Electric Actuator - AQ Range | Bernard Controls

The Electric Actuator - AQ Range by Bernard Controls is a versatile and robust solution designed for a wide range of industrial applications. It offers a torque range from 50 to 10,000 Nm, with options available for up to 1,000,000 Nm upon request. The actuator features electromechanical switch controls and the advanced Smart LOGIC (v2) system, ensuring precise operation. It is classified for various duty and modulating applications, including On-Off (Class A), Inching/Positioning (Class B), and Modulating (Class III). The AQ Range is engineered for reliability and durability, with a compact design that includes integrated controls and a full aluminum enclosure with IP68 protection. It is suitable for extreme environments, operating in temperatures from -20°C to +70°C, with a low-temperature option down to -40°C. The actuator is multi-voltage compatible, supporting both AC and DC power sources, making it adaptable for global use. Ease of use is a key feature, with a large LCD display for straightforward commissioning and local command, a declutch-free manual override for quick on-site interventions, and the BC APP for mobile access to settings and documentation. The Smart LOGIC control offers a user-friendly, non-intrusive setup, compatible with common fieldbus protocols and Bluetooth communication for seamless integration and operation.
