wheel run in ample sized bearings. The sliding
worm is positioned between two sets of
springs on worm shaft. The worm moves
axially in relation to thrust which is the
measure for torque. Via lever & gears the
torque is transmitted to control unit.

Switch Compartment

Depending upon type of valve, the actuator

must be switched off at end positions by limit
switch or torque switch. For this purpose,
independent limit switching or torque
switching devices are provided in the switch
compartment. The switching devices are easily
accessible for any setting at site.

Functions
Open Close Duty

The characteristic feature of this actuator is

open loop. The normal valve positions in
OPEN-CLOSE Duty are end positions OPEN
and CLOSED. After receiving command, the
actuator operates the valve to one of the end
positions or if necessary to a preset
intermediate position. The valves are operated
relatively seldom, the time intervals can span
between a few minutes to several months.

Auma multi-turn actuators type SA for open

close service are rated for short time duty
S2-15min.
Typical Characteristics of
OPEN-CLOSE DUTY

Regulating / Modulating Duty

The characteristic feature of this actuator is

closed loop in which input command signal to
actuator is directly influenced by the flow
through the valve. Regulating / Modulating
duty actuator SAR operates between two set
bands between open-close positions depending
upon actual valve position and feedback signal.
The motors of these actuators are rated for
intermittent duty S4-25%. The mechanical
components and motor are designed to withstand
a large number of operations required for

 Functions
Limit Switching

The limit switching enables to switch off the
actuator when reaching defined valve
position, usually end positions. The valve
travel is measured by mechanical counter gear
mechanism which when reaching the set
switching points operate the electrical limit
switches by cams. The setting accuracy is 1/10 of
a turn of actuator output shaft.
In limit switching, two train counter gear and
four train counter gear versions are available :

Two Train Counter Gear

For Two train counter gear, two limit switches,

one for each direction of travel having 1 NO
+ 1 NC or 2 NO + 2 NC contacts are provided.
The number of spindle turns can be set
between 1 and 480 or 1 and 4800.

Two Train Counter Gear

Four Train Counter Gear

If limit switching is required at two end The accuracy of setting is 1/10 of a turn of
positions only, two train counter gear is used. actuator output shaft. For four train counter
However, if two additional intermediate gear, 4 limit switches of 1 NO + 1 NC or 2 NO
switching positions are desired, Four Train + 2 NC contacts are provided.
Counter Gear is required. This limit switching
has 4 counter gears and 4 micro switches. Two
counter gears are used to switch off at end
positions as in Two Train Counter Gear. The
other two are available for setting any desired
intermediate positions between end positions.
After cam actuation, the switches remain
actuated till reaching end of valve travel.
Examples of such application are :

Functions
Torque Switching

The torque switching enables to switch off the

actuator when pre-determined torque is
reached instead of a defined position. The
torque switching works on principle of sliding
worm.

Axial displacement of worm proportional to

thrust is transmitted to torque switches.
Torque switches operate in closing & opening
directions. The required tripping torque can be
easily set on the graduated dial. If limit switch
cut off is selected prior to torque switch, then
torque switch serves as overload protection.

For tight seating of certain valves, the actuator Torque Switching

must be operated to end position CLOSED
with defined force. Such operation can be
carried out by torque seating. Limit seating is
commonly used in the end position OPEN.
When torque seating is used at end position,
limit switches can be used for signalization.
Therefore actuator controls can differentiate
whether actuator was switched off by torque
switch or by limit switch. Micro switches of
torque switching are provided with 1 NO + 1 NC
or 2 NO + 2 NC contacts for both open & close
directions.

Running Indication

Blinker switch is provided in the actuator and

can be used as running indicator.

10
 Control Equipment
Micro Switches

With the help of micro switches, mechanical
parameters such as travel & torque are
converted into electrical signals for actuator
control. There are four switches in the basic
version :
One limit switch each for the end
positions OPEN and CLOSE
One torque switch each for the
directions OPEN and CLOSE.
Limit switches are tripped when an end position
is reached and torque switches are tripped when
the set tripping torque is exceeded.
The micro switches are sealed to enclosure
protection class IP66, as per IS 13947. The micro
switches have double break change over
potential free contacts. The circuit is interrupted
simultaneously at two points. The basic versions
of the switch contacts are of silver. For low
current ratings, micro switches with gold plated
contacts are available.

Position Indicators

Mechanical Position Indicator

The position of the valve is indicated

continuously by adjustable discs having
symbols for OPEN and CLOSE. The discs can
be seen through an indicator glass on switch
compartment cover. The open-close discs can
be set to coincide with limit switching. The
mechanical position indicator requires
reduction gear unit for operation.

Remote Position Indicator Mechanical Position Indicator

The position of the valve can be transmitted as
a continuous signal for remote indication. A
potentiometer mounted on RGU is used for
this purpose. A power supply unit provides
necessary voltage to the potentiometer. The
o
potentiometer rotates through 270 for one full
stroke of valve & output signal from
potentiometer is proportional to valve travel.
Thus the actual position of the valve can be
read off continuously on position meter
calibrated & mounted on control panel.

