Electrical actuator producer AUMA has added an explosion-proof model to its profitable PROFOX actuator collection.
“The brand new PROFOX-X actuators broaden all the advantages of our small and good PROFOX actuator collection to functions in probably explosive atmospheres,” says AUMA product supervisor Christoph Edelmann. “The versatile, future-proof actuators meet all the necessities of recent plant automation.”
ATEX and IECEx certifications for the very best fuel group IIC T4, which incorporates hydrogen, guarantee secure operation in probably explosive atmospheres.
As with the entire PROFOX line, the PROFOX-X collection consists of multi-turn, part-turn and linear actuators, providing automation options for all valve sorts within the decrease torque and thrust ranges. Compact design makes PROFOX-X an ideal match for tight areas, for instance in skid installations.
All PROFOX actuators are optimised for low power consumption and excessive effectivity, thus minimising their carbon footprint.
Excessive-quality “made in Germany” design and development, huge temperature vary and premium corrosion safety guarantee excessive reliability and lengthy service life beneath powerful course of situations.
The good actuators are equally suited to OPEN-CLOSE responsibility and modulating functions. Motor pace is adjustable, guaranteeing quick and exact positioning. Comfortable begin and delicate cease functionalities improve valve lifetime.
PROFOX actuators help fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet communication, making host system integration versatile and straightforward. The actuators’ embedded information logging is an ideal match for CORALINK, AUMA’s digital ecosystem, enabling superior diagnostics and predictive upkeep.
PROFOX actuators are easy and straightforward to make use of by way of an app, saving time and assets throughout set up and commissioning. The FOX-EYE, a centrally positioned LED, and a place indicator on the housing clearly present the actuator standing at any time, even from a distance.
