Electrical actuator producer AUMA has added an explosion-proof model to its profitable PROFOX actuator sequence.
“The new PROFOX-X actuators expand all the benefits of our small and smart PROFOX actuator series to applications in potentially explosive atmospheres,” says AUMA product supervisor Christoph Edelmann. “The versatile, future-proof actuators meet all the requirements of modern plant automation.”
ATEX and IECEx certifications for the best fuel group IIC T4, which incorporates hydrogen, guarantee secure operation in doubtlessly explosive atmospheres.
As with the entire PROFOX line, the PROFOX-X sequence contains multi-turn, part-turn and linear actuators, providing automation options for all valve varieties 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 vitality consumption and excessive effectivity, thus minimising their carbon footprint.
Excessive-quality “made in Germany” design and building, broad temperature vary and premium corrosion safety guarantee excessive reliability and lengthy service life underneath robust course of situations.
The good actuators are equally suited to OPEN-CLOSE obligation and modulating functions. Motor velocity is adjustable, making certain quick and exact positioning. Tender begin and gentle cease functionalities enhance valve lifetime.
PROFOX actuators help fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet communication, making host system integration versatile and simple. The actuators’ embedded knowledge logging is an ideal match for CORALINK, AUMA’s digital ecosystem, enabling superior diagnostics and predictive upkeep.
PROFOX actuators are easy and simple 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.
