Smart actuators for process applications
Engineering360 News Desk | April 24, 2020The new Profox electric valve actuator from Auma is suited for process industry applications which require fast and precise positioning, flexibility and future-proof interfaces.
Built-in intelligence makes Profox equally suited to both simple open-close duty and challenging modulating
Source: Aumaapplications for all industry sectors, including water treatment, combined heat and power plants, process industries and shipbuilding. Motor speed is adjustable, ensuring fast and precise positioning without overrun. Soft start and soft stop functionality increases valve lifetime and operating costs are low due to high mechanical efficiency and low standby consumption. Innovative diagnostics ensure long-term availability and future-proof Profox actuators for industrial internet of things applications.
Auma Profox actuators work with gate, butterfly, ball and globe valves. There are multi-turn versions for torques of 10-100 Nm and part-turn versions delivering 32-600 Nm. Host system integration is flexible: Profox actuators support the most common communication protocols and are well prepared for future evolutions. Compact design allows Profox actuators to fit tight spaces.
High-quality metal housing with IP67 protection (IP68 optional) and corrosion protection, which meets the highest C5-M/C5-I requirements of EN ISO 12944-6, ensure that Profox actuators have a long life at temperatures from –30° C to 70° C. flexibility and future-proof interfaces, the smart and compact Profox series is suitable for all industry sectors, including water treatment, combined heat and power plants, process industries and shipbuilding.
