LF

®

The LF actuators are provided with an adjustable stop to limit
the rotation of the actuator.  This function works in conjunction
with the universal clamp or the optional position indicator.
The adjustable stop is needed when rotation of less than 95°
is required.  The LF actuator can be indefinitely stalled, in any
position, without harming the actuator.

Using the universal clamp:
1. Loosen the end stop fastening screw using a #2 Phillips

screwdriver.  

2. Move the stop block so the bottom edge of the block lines

up with the number corresponding to the desired degrees
of rotation.  (example: 45 degrees of rotation = .5)

3. Lock the block in place with the fastening screw.
4. Check the actuator for proper rotation.

Using the IND-LF position indicator with adjustable stop:
Note: preferred method if short shaft mounting is used.
1.  With the actuator in its fail-safe position, place the IND-LF

Position Indicator so that it points to the 0 degree position.

2. Loosen the end stop fastening screw using a #2 Phillips

screwdriver.

3. Move the stop block so the bottom edge of the block lines

up with the number corresponding to the desired degrees
of rotation.  (example: 45 degrees of rotation = .5)

4. Lock the block in place with the fastening screw.
5. Check the actuator for proper rotation.

Installation Instructions

Quick-Mount Visual Instructions for Mechanical Installation

LF24-SR US  actuators have built-in brushless DC motors which provide better accuracy and longer service life.  

The LF24-SR US  actuators are 

d

esigned with a unique non-symmetrical deadband.  The actuator follows an increasing or

decreasing control signal with a 80 mV resolution.  If the signal changes in the opposite direction, the actuator will not respond
until the control signal changes by 200 mV.  This allows these actuators to track even the slightest deviation very accurately,
yet allowing the actuator to “wait” for a much larger change in control signal due to control signal instability.

LF Actuator responds to a 80 mV signal when

not changing direction from stop position.

LF Actuator responds to a 200 mV signal when

reversing direction from stop position.

LF24-3 (-S) US and LF24-SR (-S) US actuators have a direction of
rotation switch on the cover labeled “CW-CCW”.   Switch position
indicates start point. For the LF24-SR, with the switch in position
“CW”, the actuator rotates clockwise with a decrease in voltage or
current.  With the switch in position “CCW”, the actuator rotates
counterclockwise with a decrease in voltage or current.  

The LF24-3 (-S) US and LF24-SR (-S) US actuators rotate clock-
wise when the switch is in the “CW” position and power is applied
to wire #3.  When power is applied to wire #4 the actuator rotates
counter clockwise.

Rotating the direction of rotation switch to “CCW” reverses the
control logic.

During checkout, the switch position can be temporarily
reversed and the actuator will reverse its direction.  This allows
the technician a fast and easy way to check the actuator oper-
ation without having to switch wires or change settings on the
controller.  

When the check-out is complete, make sure the

switch is placed back to its original position.
