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%.

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.

Industrial Ethernet
HART makes use of the known 4 – 20 mA standard signal for analogue data transmission. HART communication is modulated as additional signal to the analogue signal. Advantages: The digital HART signal can be transmitted simultaneously to the digital signal. The existing 4 – 20 mA infrastructure is thus also available for digital communication. Consequently, this allows for reading additional parameters and diagnostic data from field devices.
HART is based on the host-field device principle. The optional multidrop HART topology essentially complies with the line structures of fieldbus systems. In most cases, the conventional 4 – 20 mA point-to-point communication is used.
