This smart actuator is ‘as cunning as a fox’
Aimed at process and water applications requiring fast and precise positioning, flexibility and future-proof interfaces, Profox actuators (photo) combine high performance with new features and an “excellent” cost-benefit ratio, says the company. Built-in intelligence makes Profox equally suited for 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. Profox actuators work with gate, butterfly, ball and globe valves. There are multi-turn versions for torques of 10–100 Nm and partial-turn versions delivering 32 to 600 Nm. A linear actuator will follow soon. The most common communication protocols are supported. IP67 protection (IP68 optional) and the company’s unique corrosion protection ensure that Profox actuators have a long life, even under the toughest process conditions at temperatures from –30 to 70°C.
