Product Details

Compact electric actuators with integrated controls and intelligent diagnostics, designed as a modular platform for tailored valve automation. Available in multi-turn (PROFOX-M), part-turn (PROFOX-Q) and linear (PROFOX-L) configurations for gate, butterfly, ball, plug and globe valves. Each unit features the FOX-EYE — a centrally located, configurable LED indicator providing real-time actuator and valve status at a glance. IIoT-ready with fieldbus connectivity and commissioning via the AUMA Assistant App. IECEx and ATEX certified explosion-proof variants available.
