The Belimo NMQB24-MFT is a quick-running non-spring-return damper actuator delivering 70 in-lb [8 Nm] of torque with field-programmable MFT control that ships set for 2-10 VDC by default on AC/DC 24 V power. It direct-couples to round or square damper shafts up to 1.05 in. with a universal clamp and holds its last position on loss of power (non-fail-safe, no spring return), making it a member of the NMB platform for large commercial HVAC dampers. Its quick 4-second running time suits fast-response damper control.
Specifications sourced from the official Belimo NMQB24-MFT technical data sheet (rev 2025-10-06).
Overview
Belimo NM-Series actuators are non-spring-return drives for commercial HVAC control 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 NMQB24-MFT produces 70 in-lb [8 Nm] and mounts directly to round or square damper shafts up to 1.05 in. with its universal clamp (a crank arm and brackets are available for jackshaft and linkage applications); manual positioning uses an external push button. This NMQ model uses a quick 4-second motor for fast-response applications. It ships set for 2-10 VDC modulating control, and Multi-Function Technology lets you field-select other signals, ranges and feedback under one part number.
Best for
- Modulating control with field-selectable signal (2-10 VDC default)
- Non-spring-return applications (no fail-safe required)
- Outdoor-air, mixing-box and zone dampers
- Fast-response control (4-second running time)
Key Features
70 in-lb Torque
Sized for commercial HVAC dampers; direct-couples to round or square damper shafts up to 1.05 in. with a universal clamp.
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 where fail-safe is not required.
MFT — 2-10 VDC by Default
Ships set for 2-10 VDC modulating control. Field-select other signals and ranges under one part number.
Quick 4-Second Running Time
A quick-running motor drives 90° in about 4 seconds — for fast-response damper and pressure control.
Push-Button Manual Override
An external push button declutches the gear train so you can position the damper by hand for setup or service.
cULus Listed
Double-insulated (Class 2), cULus listed and ISO 9001 built for long, maintenance-free service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Belimo NMQB24-MFT?
The Belimo NMQB24-MFT is a non-spring-return (non-fail-safe) damper actuator for commercial HVAC. It produces 70 in-lb [8 Nm] of torque, uses field-programmable MFT control (set for 2-10 VDC by default) on AC/DC 24 V power, and holds its last position on loss of power. Its housing is rated NEMA 2.
Is the NMQB24-MFT a spring-return (fail-safe) actuator?
No. The NMQB24-MFT is non-spring-return: on power loss it holds its last position rather than driving to a fail-safe position. For fail-safe operation choose a spring-return Belimo actuator (such as the EF-Series) instead.
How much torque does the NMQB24-MFT provide?
It delivers 70 in-lb [8 Nm] of torque, sizing it for fast-response and commercial HVAC dampers.
What shaft sizes does the NMQB24-MFT fit?
It direct-couples to round or square damper shafts up to 1.05 in. using its universal clamp (K-NA). For jackshafts or off-shaft mounting, a crank arm and brackets (ZG-NMA, ZG-JSL) are available.
What control signal does the NMQB24-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, floating point, PWM) without changing the part number.
What is the running time of the NMQB24-MFT?
The NMQB24-MFT is a quick-running NMQ actuator with about a 4-second running time for 90 degrees — for fast-response damper and pressure control. It delivers 70 in-lb of torque.
Is the NMQB24-MFT the same as the SR (2-10 VDC) version?
Functionally yes — it ships set for 2-10 VDC modulating control, identical to the SR model. MFT simply lets you field-select other signals and ranges, so one part number covers many specifications.
How do you manually position the NMQB24-MFT?
Press the external manual-override push button to declutch the gear train, then turn the damper by hand for setup or service.
Is the Belimo NMQB24-MFT available from an authorized Belimo distributor?
Yes. ZOT Supply is an authorized Belimo distributor and carries the NMQB24-MFT. Every unit ships factory new with Belimo's full 5-year warranty and application support.
