Rising stems are led through the hollow shaft of the multi-turn actuator which drives the stem in combination with the output drive type A. The stem protection tube protects the stem from pollution and people from injuries.

Open-close duty, positioning duty and modulating duty

TIGRON actuator versions are available for all types of duty. Combinations with multi-turn gearboxes In combination with GK or GST gearboxes, torques up to 16,000 Nm can be reached.

Modular AUMA scheme

Six gearbox type ranges are part of AUMA’s product portfolio. They are ideally suited to complete and enhance TIGRON’s application range even to other valve designs. This includes numerous butterfly valves or the conventional ball valves of the oil and gas industry requiring a part-turn movement of mostly 90 degrees. In these cases, TIGRON is combined with AUMA part-turn gearboxes.

AUMA linear thrust units convert TIGRON’s multi-turn movement into a thrust movement which is required for globe valve automation.

Besides the variable speed, the insensitivity to voltage and frequency variations, the lack of current increase during motor start-up as well as the valve protection by soft approaching of the end positions should be mentioned.

The rugged design makes these actuators extremely resistant to environmental impacts (standard corrosivity category C5, IP67, double sealed - enclosure protection is also ensured during commissioning) and can be further enhanced as an option.

The SEVEN actuator is available in three electronic variants: ECOTRON, PROFITRON and HiMod.

AC

Actuator controls

AC actuator controls are your perfect solution if the application requires self-adapting control functions, data logging, a configurable interface or if valve and actuator are to be integrated into a Plant Asset Management System due to advanced diagnostic functions.

AC actuator controls are equipped with a parallel interface for free configuration and/or interfaces to fieldbus systems as used within process automation.

The diagnostic functions comprise a time-stamped event report, torque characteristics logging, continuous recording of temperatures and vibration within the actuator and, furthermore, counting the number of starts and motor running times.

Further to the basic functions, AC actuator controls offer a number of options to meet special demands. These include torque bypass to unseat valves if tightly seated or functions for extending operating times to avoid water hammer within pipelines.

With the development of the AC 01.2, particular emphasis was laid on user-friendliness and the ease of integration of actuators into the DCS. The large graphic display is used to perform menu-controlled programming of the actuator controls, optionally using AUMA CDT via wireless Bluetooth connection. For fieldbus connections, AC programming can be performed from the control room.
