How does an AUMA actuator work?
How does an AUMA actuator work?
AUMA actuators The basic function of AUMA actuators is the same across all products. The gearing is driven by an electric motor. The torque applied at the gearing output is transmitted to the valve via a standardised mechanical interface. A control unit within the actuator records travel and monitors torque applied.
What is a valve actuator motor?
A valve actuator is a mechanical device that uses a power source to operate a valve. This power source can be electric, pneumatic (compressed air), or hydraulic (the flow of oil). There are two main types of actuators, one for each of the two main types of valves that require them. They are rotary and linear.
What is multi turn actuators?
Multi-turn Valve Actuators A multi-turn valve actuator allows the actuation of valves having linear movement. Multi-turn valve actuators must perform more than one revolution and are therefore capable of quickly operating large valves.
What is a part turn actuator?
A Part-turn actuator is a type of actuator, also known as a rotary actuator, that can only rotate left or right over an angle of maximum 300°. These hydraulic actuators operate at working pressures around 70 bar. Part-turn actuators are much smaller than cylinders and do not have any external moving parts.
What do actuators do?
An actuator is a device that uses a form of power to convert a control signal into mechanical motion. Industrial plants use actuators to operate valves, dampers, fluid couplings, and other devices used in industrial process control. The industrial actuator can use air, hydraulic fluid, or electricity for motive power.

What are the types of valve actuators?
Control valve actuator types
- Pneumatic control valve actuator. This type has a flexible diaphragm with pressure applied against the force of the actuator spring.
- Pneumatic control valve piston actuator.
- Electric control valve actuator.
- Electric-hydraulic control valve actuator.
- Hydraulic control valve actuator.
What are the types of actuator?
What Are Some Different Types of Actuators?
- Linear Actuators. Implied by their name, linear actuators are devices that produce movement within a straight path.
- Rotary Actuators.
- Hydraulic Actuators.
- Pneumatic Actuators.
- Electric Actuators.
- Thermal and Magnetic Actuators.
- Mechanical Actuators.
- Supercoiled Polymer Actuators.
What is torque limit switch?
The torque switch is used to shut off the motor at the end of the closing stroke. In the event of a limit switch malfunction or incorrect setting, some valves use a Torque switch as a safety device to prevent structural overloads.
What are the three types of actuators?
Is an actuator the same as a motor?
The term “Actuator” typically refers to a device that provides linear motion… like a piston, a rod is pushed in a linear manner when voltage is applied. A Motor is a device that provides rotational movement, like in a toy car, the motor spins a wheel usually through gears to reduce the speed and increase the torque.
