AUMA Actuators
Strength and capability: AUMA valve actuators and manual operators are trusted by companies worldwide.
In compliance with ISO 5210, a multi-turn actuator is capable of withstanding thrust applied to the valve and transmits torque to the valve for at least one revolution. In general, multi-turn actuators are required to perform more than one revolution. Consequently, AUMA gate valves are often equipped with rising valve stems. They are operated on the basis of several revolutions performed by the multi-turn actuator. Therefore, the multi-turn actuator is equipped with a hollow shaft housing the gate valve stem for these applications.
In compliance with ISO 5211, part-turn actuators transmit torque to the valve for a rotation of one revolution or less. They do not have to be capable of withstanding axial thrust. Part-turn valves – such as butterfl y valves and ball valves – are often designed in multi-turn version. SQ part-turn actuators are equipped with internal end stops to allow precise approaching of end positions during handwheel Operation.
To perfom linear movements the multi-turn actuator SA can be combined with the linear thrust unit LE, forming an electric linear actuator. In case a lever arrangement has to be operated, the linear thrust unit can be mounted on a base.
Pioneer’s devotion to partnering with world-leading technology providers has led us to collaborate with AUMA. The AUMA brand is synonymous with long-standing experience and knowledge, specializing in electric actuators for energy, water, oil and gas, as well as other industrial sectors. AUMA is devoted to providing a modular product concept with a comprehensive range of sub-assemblies, allowing for configuration of customer specific actuators to accommodate each specific application. User-friendly and simple to install, Pioneer offers comprehensive installation, maintenance, and support for your AUMA actuator.
The basic function of AUMA actuators is the same across all products. The gearing is driven by an electric motor. The torque applied at the gearing output is transmitted to the valve via a standardized mechanical interface. A control unit within the actuator records travel and monitors torque applied. When reaching a valve end position or a predefined torque limit, the control unit sends a signal to motor controls. Upon receiving this signal, motor controls typically integrated within the actuator stop the actuator. Motor controls are equipped with an appropriate electric interface adapted to the DCS to exchange operation commands and feedback signals between the motor controls and DCS. Whether automating a multi-turn valve, gate valve, butterfly valve, ball valves or globe valves, AUMA can provide the solution.
Pioneer’s engineering staff, as well as factory trained technicians, provide training, on-site commissioning support, field repairs and troubleshooting to assist in continued service after the point of sale. Focused on providing genuine quality and reliable service for over 30 years, Pioneer is always looking for new ways to improve. Our goal is to procure a valve solution that fits your facility’s needs and budget. To see how we can revolutionize your operations, reach out to our team today.
