AUMA has released a brochure that provides over 30 pages of technical information for developers of steel constructions for water systems, such as weirs and sluices. The latest AUMA reference material is designed to assist planning engineers and plant operators responsible for systems in the hydraulic steel industry. A particular specialism in actuator sizing and fitting is confirmed. AUMA’s actuation technology provides tailored solutions to meet the technical specifications of weir and sluice applications including corrosion protection, motor duty types, locking/braking systems, brackets and failure behaviour. The modular actuator manufacturer reports that steel constructions for water systems have to maintain their functionality under extreme conditions such as ice loads or hundred year floods to prevent damage to people, animals and assets. AUMA advises that actuators are key components to guarantee the required performance levels. The new brochure entitled “Actuator solutions in steel constructions for water systems” can be downloaded on the AUMA Web site at www.auma.com.
