About Agromatic
Agromatic Regelungstechnik GmbH is a manufacturer of electromechanical actuators headquartered in Oerlinghausen near Bielefeld. The company produces electric rotary, part-turn and linear actuators up to 500 Nm or 5,000 N of actuating force, explosion-proof ATEX and IECEx actuators for Zones 1, 2 and 22, as well as pneumatic part-turn actuators up to 10,000 Nm. Design is performed using IT/CAD systems, production using CAM/CNC technology at the single Oerlinghausen site; materials processed include zinc and aluminium die casting, permanent mould cast aluminium, steel, stainless steel and plastics. Every actuator is assembled by hand and tested in the in-house testing laboratory in endurance tests for mechanical and climatic durability. Customers are machine and plant builders from all industries, in particular HVAC engineering, combustion technology, plant engineering, and valve and fittings technology; deliveries are made worldwide. In addition, Agromatic offers custom solutions, actuator assembly including the valve, as well as repair and spare parts service.
