AMCX24-MFT

Modulating, Non-Spring Return, 24 V, Multi-Function Technology®

Torque min. 180 in-lb, for control of damper surfaces up to 45 sq. ft.

Application
For proportional modulation of dampers in HVAC systems. Actuator sizing
should be done in accordance with the damper manufacturer’s specifications.
The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05” in diameter by
means of its universal clamp. A crank arm and several mounting brackets are
available for applications where the actuator cannot be direct coupled to the
damper shaft. The default parameters for 2 to 10 VDC applications of the …
MFT actuator are assigned during manufacturing. If necessary, custom versions
of the actuators can be ordered. The parameters can be changed by two means:
pre-set and custom configurations from Belimo or on-site configurations using
the Belimo PC-Tool software.
