Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses AUMA's electric multi-turn actuators designed for automating industrial and special valves with torque requirements up to 120,000 Nm. These actuators are part of AUMA's modular product portfolio, featuring the GHT gearbox type range, where 'HT' stands for 'High Torque'.
Specifications: The SA multi-turn actuators offer torque ranges between 10 Nm and 32,000 Nm. When combined with GHT worm gearboxes, the maximum output torque can reach up to 120,000 Nm. Specific combinations include SA 30.1 with GHT 500.3 for up to 50,000 Nm and SA 25.1 with GHT 320.3 for up to 32,000 Nm.
Applications: These actuators and gearboxes are suitable for open-close and modulating duties and are approved for use in explosive atmospheres. They are applicable in various sectors, including water management, power plants, and petrochemical industries.
Protection and Durability: The actuator/gearbox combinations feature high enclosure protection (IP68) and high corrosion protection (C5-I and C5-M), making them suitable for harsh environments with high salinity and pollution.
Explosion and Fire Protection: The products are certified by international bodies such as ATEX, IEC, and FM, and are available in fireproof versions that remain operable at temperatures up to 1,100 °C for 30 minutes.
Technical Data: The document provides detailed technical data for various GHT gearbox models, including output mounting flange, maximum output torque, total reduction ratio, and suitable multi-turn actuators.
Use Cases: Examples include automation of weir penstocks for water level control, coker valves in delayed coking systems, and damper automation in thermal power plants. The document emphasizes the adaptability of SA/GHT combinations for various valve types and conditions.
Design Features: GHT worm gearboxes are designed for low wear and long lifetime, with options for reversing versions. The mechanical interface to valves is standardized, and various output drive types are available to accommodate different valve requirements.
Control and Integration: Integral actuator controls are available with interfaces for DCS, supporting protocols like Profibus DP, Modbus RTU, and more. Advanced diagnostics enable preventive maintenance and integration into asset management systems.
Contact Information: AUMA Riester GmbH & Co. KG provides contact details and mentions their global presence in over 70 countries.

Offering the perfect actuator automating any valve – this is the milestone defined by AUMA. The new sizes of the GHT gearbox type range play a key role within AUMA's modular product portfolio. The abbreviation “HT” of the gearbox name GHT stands for “High Torque”. Wide application range SA multi-turn actuators and GHT gearboxes are available for both open-close and modulating duties and are also approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The combinations can thus be used in technical process plants of the most different sectors – from water management and power plant sector right...

SA/GHT combinations can be used for all valves requiring a rotary movement for automation, including gate valves, globe valves or special valves such as double block and bleed valves. No matter whether standard valve design or special valves are involved: there is no standard solution for valve automation. The valve requires the actuator to provide either torque or thrust at defined running speed via a certain period in compliance with the respective type of duty. On the other hand, the actuator has to be integrated into an existing distributed control system with various functional requirements....

AUTOMATION OF COKER VALVES DAMPER AUTOMATION Delayed coking systems transform the residual oil generated when refining crude oil and crack it into gas oil and petroleum coke. The heart of the plant is a coke drum with a height of more than 40 metres where the conversion processes take place at high temperatures. Once the process is finished, both ends of the drum have to be opened to discharge the coke. By using automated special valves, manual opening, which is both dangerous and time-consuming while requiring large numbers of personnel, becomes obsolete. Large dimension dampers in various designs...

GHT worm gearboxes The hardened and ground tooth flanks of the worm shaft combined with the worm wheel made of bronze ensure low wear and guarantee an exceptionally long lifetime of these gearboxes. The worm shaft with anti-friction bearing ensures high efficiency and prevents critical warming of the gearboxes for long operating times. Optimised housing design reduces weight and consequently the load to be borne by the valve. Housing parts are made of lamellar graphite cast iron (GJL). On request they are available in spherulitic graphite cast iron (GJS). As an option, the GHT is also available...
