Belimo Z-AF Bracket
The Belimo Z-AF Bracket is a specialized HVAC retrofit mounting kit designed to bridge the gap between legacy AF/NF spring return actuators and the contemporary AFB/NFB series. In the field, replacing discontinued actuators often presents physical alignment challenges; this damper actuator accessory eliminates the need for expensive linkage re-engineering or ductwork modifications. Constructed for structural rigidity, the Z-AF retrofit bracket ensures that the anti-rotation pin is perfectly positioned within the actuator slot, providing the necessary "float" to prevent mechanical binding and premature motor failure. This kit is essential for contractors performing actuator replacement on existing damper shafts where the footprint of the newer Belimo AFB series does not natively match the original installation's anti-rotation strap location. By utilizing this genuine Belimo hardware, technicians can maintain the assembly's integrity while upgrading to the higher torque and brushless DC motor efficiency found in the latest generation of spring return actuators.
Key Benefits- Ensures accurate anti-rotation alignment when replacing classic AF/NF actuators with AFB/NFB(X) models.
- Reduces labor time by allowing direct mounting to existing damper shafts without modifying the anti-rotation strap position.
- Provides high-strength support to handle the 80 in-lb to 180 in-lb torque ratings of the newer spring return series.
- Maintains the necessary actuator "float" required to protect the damper shaft and actuator gears from binding.
- Compatible with a wide range of direct-coupled air damper actuators used in BAS/HVAC applications.
Is this bracket required for all AFB/NFB installations?
No, this bracket is specifically designed for retrofit applications where an older Belimo AF or NF actuator is being replaced by a newer AFB or NFB series and the original mounting holes or anti-rotation strap need to be reused.
Can I use this for non-spring return actuators?
The Z-AF is primarily engineered for the AF/NF to AFB/NFB retrofit. For non-spring return models like the LM or GM series, different adapters such as the Z-SMA or Z-GMA are typically standard.
Does this kit include the anti-rotation strap?
The Z-AF is a retrofit bracket that facilitates the connection to existing mounting points; however, most new Belimo actuators ship with a standard anti-rotation strap that works in conjunction with this bracket for precise positioning.
