New actuators for hazardous environments and H2
This company has added an explosion-proof version to its Profox actuator series. The smart and small actuators are ATEX and IECEx certified for the highest gas group IIC T4, which includes hydrogen. Other approvals are in progress. Profox actuators provide reliable, high-performance valve automation for process applications of all kinds. Built-in intelligence makes Profox equally suited to open-close duty and modulating applications. Adjustable speed ensures fast and precise positioning. Operating costs are low, thanks to high mechanical efficiency and low standby consumption. Innovative diagnostics and Fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet interfaces ensure future-proof plant automation. The Profox platform, including multi-turn, part-turn and linear actuators, offers versatile valve actuation solutions for the lower torque ranges. The compact Profox actuators are suitable for limited spaces, such as skid installations. Profox actuators are simple and easy to use, with rapid installation and commissioning via an intuitive application. — AUMA Riester GmbH & Co. KG, Muellheim, Germany
