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. The GHT gearbox type range is highlighted for its role in AUMA's modular product portfolio, with "HT" standing for "High Torque."

Specifications
The SA multi-turn actuators offer torque ranges between 10 Nm and 32,000 Nm, which can be increased to 120,000 Nm when combined with a GHT worm gearbox. Specific combinations include:
  • SA 30.1 with GHT 500.3 for torques up to 50,000 Nm
  • SA 25.1 with GHT 320.3 for torques up to 32,000 Nm
  • SA 35.1 with GHT 1200.3 for torques up to 120,000 Nm

Applications
The actuators and gearboxes are suitable for open-close and modulating duties, approved for explosive atmospheres, and applicable in sectors like water management, power plants, and petrochemical industries.

Protection and Durability
The combinations offer high enclosure protection (IP68) and corrosion protection (C5-I and C5-M), making them suitable for harsh environments. They are available in a standard silver-grey color, with other options available.

Explosion Protection
These products are certified by international bodies, including ATEX, IEC, FM, and ROSTECHNADSOR/EAC, and are available in fireproof versions.

Technical Data
The document provides detailed technical data for various GHT models, including output mounting flange, maximum output torque, total reduction ratio, suitable multi-turn actuator, and output speed range.

Use Cases
Examples of applications include weir penstocks for water level control, automation of coker valves in delayed coking systems, and damper automation in thermal power plants.

Design Features
The GHT worm gearboxes are designed for low wear and long lifetime, with options for reversing versions. The mechanical interface to the valve is standardized, and various output drive types are available.

Control Options
Integral actuator controls are available with different interfaces for DCS, supporting various communication protocols like Profibus DP, Modbus RTU, and more. Advanced diagnostics enable preventive maintenance.

Conclusion
AUMA's actuators are configured for specific applications, offering solutions for a wide range of industrial valves, ensuring reliability even in high torque ranges.

ELECTRIC MULTI-TURN ACTUATORS-2

Offering the perfect actuator automating any valve – this is the milestone dened 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 through...

ELECTRIC MULTI-TURN ACTUATORS-4

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 de ned 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 rening 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 nished, 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...

DESIGN GHT worm gearboxes The hardened and ground tooth anks 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 effi ciency 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...

Integral actuator controls (option) Controls, in our example the microprocessor controlled AC, are available with different interfaces to the DCS – either for parallel signal transmission or eldbus communication. Probus DP, Modbus RTU, DeviceNet as well as Foundation Fieldbus are supported. DCS connection using HART or wireless HART is also possible. 2 Advanced diagnostic functions enable preventive maintenance and integration of actuators into asset management systems. The integral local controls allow for local actuator operation. Electric SA multi-turn actuator The torque of the electric motor...
