ACTUATOR EXPANDS BENEFITS OF SERIES To better meet the requirements of modern plant automation
EXPLOSION PROOF E
lectric actuator manufacturer AUMA has added an explosion- proof version to its
successful PROFOX actuator series. “The new PROFOX-X actuators
expand all the benefits of our small and smart PROFOX actuator series to applications in potentially explosive atmospheres,” says AUMA product manager Christoph Edelmann. “These versatile, future-proof actuators meet all the requirements of modern plant automation.” ATEX and IECEx certifications
for the highest gas group IIC T4, which includes hydrogen, ensure safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres. As with the whole PROFOX line, the
The product’s high-quality ‘made in Germany” design and construction, wide temperature range and premium corrosion protection ensure high reliability and long service life under tough process conditions. The smart actuators are
equally suited to OPEN- CLOSE duty and modulating applications. PROFOX actuators
PROFOX-X series includes multi- turn, part-turn and linear actuators, offering automation solutions for all valve types in the lower torque and thrust ranges. Compact design makes PROFOX-X a perfect fit for tight spaces. All PROFOX actuators are
optimised for low energy consumption and high efficiency, thus minimising their carbon footprint.
support fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet communication, making host system integration flexible and easy. The actuators’ embedded data logging enables advanced diagnostics and predictive maintenance. n