Manual Operation

For commissioning or in an emergency when

there is no power supply, actuator can be
operated by hand wheel. The manual drive is
engaged by means of a lever. When motor
starts running, the manual drive gets
disengaged immediately & hand wheel does
not rotate during power operation.

In manual operation, hammer blow can be

effected with hand wheel. The hammer blow
makes it possible to open a jammed or rarely
operated valve.

Control Equipment
Motors

As a standard, Auma multi turn actuators are Single Phase AC Motors

equipped with 3 phase induction motors.
Auma motors are class F insulated and
withstand winding temperature upto 140o C.
The motors are used for short time duty (S2-15
min or S4-25% as per IS 12824) and provide
approximately three times rated torque for
short duration. The size of the motor is smaller
compared to continuous duty motor S1 of
same output power. This results in reduced
inertia of the rotor and therefore less
overshoot after switching off of motor. Auma
motors are designed for enclosure protection
class IP 68 when mounted on the actuator. All
motor cables are brought to terminal
compartment cover from inside of the actuator
thus avoiding terminal box.
Auma actuators can be supplied with single
phase AC motor. The required capacitor is fitted
in the terminal compartment cover.
DC Motors
Auma actuators are also available with DC
motors. These motors operate on 24 V, 110 V or
220 V DC supply.
AC Motors with Other Voltages and
Frequency
Three phase induction motors are available in
wide range of operating voltages from 220 V to
560 V and operating frequency of 50 or 60 Hz.

be switched on once again. PTC thermistors
can also be provided for motor protection.

Output Speeds

With large range of available output speeds,
almost every required operating time can be
achieved with Auma actuators.
The actuator output speed is determined by
the motor speed, change gears and reduction
gear ratio of worm / worm wheel.
The output speeds are available from 4 - 180
rpm in geometric progression of 1: 1.4.
During trial run, if found necessary, the
output speed can be easily changed by
exchanging the change wheels and or motor at
site. The grease filled housing need not be
opened for this purpose. The torque switch
setting & limit switch setting remains the same.
For actuators with output drive A (Stem nut),
max. permissible stem velocity must be
observed:
- for gate valves max. 500 mm/min
- for globe valves max. 250 mm/min
For higher velocities it is recommended to use
spring loaded stem nut type AF (special design).

double start worm drive. After torque switch is separate locking arrangement must be provided.
tripped, the sliding worm may move back to
initial position by the action of torque
measuring springs. This allows torque switch
to be released. If control system provides
continuous signal, this results in hunting of
motor. This can be avoided by the use of
auxiliary relay.

Actuators for Regulating Duty
Description of Regulating Duty
Auma actuators of type SAR are suitable for
Regulating duty / Modulating duty. SAR
actuator operates between two set bands in
closed loop and the motor is started, stopped
& reversed at short intervals to correct the
deviation from the set value. SAR actuators
differ from SA actuators in several respects :
- 4 pole motors are used to reduce overshoot
- Worm with high quality finish on flanks for
better efficiency
- Disc springs on worm shaft are pre
compressed to reduce dead band when
reversing.
While selecting Auma actuators for regulating
duty applications, following points should be
noted :

Electronic Positioner CU01

The electronic positioner CU01 is designed as a
three level positioner for regulating of actuator.
By comparing two input signals (reference
signal W & regulating signal X), the positioner
determines the difference. In case this exceeds a
certain value, the actuator is switched on by
relays. The direction of rotation (opening or
closing) depends upon the plus or minus sign of
the deviation. Thus the regulating signal
generated by potentiometer or LVDT changes &
when the regulating signal & reference signal
become equal, the actuator stops as long as no
new correction is required.

 Actuator Types
Auma Norm Actuators

This actuator offers a complete actuator type SA

with electric motor, torque switch for open -
close direction, limit switches for both end
positions & blinker switch for running
indication. The required reversing contactor
should be installed separately & wired to the
motor. For signalization of the switching and to
trip the contactors over micro switches, control
wires are required from actuator terminal
compartment cover to reversing contactor
installed separately.

Auma Integral Starter Actuators

The purpose of offering Integral motor controls
for the actuator is to enable the customer to save
high installation costs for external controls.
Actuators with integral controls include control
& switching elements and are supplied
ready for use.
All electrical components such as limit, torque,
thermo switches, all monitoring elements &
position transmitter are integrated into modern
controls.This results in following simplification.
- No extensive wiring in the external control
cabinet
- Several actuators can be connected to common
supply cable using isolating switch for each
actuator.
- Actuator signals are processed in the controls,
only feed back to process control system is
necessary.
- Integral starter housing can be easily
exchanged due to multi pin plug connector
between actuator & integral starter unit.
- Actuator can be operated from Local or
Remote position by means of selector switch
on the integral starter unit.
