AUMA produces new part-turn actuator

Published: 9th December 2013 | Issue 27

Production commences for the new AUMA SQ .2 part-turn actuator

The new AUMA SQ .2 part-turn actuator has been successfully introduced to market. Designed for butterfly and ball valve automation, the SQ .2 replaces AUMA’s established SG .1 range.

Enhancements set to expand process control applications for AUMA in the power and water industries include a significant increase in torque range, sophisticated diagnostics and asset management functionality.

A new actuator size in the SQ .2 series more than doubles the torque range offered by AUMA’s predecessor product: this is a significant expansion now covering 50Nm to 2,400Nm.

Advanced features and benefits include adoption over a wider torque range without the need for a gearbox – this provides a more compact and cost effective actuation solution. Sophisticated diagnostics and asset management enhancements include additional temperature and vibration sensors. For enhanced positioning accuracy, and an increased number of permissible starts per hour, an SQR version for modulating duty replaces the SGR.

Commissioning and operation of SQ actuators are identical to the SA .2 multi-turn range, introduced by AUMA in 2010. Both ranges are available with simple AM or micro-controller operated AC integral controls – as a result, controls are interchangeable and, at plants where both product series are installed, on-site device management is simplified.
