A well proved principle of worm gearing is
used to reduce the motor speed to required
output speed of actuator. Self-locking feature
is achieved by worm gearing upto 90 output
rpm. Worm shaft and output shaft with worm
wheel run in ample sized bearings. The sliding
worm is positioned between two sets of
springs on worm shaft. The worm moves
axially in relation to thrust which is the
measure for torque. Via lever & gears the
Depending upon type of valve, the actuator
must be switched off at end positions by limit
switch or torque switch. For this purpose,
independent limit switching or torque
switching devices are provided in the switch
compartment. The switching devices are easily

Especially high starting torque is frequently
required to unseat valves from end positions.
The motors developed by Auma fulfil this
basic requirement.

Auma actuators are driven by special
combination of gears which are outside the

If required, output speed can be easily altered
by changing the gear pair and / or motor at
