Electric Actuators

Valve Gearboxes

Product Overview

AUMA automates valves

Industrial processes require automation and automation requires actuators. Reliably operating actuators are
crucial to the safety and economic viability of industrial plants.
However, industrial processes vary.
Each industry has its specific requirements and many actuator applications
require individual solutions. Applications vary between OPEN/CLOSE
and modulating duty; watertight, submersible and explosion-proof locations and a wide array of control system interface requirements. In order
to make industrial automation possible, great flexibility is demanded of the
actuator and the actuator manufacturer.

For this reason AUMA has a wide

product range with electric multi-turn,
part-turn, linear and lever actuators,
as well as several different valve gearboxes. Actuator controls including
micro-processor based controls and a
variety of digital communication interfaces, enable the optimal connection
of the motor operated valves to the
process control system. This makes it
possible for AUMA to provide a suitable automation solution for virtually
every valve.
AUMA has been developing and
building electric actuators and valve
gearboxes for over 30 years. During
that time AUMA has acquired expertise which cannot be surpassed.
AUMA is one of the world-wide leading electric actuator manufacturers.

Actuator Controls
Actuators with controls
Actuator controls with integral pilot
devices are available for SA actuators
up to size 16.1 and all part-turn actuators SG and AS. They form the optimal
interface between process control and
actuator.
The controls can be supplied in a variety of versions. Whether parallel control
or via digital communucation, whether
simple OPEN-CLOSE functionality or
an integral PID control almost every
process integration imaginable is possible.
In planning, commissioning and operation, AUMA actuator controls have a
clear advantage over a remote control
center. The economy of integral controls has a positive impact on overall
plant cost.
The various AUMA control configurations provide the flexibility for control by
many methods:
Contact closure
Analog signal
Digital communications:
PROFIBUS-DP
DeviceNet
MODBUS-RTU
Foundation Fieldbus

Multi-turn SA actuator
with AUMA MATIC
integral controls
The AUMA MATIC is the ideal control for
OPEN-CLOSE applications. It is suitable to
actuators with 3-phase and 1-phase motor

Part-turn SG actuators with AUMA MATIC

integral controls. The AUMA MATIC is
designed for all actuators with 3-phase AC
and 1-phase AC motors.

Actuator Controls

Multi-turn SA actuator with AUMATIC

integral controls
The microprocessor controlled AUMATIC
offers a variety of functions - from positioning to operating data logging. Fieldbus
control is possible.
The controls are designed for all actuators with 3-phase AC and 1-phase AC
motors. When furnished with the MWG
control unit, the AUMATIC provides the
capability for non-intrusive setting.

Part-turn AS actuators with

VARIOMATIC integral controls.
The VARIOMATIC is designed for the AS actautor.

Part-turn SG actuators with

AUMATIC integral controls.
The AUMATIC is designed for all
actuators with 3-phase AC and
1-phase AC motors.

The controls cannot only be mounted directly to the

actuators, but also separately on a wall bracket. This is
recommended when:
the controls and therefore also pilot devices would be
difficult to access.
heavy vibrations or high ambient temperatures within
the vicinity of the valve could disturb the electronics.

Service
The reliability of actuators is crucial
to the safety of entire plants. Therefore it is imperative to choose an
appropriate configuration of actuators and to integrate the actuator
optimally into the process control
system.
Actuators are found in all industy
sectors. The resulting variety of different requirements makes extensive know-how necessary even in
the planning phase. The careful
selection of the devices is the prerequisite for smooth installation and
commissioning. However, if a fault
should occur during operation, it
must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Trouble-shooting,
commissioning and maintenance
With subsidiaries and representatives based throughout North America and worldwide, AUMA has the
necessary infrastructure to react
quickly and competently to customer
requirements. Optimally equipped
with tools, parts and knwowldge,
AUMA technicians can eliminate
faults quickly.
Furthermore, apart from trouble-shooting, several additional services are offered. The commissioning service for actuators ensures
correct function from the beginning.

This defines the AUMA service concept. And for this reason AUMA
offers a range of services.
Advice via telephone / e-mail
At AUMA, engineers are available as
competent contacts in every phase
of the project. This means that
questions can be answered
quickly
and
plans can be
finalized early
in the design
process. If a
dimensional
drawing or a
wiring diagram
is required at
short notice,
the necessary
documents are quickly available via
fax or e-mail.
Internet
The AUMA internet presentation
(www.auma-usa.com or www.auma.
com) offers up-to-date and extensive
information around the clock.
General information, wiring diagrams, CAD drawings, operation
instructions and lots more are also
accessible on these web sites. Have
a look. It is well worth a visit.

Automation / modernization
Valves are often still fully functional after
many decades, however, the actuator
technology is no longer compatible with
the new process control system and
needs to be replaced. AUMA automation-centers provide everything necessary to modernize the actuator technology in an older plant - from the preparation of a quotation, the construction and
manufacturing of special adapters to
commissioning and training.
