 AUMA actuators are used worldwide; in all climatic
zones, in industrial plants of all kinds under special local
ambient conditions. AUMA devices have to operate reliably
and for a long time under any conditions without requiring
major maintenance work.
For this reason, AUMA have focussed on making AUMA
devices resistant to the most unfavourable conditions and
have adapted protective measures to the state-of-the-art
technology.

Enclosure protection
Multi-turn actuator with mounted gearbox
SA multi-turn actuator and GS worm gearbox
combinations are supplied in enclosure protection IP 68-3
according to EN 60529. This means protection against
immersion up to 3 m head of water for max. 96 hours.
During continuous immersion, up to 10 operations are
permissible.
As an option, the combination is available with
portection against immersion up to 8 m head of water.
Gearbox mounted separately from multi-turn
actuator
GS worm gearboxes can be subjected to continuous
immersion without any time limit. Standard enclosure
protection is IP 68-3 and consequently immersible up to
3 m head of water.
As an option, gearboxes are available in enclosure
protection IP 68-20. If the gearbox is mounted separately
from the multi-turn actuator, e.g. for buried service, power
transmission between multi-turn actuator and gearbox is
performed via a shaft.
Depending on the application, the pointer cover for
valve display can be replaced by a protection cover.
Example of application with separately mounted
gearbox
Valve and GS worm gearboxes are installed into a pit.
The actuator is installed on a floor pedestal. All operation
elements - local controls and handwheel - are perfectly
accessible. Power is transmitted via a cardan shaft.
 Corrosion protection
Efficient corrosion protection is a major factor to
guarantee a long service life. The AUMA corrosion
protection system is based on double-layer coating. In
compliance with the corrosivity categories according to
EN ISO 12944-2, various AUMA corrosion protection levels
are provided to suit the different applications.
Colour
The standard colour is silver-grey (similar to RAL 7037).
Other colours are possible on request.
Gearboxes in size 160.3 and larger are equipped with
primer coating; factory finish coating is available as an
option.

Modular concept

AUMA's claim is to be able to offer automation

solutions to suit any valve. The product range [2]
consisting of sophisticated components forms the
basis for many combination options due to standardd
interfaces.

[1] SA .2 multi-turn actuators

They play a crucial role within the product
range. The speed range comprises 4 – 180 rpm, their
torque range covers 10 – 32,000 Nm.

[2] Integral controls

Actuators with integral controls AM or AC are
immediately ready for use. The integral controls [1]
contain switchgear units, power supply unit,
interface to the D0CS and the ability to process
control commands and actuator feedback signals.
The actuator can be operated on site via the local
controls.

[3] GS part-turn gearbox

The combination between GS part-turn gearboxx [4]
and SA multi-turn actuator results in a part-turn
actuator. Torque range between 500 Nm for GS 50.3 3
up to 675,000 Nm for GS 630.3. The multi-turn
actuator is generally mounted directly onto the
gearbox.

[4] LMS anti-backdrive device

To be used when self-locking is essential e.g.
for high speed actuators. The anti-backdrive device [3]
inhibits any valve displacement in case external [5]
forces act upon the closing element. This way, the
use of brake motors is not required.

[5] WSG/WGD limit switching devices

WSG or WGD are used for manually operated
valves. The devices signal the DCS that a valve
end position has been reached, or - as an option -
feedback on the valve position.

 [6] GS part-turn gearbox variants
Four variants enhance options for optimum
adaptation. This is due to the arrangement between
worm shaft and worm wheel and the direction
of rotation at output drive, with reference to a
clockwise rotating input shaft.

[7] SA/GS mounting positions
SA multi-turn actuators can be mounted to GS
gearboxes at four different positions. Multiplied
by the amount of gearbox variants, 16 mounting
positions are feasible, 8 of which differ by outer
dimensions. When indicating gearbox variants
(RR, RL, LR or LL) and mounting positions
(A, B, C, D), the positioning between actuator and
gearbox is completely described.
With reference to the illustrations, positions A
and C can be mounted to the valve shifted by 90°.
Consequently, the pointer cover of GS gearbox can
be mounted in alignment with the flow direction.
Please indicate the required mounting position
when placing the order. However, subsequent
modification can easily be performed on site.

