SAV

Multi-turn actuators

With SAV .2 multi-turn actuators for open-close duty paired with ACV 01.2 actuator controls, the proven AUMA SA/SAR range is enhanced by variable speed models. AUMA is spearheading market technology by offering a wide speed control ratio of 1:10.

SAV multi-turn actuators are rated for open-close duty and positioning duty (classes A and B) / (short-time duty S2 - 15 min). Special sizing for longer running times is available for the S2 - 30 min duty.

SV+MEC

Multi-turn actuators

The "small" electric globe valve actuator range with separate MEC controls.

All parameters are directly set at the MEC controls. The controls contain switchgear, power supply unit, interface to the DCS. The controls automatically switch the actuator off once the valve end position is reached, motor overheating is detected or a torque overload has occurred.

All housing components of the actuator are made of bronze, all external screws are made of stainless steel. This ensures complete resistance against seawater even over a longer time period. The housing of MEC controls is made of aluminium provided with AUMA powder coating also achieving a premium corrosion resistance.

The actuators are designed for open-close duty and positioning duty (classes A and B) / (short-time duty S2 - 15 min), the variant for modulating duty (class C) S4 - 40%.

TIGRON-M

Multi-turn actuators

The TIGRON is a multi-turn actuator with classic mission: Automation of gate valves with/without rising stem, of globe valves (double block and bleed valves) and in combination with part-turn gearbox of butterfly valves and ball valves.

Virtually unlimited stroke

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.

Product

FQM/FQMEx

Part-turn actuators

With the FQM fail safe unit, AUMA offers innovative and safe actuator solutions for automatic operation of valves in case of emergencies making use of stored mechanical energy.

Constant torque characteristics across the overall torque range.

The spring is not operated during standard operation. As a consequence, actuator sizing can be relatively small.

The end position switches are automatically set during the setting procedure of end positions OPEN and CLOSED and do not require separate adjustment.

Product

SA and GS

Part-turn actuators

When combining SA multi-turn actuators with GS part-turn gearboxes, the combination acts as electric part-turn actuator fulfilling higher torque requirements.

Thus, these combinations represent a complement to the SQ part-turn actuators with their 2,400 Nm torque range limit.
