Continuous electrical actuators Contrac

Product catalog summary
Overview: ABB's Continuous Electrical Actuators, known as Contrac, are designed for the operation of dampers or valves in process automation. They offer high accuracy, long life, and low operating costs, with reliable frequency converter electronics suitable for field or rack installation. The actuators are configurable via a graphical user interface and adaptable to various Distributed Control Systems (DCS) using 20 mA, HART, or PROFIBUS-DP protocols.
Applications: The actuators are versatile and applicable in multiple industries, including power (conventional and nuclear power stations, district heating), metals (ore mining, steel converters), minerals (cement, glass, ceramics), water (treatment plants), and others like oil, food, and HVAC industries.
Strengths: Key features include continuous control for smooth operation, high positioning accuracy, simple commissioning, and integrated maintenance microprocessors. The actuators are stall-proof, requiring no position or torque-dependent switch-off, and are robust with oil-lubricated gearing for long life and minimal maintenance.
Technical Specifications: Part-turn actuators offer rated torque from 100 Nm to 16000 Nm, while linear actuators provide rated force from 4 kN to 200 kN. They are equipped with intelligent electronics for enhanced adaptability and diagnostics.
Communications: The DSV401 (SMART VISION®) engineering tool facilitates data exchange, configuration, diagnosis, and maintenance support. The actuators are compatible with common single-phase mains voltages (115 V AC, 230 V AC).
Product Variants: Various models are available for different installation needs, including integrated, field, and rack installations, with protection classes ranging from IP 20 to IP 66.
Company Information: ABB is a global leader in power and automation technologies, operating in around 100 countries with approximately 102,000 employees. The company is committed to continuous product improvement.
