El. actuator PROFOX
A partner for life for all valve types • Economic • Smart • Simple Launched in 2020, PROFOX follows a platform scheme. Butterfly and ball valves, gate valves or globe valves – the suitable PROFOX actuators can be produced for any of these valve types and form one single basis. The homogeneous scheme for all PROFOX actuators results in economic viability since installation, commissioning, device integration, maintenance and more follow the identical and simple concept. Commissioning is made within minutes using the AUMA Assistant App, which also allows the request and analysis of PROFOX device data. This is particularly useful to optimise device parameters for changing requirements or in case of service work. The FOX-EYE as a clearly visible LED is the core and distinctive indication element for PROFOX. Different colours and blinking behaviour give unambiguous information on the device status. PROFOX can be integrated into traditional communication systems with binary and analogue signals but also in digitally communicating networks right through to the AUMA Cloud allowing the representation of the digital twins of PROFOX actuators. Like all other AUMA actuators, PROFOX withstands even in the harshest of environments thanks to the excellent corrosion protection, the outstanding IP68 enclosure protection and the large ambient temperature range of –30 °C to + 70 °C.
Electric actuators SA/SG
Make your valve a machine • Modular • Proven • Powerful Millions of actuators of SA/SQ ranges are installed in process plants all around the globe. According to the machinery directive, they become a machine when mounted to a valve. A machine which will provide reliable work in the background: Opening or closing pipes or channels, or precise regulation of media flow according to their specified schedule. With AUMA, modularity stands for optimising the SA/SQ ranges in harmony with the requirements of automation engineering. At the time of fieldbus launch, Industrial Ethernet was unknown. However today, the actuators can be integrated in digital distributed control systems and are capable to comply with the requirements of IIoT. Continue a proven system in the future – This is AUMA. With AUMA, modularity stands for standardised solutions for any application requiring optimum automation solutions for both the valve to be automated, as well as for the DCS environment. In general, there is virtually no automation task for industrial valves which cannot be mastered by the SA/SQ ranges. Grand torque range The SA multi-turn actuator range includes 13 sizes, capable of providing on their own between 10 Nm and 32,000 Nm. They allow automation of large gate valves without additional gearboxes. In combination with AUMA valve gearboxes, this range is multiplied. SQ part-turn actuators are the suitable solution for butterfly and ball valves. SA/SQ ranges offer optimum prerequisites for automating all industrial valves within a plant, whatever their difference in type and size.
