AUMA AM/AC Actuator Controls RFQ Checklist
Procurement Guide / July 2026 / 7 min read / By Shengshi Engineering Team
Quick answer: An AUMA AM/AC actuator controls RFQ should include the actuator type, control unit family, full nameplate or commission number, wiring diagram, fieldbus or signal requirement, valve tag, duty and spare-parts scope. AM and AC controls are configuration-sensitive, so the control name alone is not enough for a reliable quotation.
Why AM/AC control details matter before sourcing
AUMA describes actuator controls as local control units that are adapted to the actuator, exchange operation commands and feedback signals with the DCS, and switch the actuator motor inside the device. AUMA also notes that AM and AC controls can be combined with SA and SQ actuator ranges. For procurement teams, this makes the RFQ dependent on the installed actuator, control version, wiring, communication and service scope.
JSSS Nova supports this sourcing path through the AUMA brand page, the Electric Actuators category, the AUMA SA/SAR spare-parts checklist and the RFQ form.
Information to send before an RFQ
- Full actuator nameplate photos, including actuator type, size and commission number if visible
- Control unit family and visible marking, such as AM, AC or AUMATIC-related identification
- Wiring diagram number, terminal photos and project I/O or fieldbus requirement
- Valve tag, valve type, duty, mounting position and operating environment
- Whether the request is for a complete replacement, electronic module, local controls, display, power unit, relay or fieldbus-related part
- Quantity, destination, project document requirement and target quotation timing
How to avoid a mismatched control-unit quote
Do not quote only from the words AM, AC or AUMATIC. Similar-looking AUMA actuators can use different control electronics, wiring diagrams, feedback options, fieldbus interfaces and spare-part assemblies. For maintenance work, send photos of the actuator nameplate, local control panel, terminal compartment, wiring diagram and any existing spare-part labels before asking for price.
If the request is part of a broader actuator replacement, compare this checklist with the AUMA SA/SAR spare-parts checklist, Rotork IQ3 RFQ checklist, Rotork vs AUMA electric actuator guide and obsolete industrial spare parts guide.
FAQ for AUMA AM/AC actuator controls procurement
Can JSSS Nova help quote AUMA AM or AC actuator control parts?
Yes. Send nameplate photos, actuator type, control marking, wiring diagram, terminal photos and the required spare-parts scope so the request can be checked before quotation.
Are AM and AC actuator controls interchangeable?
Do not assume interchangeability from the family name alone. The actuator range, wiring, feedback signals, communication interface and control options must be checked before replacement.
What if the nameplate is damaged or missing?
Send clear photos of the actuator body, local controls, terminal compartment, wiring diagram, valve tag and any project drawings. The team can identify what extra information is needed for an RFQ.
Should I request the wiring diagram with the quotation?
Yes, if the control unit is being replaced or integrated with a DCS. Include the existing wiring diagram number or photos so the sourcing review can consider compatibility risk.
Procurement tip: For AUMA AM/AC controls, collect the actuator nameplate, commission number, control marking, wiring diagram, terminal photos and spare-parts scope before requesting price. This reduces the risk of wrong electrical or communication options.
Need help checking an AUMA controls request?
Send actuator nameplate photos, AM/AC control markings, wiring diagrams, terminal photos and spare-parts requirements through the RFQ form. Shengshi engineers can review the configuration before preparing a sourcing response.
