Short description
Part-turn actuator
AUMA part-turn actuators PF-Q80 – PF-Q600 are driven by an electric motor. For
control in motor operation and for processing the actuator signals, controls are
integrated within the housing. Push buttons allow for local actuator operation. A
handwheel is provided for occasional manual operation. Manual operation is possible
without change-over.
The swing angle is limited by internal end stops. Switching off in end positions may
be either by limit or torque seating.
The self-locking of the actuator is ensured by means of the braking function. As soon
as the actuator is at standstill, the motor takes over the brake function for the first
20 seconds. This period is defined through a parameter which can be set via
Bluetooth. After this, the locking brake takes over the brake function by disconnection
from power and renewed engagement. Brake engagement generates a clicking noise
and is part of the standard operational behaviour.
The actuator performs a torque measurement. The measured values can be read
by means of the AUMA Assistant App or AUMA CDT. Measured values are only
generated during motor operation. No measured value is generated during manual
operation. The last measured value remains frozen and is displayed. This is not the
case when starting from the torque seating end position. In this case, the value is
set to zero and also displayed as zero.

Information
Only smaller sizes without handwheel function are equipped with a manual drive
option via Allen key, located below the screw plug for manual emergency operation
[5].
App and software
Using the AUMA CDT software for Windows-based computers (notebooks or tablets)
and the AUMA Assistant App, actuator data can be uploaded and read, settings
can be modified and stored. The connection between computer and AUMA actuator
is established wireless via Bluetooth interface. With the AUMA Cloud, we provide
an interactive platform to collect and assess e.g. detailed device data of all actuators
within a plant.
