New Generation AF and NF Series Raises the Bar for Actuator Quality, Reliability and Technical Superiority.

- New AF outputs 180 in-lb min. torque (+35%); driving dampers up to 45 square feet!
- New NF outputs 90 in-lb min torque (+50%) driving dampers up to 22 square feet
- More torque with the lowest transformer size and power consumption ratings in the industry, saves energy
- Reduced edge to shaft center distance to fit in tight spaces
- Manual override is now standard on all models with tool-less locking! One-handed operation for ease of use in field
- Universal power supply (On/Off models only) can accept between 24 and 240 VAC; one actuator for all voltages. No transformer available? No problem!

New AF and NF spring return actuators provide more features in a smaller housing, about 25% smaller! Low power consumption, increased torque to 90 in-lb (50% more compared to original NF series) and 180 in-lb (35% more compared to the original AF series), and faster running times (with MFT technology) offer new solutions for control dampers, control valves and retrofit applications.

The New Generation can be integrated with new and some existing Belimo accessories allowing for more options in both mounting and commissioning. A wide selection of clamping options, electrical connections and running times are now available providing you a cost effective solution with the same reliability you have come to experience with Belimo. The New Generation spring return actuators are suitable for use in control dampers up to 45 square feet* (with new AF) and up to 22 square feet* (with the new NF), air handling units, control valve, retrofit t and replacement solutions and tandem mounted applications where higher torque is required.

New Generation Introduction and Phase Out Plan

In December 2009, Belimo started the phase in of the new generation NF series actuators (NFB, NFX models). A steady production ramp up will continue through April 2010, but stock levels are ready to meet market demand at this time.

The phase out of original NF will begin on April 1st, 2010. A noticeable reduction in stock levels will start in April and continue through July 2010. During this phase out period, orders for original NF product will be filled unless the products are unavailable. If original NF products are not available, then new generation NFB or NFX products will be substituted at the original NF price level or at the price level of a valid quotation from Belimo. Belimo will continue this policy through July 2010. After July 2010, we will continue to sell original products while supplies last.

New Generation AF MFT Introduction / Original AF MFT Phase Out

In January 2010, Belimo started the phase in of the new generation of AFB-MFT(-S, 95), AFX24-MFT(-S, 95) actuators. A steady production ramp up will continue through April 2010, but stock levels are ready to meet market demand at this time.

A partial phase out of original AF24-MFT(-S,95) US will begin April 1, 2010. The original AF24-MFT models will be maintained on some valves in 2010 and also Belimo will maintain a lower stock level of these actuators to meet needs for replacement, retrofit and OEM's and/or customer's who need more time to transition over to new generation AF. Original AF24...(-S), AF120(-S) US, AF230(-S) US and AF24-SR(-S) US will still be available throughout 2010.

The new 2010 PGPL will not advertise any of the original NF or original AF24-MFT(-S) US. These can still be ordered through Belimo's website or by calling Belimo. Belimo will honor pricing and quotes provided within 60 days for these original models replaced by new generation.
