N8 Z2/22 Rotary and part-turn actuator
For Ex zones 2 and 22, the successful N series has been further developed to meet the European explosion protection standards. The actuators have the ATEX certificate number: EPS 19 ATEX 1 047 X.
For the ATEX actuator N8, an additional gear is mounted to increase the torque. The torque range increases from 180 Nm up to 500 Nm. A wide range of options makes this series the optimum solution in plant engineering.
The design of the housing made of die-cast aluminium and zinc in combination with a permanently lubricated steel gearbox with sintered bronze plain bearings allows the use in a wide temperature range and in a rough operating environment.
An electronic positioner (option) can simplify the integration of the rotary and part-turn actuator into the control of complex systems.
