Performance and Application Benefits
The Belimo SM24A-SR actuator is specifically engineered to provide smooth modulating control of air dampers in ventilation and air-handling systems. Its 20 Nm torque output makes it suitable for a wide variety of duct sizes and damper loads.
Because the actuator operates on a 24V AC/DC supply, it integrates seamlessly into standard building control systems. The modulating input ensures that damper positioning is not limited to open or closed states but can instead be continuously adjusted based on real-time demand. This allows for more accurate airflow regulation, reduced energy wastage, and improved indoor comfort.
The built-in feedback output (2–10 V) allows system controllers or other actuators to monitor exact damper position. This is especially useful in larger installations where multiple dampers and actuators must work together to maintain consistent pressure and airflow balance.
Installation and Operation
The SM24A-SR is designed for direct mounting on damper shafts using the supplied universal clamp. The clamp accommodates shafts from 10 mm to 20 mm and includes an anti-rotation mechanism for secure fixing. This ensures fast installation with minimal tools, reducing downtime during new builds or system upgrades.
A manual override button allows engineers to adjust damper position without power or signal input. This is vital for commissioning, troubleshooting, or emergency intervention. The gear train disengages when the button is pressed and re-engages automatically when released.
Adjustable mechanical end stops enable installers to limit rotation to the required angle, avoiding over-adjustment and unnecessary energy use. The actuator’s internal overload protection guarantees reliability by automatically stopping the motor when end positions are reached.
Accessories and Options
Belimo provides a wide range of accessories to enhance the flexibility of the SM24A-SR, including:
Auxiliary switches for additional control options.
Feedback potentiometers for customised position signals.
Signal converters and positioners for specialised applications.
Actuator arms, shaft extensions, crank arms, and anti-rotation devices.
Mounting kits and pluggable position indicators.
These accessories allow the actuator to be adapted to a variety of HVAC system configurations.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Modern building installations demand not only reliability but also efficiency. The SM24A-SR operates at just 2 W under load, making it highly energy efficient. The actuator is designed to be maintenance-free , reducing both operating costs and environmental impact over its service life.
The device is also hygiene tested to VDI 6022, meaning it is suitable for cleanroom environments, healthcare facilities, and other sensitive applications. Its low-emission construction ensures compliance with strict environmental standards, making it a responsible choice for long-term building operation.
