New explosion-proof electric actuator from AUMA

Published: 7th March 2014 | Issue 28

Explosion-proof electric actuators from AUMA include the new part-turn SQEx .2 (foreground) and multi-turn SAEx .2

AUMA has announced that orders can be placed for its new explosion-proof version part-turn actuator. Designed for butterfly and ball valve automation, the SQEx .2 replaces AUMA’s established SG .1 range. For enhanced positioning accuracy, and an increased number of permissible starts per hour, AUMA has produced an SQREx version actuator for modulating duty.

Sophisticated diagnostics and asset management functionality are enhancements set to benefit a range of process control installations. Additionally, torque capability has been significantly enhanced with a new actuator size which covers 50Nm to 2,400Nm, without the need for a gear box.

Commissioning and operation of SQEx actuators are identical to the SAEx .2 multi-turn range - this benefits users as controls are interchangeable and, where both product series are installed, on-site device management is simplified. Both ranges are available with simple AMExC or micro-controller operated ACExC integral controls.

The SQEx .2 meets the European ATEX and International IECEx standards. The product will be submitted for certification in additional countries including the Russian Federation, the United States, Japan and Canada.
