The Belimo LMX24-3-P5-T 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 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 built-in 5 kΩ feedback potentiometer reports damper position. Field wiring is via a screw-terminal strip (26-14 AWG).

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 LMX24-3-P5-T 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). A built-in 5 kΩ potentiometer provides position feedback. 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)
- Position feedback via built-in 5 kΩ potentiometer
- Installations that prefer screw-terminal wiring
Key Features
Non-Spring-Return Design
No fail-safe spring return. Belimo does not publish a defined position on loss of power for this model; specify a spring-return actuator where a fail-safe position is 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.
Built-In 5 kΩ Potentiometer
An integrated 5 kΩ feedback potentiometer reports damper position back to the control system.
Screw-Terminal Wiring
Field wiring lands on a screw-terminal strip (26-14 AWG) instead of a pre-wired cable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Belimo LMX24-3-P5-T?
The Belimo LMX24-3-P5-T 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. It is non-fail-safe: Belimo does not publish a defined position on loss of power for this model. Its housing is rated NEMA 1.
Is the LMX24-3-P5-T a spring-return (fail-safe) actuator?
No. The LMX24-3-P5-T 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 LMX24-3-P5-T 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 LMX24-3-P5-T 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 LMX24-3-P5-T 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-P5-T?
Motor running time is 95 s / 90°.
Does the LMX24-3-P5-T provide position feedback?
Yes. It has a built-in 5 kΩ feedback potentiometer that reports the damper's position back to the control system.
What does the -T in LMX24-3-P5-T mean?
The -T denotes a screw-terminal strip for field wiring (26-14 AWG) in place of the pre-wired cable and conduit connector. Other specifications are not identical — LMX24-3-P5-T and LMX24-3 differ on enclosure rating NEMA 1 vs NEMA 2; weight 0.79 lb vs 0.90 lb. Verify against the exact -T model datasheet before substituting.
What is the difference between the Belimo LMX24-3-P5-T and the LMB24-3-P5-T?
Both are non-spring-return actuators of the same torque class. Their published specifications are not identical: LMX24-3-P5-T and LMB24-3-P5-T differ on weight 0.79 lb vs 1.0 lb. LMX24-3-P5-T additionally publishes a variable running time of 35, 45, 60, 150 s; LMB24-3-P5-T does not publish this field. Both datasheets state the same electrical connection. Verify the exact control, running time, electrical, enclosure and mounting requirements before substituting one for the other.
Is the Belimo LMX24-3-P5-T available from an authorized Belimo distributor?
Yes. ZOT Supply is an authorized Belimo distributor and carries the LMX24-3-P5-T. Every unit ships factory new with Belimo's full 5-year warranty and application support.
