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.

Potentiometers

Potentiometers

Potentiometers are favourably priced, robust angle encoders for actuators. Several different versions are available to choose from:

  • Conductive plastic potentiometers (standard) or wire-wound potentiometers (on request)
  • Single-turn or multiturn potentiometers
  • Single or tandem potentiometers
  • Potentiometers approved for gas/air ratio control systems to DIN EN 12067-2:2004-06
  • Custom potentiometers (resistance value, angle of rotation and so forth) on request

Depending on the actuator model and its configuration it is possible to fit up to three potentiometers.
To obtain highly accurate evaluation results the resolution of the maximum angle of rotation of rotary and part-turn actuators is set to the electrical angle of rotation of the potentiometer. Other resolutions are available on request.
The resolution of the maximum linear regulating distance of linear actuators is set to the electric angle of rotation of the potentiometer.
