A smart actuator now available as an explosion-proof version
This company is highlighting its small, smart, ProFox actuator series (photo), which recently has been expanded with a new explosion-proof version — ProFox-X. ProFox-X actuators have ATEX and IECEx certifications for the highest gas group, IIC T4, and ensure safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres, including hydrogen applications. Both ProFox and ProFox-X actuators support fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet communication, making host-system integration flexible and easy. The actuators’ embedded data logging is a perfect match for Coralink, this company’s digital ecosystem, enabling advanced diagnostics and predictive maintenance. Motor speed is adjustable, ensuring fast and precise positioning. Soft-start and soft-stop functionalities increase valve lifetime. Hall 8, Stand C23 — AUMA Riester GmbH & Co. KG, Müllheim, Germany
