Electric actuators for Profinet
AUMA's PROFOX actuators with
Profinet ensure future-proof plant
automation
UMA's PROFOX electric actuators are now available
with Profinet communication, making them a perfect
choice for high-precision valve control within Profinet networks.
With their innovative diagnostics and enhanced
connectivity, PROFOX actuators ensure future-proof plant
automation.
PROFOX actuators provide reliable, high-performance
valve automation for process applications of all
kinds. They also gather a multitude of diagnostic and
device data that can be easily used by the DCS or higher-level
systems, thanks to Profinet communication, enabling
plant operators to benefit from increased efficiency and optimised process control.
PROFOX actuators offer direct Profinet integration, without the need for gateways. MRP
AUMA's small and smart PROFOX
actuators can now be integrated
into Profinet networks.
media redundancy is available as standard, and S2 system redundancy as an option. An
integrated web server for testing and diagnostics as well as a field device integration (FDI)
package facilitate commissioning.
With the PROFOX platform including multi-turn, part-turn and linear actuators AUMA offers
versatile valve actuation solutions for the lower torque ranges. The compact PROFOX
actuators are ideal for tight spaces such as skid installations. Motor speed is adjustable,
ensuring fast and precise valve control. Operating costs are low, thanks to high mechanical
efficiency and low standby consumption.
PROFOX actuators are simple and easy to use, with rapid installation and commissioning
via an intuitive app. High-quality design and construction ensure long life even under the
toughest process conditions.

Stainless Steel Butterfly Valve
T
he Posi-flate butterfly valve with a highly polished
316 stainless steel housing and disc is suitable for
many applications, such as food, chemical and pharmaceutical.
The inflatable seat design of the Posi-flate
butterfly valve provides a better seal by utilizing air
pressure to expand the seat against the disc, providing
more sealing area and an even pressure distribution
against the disc every time. The seat automatically
compensates for wear when it inflates against the
disc, extending valve life considerably. Because the
Posi-flate disc only makes casual contact with the
seat during opening and closing, torque requirements
are substantially lower. This ease of movement also
allows the disc to come to a perfect 90-degree position
every time.
Additionally, the
smooth profile
of the disc helps
material flow
easier and reduces
build-up.
The Posi-flate
stainless steel
butterfly valve is
available in sizes
of 2 " (50mm) to
20 " (500mm).
