Fit & Forget and long-term cost of ownership

Principles

EL-O-Matic F Series are Designed according the “Fit and forget” Principles

One of the main design parameters in the development of EL-O-Matic F Series is the “Fit and Forget” principle. Fulfilling these requirements will make sure that the long-term cost of owner ship for the EL-O-Matic F Series actuator is reduced to a minimum.

  • Easy to install
  • Function faultlessly, the first time and every time.
  • Have a long working life

Easy installation is achieved by the implementation of user interfaces that comply to commonly used industry standards like ISO5211 for valve mounting interface and VDE/VDI3845 (NAMUR).

  • These standards are already in place for many decades
  • Most suppliers of valves and control components offer compatible interfaces.
  • Interchangeable drive inserts can eliminate the need for valve couplings and adapters.


This allows customers to select just the right components that fits their specific requirements at the lowest cost level.
Faultlessly functioning, the first time and every time is related to reliability of the product design. The F Series was designed to meet high reliability requirements like is formalized in the IEC standard IEC 61508-2 (Safety Integrity Levels). As such, the EL-O-Matic F Series are available with a SIL 3 rating approval from TÜV.

A long working life is achieved by making sure the mechanical cycle life and corrosion resistance level exceeds the average market needs.

  • F Series actuators exceed the cycle-life requirements of EN15714-3. Additionally, F Series actuators have been tested to over 1 million cycles under a typical valve loading and with proper maintenance.
  • The F Series components, treatments and finishes show no decline of actuator functions after 1,000 hours salt spray test. (C5 Medium)
  • This is achieved by excellence in engineering design and superb attention to material selection: durable aluminum pinion, anodized surface finish, standard powder coat paint and stainless steel treated external fasteners

The Fit & Forget design features of the EL-O-Matic F-Series assure a long, trouble free working life and reduce the long-term cost of ownership to a minimum.
