No. The LMX24-3-F 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 LMX24-3-F 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 LMX24-3-F 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. A square form-fit coupler is included for square jackshafts.
What control signal does the LMX24-3-F use?
It uses on/off and floating-point control. On/Off and 3-wire floating-point control are driven from a controller, relay or switch.
What is the running time of the LMX24-3-F?
Motor running time is about 95 s / 90° for 90 degrees of travel. This is the factory-default run time; as a configurable LMX model it can also be ordered at 35, 45, 60, 150 s — just specify the run time at the time of order.
What does the -F suffix mean on the LMX24-3-F?
The -F denotes a square form-fit mechanical coupler, letting the actuator drive square jackshafts directly without a separate round-shaft clamp.
Is the Belimo LMX24-3-F available from an authorized Belimo distributor?
Yes. ZOT Supply is an authorized Belimo distributor and carries the LMX24-3-F. Every unit ships factory new with Belimo's full 5-year warranty and application support.
