Belimo Fail-Safe Actuators
Belimo Fail-Safe Actuators – Reliable Safety and Precision for Critical HVAC Applications
When safety and operational continuity are non-negotiable, Belimo Fail-Safe Actuators provide the trusted performance demanded by industries worldwide. Designed to return to a predefined safe position during a power failure, these actuators ensure protection for systems, equipment, and occupants in critical environments. From commercial HVAC systems to specialist industrial applications, Belimo’s range of fail-safe actuators delivers dependable control, energy efficiency, and long service life.
What Are Fail-Safe Actuators?
A fail-safe actuator automatically reverts a damper or valve to a predefined safe position (open or closed) when power is lost. This functionality is crucial for maintaining system safety and preventing equipment damage or operational hazards.
Belimo Fail-Safe Actuators use either spring-return or advanced electronic fail-safe technology to ensure the actuator always reaches its intended safe position quickly, reliably, and without manual intervention.