[1] GS part-turn gearboxes
Size GS 200.3 with primary reduction gearing is
shown.
[2] Gearbox housing
The housing is made of cast iron. If extreme
loads from outside have to be considered, AUMA
recommend using spheroidal cast iron housings.
[3] Worm wheel and worm shaft
They form the core components of the gearbox.
The design allows high reduction within one gear
and has an important self-locking effect thus
preventing valve position displacement in case
external forces act upon the closing element.
As standard, the worm wheel is made of
spheroidal cast iron. Certain applications require the
use of bronze worm wheels, e.g. for modulating
duty, for high input speeds or for multi-turn
application without end stop (refer to page 14).
The worm shaft is designed as rotating either
counterclockwise or clockwise, depending whether
the rotary direction of the gear input shall be
maintained at gear output (RR and LR versions) or
vice versa (RL and LL versions).
10 |
[4] End stops
End stops limit swing angles and allow precise
approaching of end positions during manual
operation. For the AUMA design, the travelling
nut [a] travels between both end stops [b] during
operation. Advantages of this design:
■ The low input torques and not the high output
torques have an impact on the end stops
■ End stops are separate from gearbox housing.
Excessive input torques have no impact on the
housing. Even in the event of end stop break,
the main gearbox remains undamaged and can
still be operated.
A patented construction consisting of two safety
wedge discs [c] per end stop prevents travelling nut
seizure at mechanical stop. The unseating torque
required amounts to merely 60 % of the torque
previously applied to approach the end stop.

[10] Multi-turn actuator of SA type range
SA multi-turn actuators and GS part-turn
gearboxes are perfectly suited combinations with
regard to torques and output speed. Combined
they act as part-turn actuator. Mounting is
performed using standardised output drive types and
standardised flanges. The connection is secured with
four screws.

[11] Integral controls (option)
Actuators with integral controls AM or AC are
immediately ready for use. The integral controls
contain switchgear units, power supply unit,
interface to the DCS and the ability to process
control commands and actuator feedback signals.
The actuator is operated on site via local controls.
The electrical connection between integral
controls and actuator is made by using a quick
release plug/socket connector.

Microprocessor based controls with
comprehensive functionality and configurable
interface. A graphic display indicates the actuator
status in 33 different languages. When combined
with the electronic control unit, all settings can
be performed without opening the housing. The
programming via menu navigation is made directly at
the device or wireless via Bluetooth using the AUMA
ToolSuite.
AC controls are ideal for the challenging
actuator integration into complex control systems.

 Lifetime

Open-close duty Modulating duty

The lifetime is indicated in compliance with EN 15714-2
in number of cycles at a swing angle of 90°. One cycle
is considered as one operation OPEN - CLOSE - OPEN in
compliance with the load profile as defined in EN 15714-1
(please refer to page 14).
The indicated values are only valid for the gearboxes.
The scheduled device lifetime must be considered when
defining the suitable multi-turn actuator solution.
The values apply with and without primary reduction
gearing.
Bronze worm wheels are required for modulating duty.
The maximum number of starts is decisive for calculating
the lifetime. According to EN 15714-2, a start consists of
one movement of minimum 1 % in both directions at a
load of minimum 30 % of the nominal torque.
The maximum number of starts for all sizes - except
GS 630.3 - is:
■ 2.5 million

Certificates

Quality is not just a matter of trust

Actuators must be reliable and dependable. They
determine the cycle of precisely defined work processes.
Reliability does not begin during commissioning.
It commences with a well-thought design, careful
selection of material used and conscientious production
implementing state-of-the-art machinery. With clearly
controlled and supervised production steps we pay close
attention to the environment.
The importance of environmentally sound production is
reflected in our certifications according to ISO 9001 and
ISO 14001. However, quality management is no one-time
or static matter. It has to be proven day by day. Numerous
audits by our customers and independent institutes
confirm these high standards.

 EU Directives
Declaration of Incorporation in compliance with
the Machinery Directive and Declaration of
Conformity according to the Low Voltage and
EMC Directives
According to the Machinery Directive, AUMA actuators
and actuator controls are considered as partly completed
machinery. This means that a Declaration of Conformity in
accordance with this Directive will not be issued by AUMA.
AUMA’s Declaration of Incorporation confirms that during
the design stage of the devices, the fundamental safety
requirements stipulated in the Machinery Directive were
applied.
AUMA actuators fulfil the requirements of the Low
Voltage and EMC Directives. This has been proved in
extensive tests. Therefore, AUMA issue a Declaration of
Conformity.
The declarations of incorporation and conformity form
a joint certificate, also integrated within the operation
instructions.
According to the Low Voltage and EMC directives, the
devices are labelled with the CE mark.
Final inspection record
After assembly, all actuators are thoroughly tested
according to AUMA’s inspection specification and the
torque switches are calibrated. The procedure is recorded
on the final inspection record.
Certificates
Notified bodies perform type tests on the instruments
to determine whether the devices are suitable for specially
defined applications. One example are the tests to prove
electrical safety for the North American market. If a
device has passed the test, this is recorded in a certificate.
For all devices mentioned in this brochure, the relevant
certificates can be provided.
Where can I get the certificates?
All certificates and records are provided by AUMA on
request either as a hard or digital copy.
The documents can be downloaded from the AUMA
website at any time; some of them are password
protected.
