  • Page 4: Local Code Approval

    Local Code Approval While it is not detailed in codes, the following rules should be followed for selecting Belimo actuators for replacement: Check the technical specifications to ensure an “equal or better” actuator is used. • Temperature – the replacement actuator shall have been UL555S tested at the same or better temperature as the original actuator.

  • Page 9: Examples Of Various Gear Train Motors And Mounting

    Examples of various gear train motors and mounting In general, oil-filled spring return motors like the MA418 are straightforward replacements. In this case, the Belimo FSNF or FSAF may be direct coupled. The shaft spring should be examined and exercised to prove it is still operational. The fusible link cannot be seen, however it should release the shaft spring.
  • Page 10 The above applications will need linkages due to space constraints or accessibility ZG-AF US kit. This contains parts for several different ways to linkage the FSAF and FSNF series of actuators. Gear Train Motors and Linkages - Replacements with Belimo March 2018...

  • Page 11: Linkage Mounting

    Springs are under high torsion and may cause serious injury! If any external springs are present, exercise caution – wear face and hand protection Apply the most appropriate linkage mounting method for the geometric arrangement Gear Train Motors and Linkages - Replacements with Belimo March 2018...
  • Page 12 With no space to direct couple, the ZG-AF Leg kit has been used. Note the legs between actuator and duct Above are some ways in which Belimo linkages are used. The lower right picture is of an FSTF with ZG-TF112. This actuator is not generally used for retrofits as it is only 18 in-lb of torque, but in special circumstances, it is quite useful.

    Given the typical space constraints of installed dampers, it is likely that all the actuator and linkage parts will need to be assembled as much as possible and then installed as an assembly.

  • Page 20 Clamp The geometry of linkages changes the torque translation between the actuator and the damper. See Belimo’s Mounting Methods Guide for a description of the mathematics. As long as it is mechanically solid, the anti-rotation strap may be bent to fit height.

  • Page 22 Depending on the geometry, any number of mounting arrangements are correct. Alternately, the anti-rotation strap can be attached to any Belimo linkage, an electrical J-box cover plate, or to a pieced of U-channel. It is important to remember that the ducts are fall-away. The actuator mounting cannot interfere with the ability of the duct to fall from the damper.
