AUMA has developed a new cover for plug and socket connections for electric actuators and controls. The S-105 cover provides more space for cable gland/conduit assembly. Increased interior capacity makes cable connection easier and accommodates thicker cabling.
Based on AUMA’s modular actuator design philosophy, the cover – which is 15 mm higher than the company’s previous model – is fully compatible with its predecessor version, ensuring that early generation products can be incorporated.
As standard, AUMA actuators are equipped with a plug/socket connector for motor and control cables. AUMA reports that the significant advantage of this type of connection is that, once connected, wiring remains undisturbed, even if the actuator has to be removed from the valve, e.g. for maintenance purposes.
The new plug cover is designed for all AUMA weather-proof and explosion-proof actuators with or without controls
AUMA’s earlier model plug cover will continue to be supplied for a defined period.
