The Altronic ActuCOM R8 represents the next step in on-engine, integrated speed control for operators of natural gas-fueled engines. While also suitable for service as an actuation device for a third-party engine governing control system or PLC, the ActuCOM R8 can be applied as a smart actuator for virtually any appropriate engine, compressor, or pump-related function currently managed by an alternative solution, including
wastegates, restrictors, and louver controls.
Housed in a robust, machined aluminum assembly, the ActuCOM R8 is built for long-term, reliable service in demanding
physical environments. It is designed as a convenient, drop-in replacement for a number of competitive, integrated gas engine
governor modules and associated wiring harnesses. In many cases, simply transferring the key parameters from the existing
controller to the ActuCOM R8 and plugging in the harness is often all that is required for the ActuCOM R8 to be properly
setup and commissioned for service. For new installations seeking a reduced level of maintenance and/or improved control,
the simple installation and configuration of the ActuCOM R8 is assured through the incorporation of a universal mounting
system, an integral splined shaft, a low power consumption requirement, and the included system Terminal Program.
