AUMA, which is based in Pennsylvania, has developed a new version of the AUMA SA multi-turn actuator, designed for continuous underwater use. The development aims to open up new applications for electric actuators in water supply systems, hydropower plants, civil engineering constructions for water applications, and specific offshore applications.
Where water supply or sewer pipes run underground, actuators and valves are often installed in pits below ground level. In places where high water levels are a permanent risk, actuators designed for underwater use will operate reliably even if flooding persists. A universal sealing system combined with comprehensive corrosion protection qualifies these actuators for underwater use.
