In order to ensure that liquids, gases, steam and granulate flow through pipes in process engineering plants and that their flow rates on the transport routes are also optimally controlled, positioners position the valves between the open and closed state. The valves are operated remotely from the control room with AUMA actuators.
AUMA covers a torque range from 10 Nm to 32,000 Nm with the product range of the SA type rotary actuators and a torque range of 50 Nm to 2,400 Nm with the product range of SQ type part-turn actuators.
AUMA electric rotary actuators are used for the automation of butterfly valves or gate valves, for example. They are the most flexible products in the AUMA family. AUMA electric part-turn actuators are used wherever a swivel movement of < 360 degrees has to be realised, as with butterfly valves and ball valves.
