PROVEN CORROSION PROTECTION FOR ACTUATORS


actuators have passed the most demanding corrosion protection tests and meet the requirements of EN ISO 12944-6 for corrosivity categories C5-M long (marine, coastal and off shore areas) and C5-I long (industrial areas with high humidity and aggressive atmospheres). Previous tests had already proved the high corrosion resistance of the advanced two-layer powder coating that AUMA introduced a few years ago. The latest certifi cate confi rms that the fully assembled actuators, including all non-powder-coated metallic parts such as shafts and

“Our actuators are often installed


in very harsh environments, especially in tank farms or on off shore platforms. Excellent corrosion protection is therefore a key concern for us as an actuator manufacturer,” says Gert Wetzel, product manager at AUMA. “We have invested continuously in


corrosion resistance is a two-layer powder coating applied to the individual housing parts before assembly. The coating also includes the output mounting fl ange


and goes beyond the sealing edge of the joints. This means that the coating remains intact even if the actuator is removed from the valve or if the housing is opened during installation or commissioning. ●
