This year benchmarks the 40th anniversary of AUMA-USA’s manufacturing and operations. In 1976, AUMA began manufacturing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 2004, due to company growth, AUMA-USA relocated to Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Serving such industries as oil & gas, petro-chemical, water and power, the company includes US locations in Canonsburg, PA, Houston, TX and Tustin, CA.
As well, the company is introducing two new products into the marketplace: SQEx quarter-turn actuators and FQM Fail Safe Units. The SQEx actuator includes 5 different models with torque ratings from 40 ft. – lbs. to 1,770 ft. – lbs. FQM Fail Safe Units make use of stored mechanical energy to open or close valves in case of emergency and ensure that plants remains in safe condition. Moreover, the FQM meets the requirements of safety related applications up to SIL 2/SIL 3. Both the SQEx and FQM follow AUMA’s unique modular design concept, with ease of specification, calibration, operation and maintenance.
