Actuation

The largest gearbox of AUMA’s new GHT multi-turn gearbox range can transmit up to 120,000 Nm to an industrial valve. While AUMA’s SA multi-turn actuators provide a maximum torque of 32,000 Nm, the torque range is virtually quadrupled when combining SA actuators with the new GHT gearboxes.

Smith Flow Control’s IML lock is a safety device that prevents injury or product loss in the food and beverage processing industries. Specifically designed to replace an actuator mounting kit, it locks the actuator in a desired position, both remotely and locally.

Armstrong International has expanded its line of pressure and temperature control products with the launch of Python 1500 series globe style control valve. New Python 1500 series control valves are two-way single seated globe valves that are ideally suited to deliver accurate and efficient control of most steam and liquid applications found in a variety of manufacturing and institutional environments.

Rotork’s innovative CVA electric control valve actuators are enabling the Sydney Water Corporation in Australia to control the pressure in the city’s water supply network with greatly increased response and accuracy.Water authorities need to control the supply pressure in their potable water pipeline networks throughout the day in response to user demand.

GEMÜ further expands its control valve range with the launch of Type GEMÜ 566 globe valve. The control mechanism of the GEMÜ 566 stainless steel globe valve is integrated into the valve body. In addition to a pneumatic actuator, there is also a manually operated version and a motorised version.
