Who is SAUTER and what does it make?

SAUTER is a Swiss manufacturer based in Basel, active since 1910, in building automation and HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) systems. Besides automation stations, controllers and sensors, the company makes the final control elements that act directly on the heat-transfer medium and the air: control valves with 2 and 3 ways, ball valves, tight-closing butterfly valves and actuators for valves and for ventilation dampers. This programme is relevant for systems where a control loop must be completed with a valve and an actuator matched in nominal pressure, diameter and control signal.

Flanged valves are made for nominal pressures PN 6, 16/10, 25/16 and 40, in 2-way (series VQD, VQE, VUD, VUE, VUG, VUS) and 3-way (BQD, BQE, BUD, BUE, BUG, BUS) versions, while the VUN and BUN series are valves with external thread, PN 16, alongside VUL (2-way) and BUL (3-way, for units), also PN 16. Control ball valves have their own series: VKR and VKRA with 2 ways, BKR and BKRA with 3 ways, all PN 40. For actuation there are valve actuators (AVM, AVF, AVN, with and without spring return), rotary actuators for ball valves (AKM, AKF), damper actuators (ASM, ASF, ADM), AVP pneumatic actuators, AXM and AXF actuators for unit valves and Smart Actuator versions, with IoT (Internet of Things) and BACnet/IP integration.

Such components are installed in office buildings, commercial and logistics premises, schools and public buildings, as well as in heating substations and industrial installations with hot or chilled water. The choice depends on pressure, diameter, medium, control signal and torque, which is why the quotation starts from the code on the existing valve or actuator.

VKR, VKRA, BKR, BKRA and VKAA, VKAI Ball Valves	PN 40 ball valves: VKR and VKRA for 2-way control, BKR and BKRA for 3-way control, and VKAA and VKAI for shut-off. The AKM and AKF rotary actuators are intended for ball valves.
AVM, AVF, AKM, AKF, ASM and ASF Actuators	AVM and AVF operate globe valves, with spring-return variants, AKM and AKF operate ball valves, and ASM and ASF operate ventilation dampers. The S variants have SAUTER universal technology (SUT), with positioner.

Why SAUTER?

2-way and 3-way valves for several nominal pressures — PN 6, 16, 25 and 40, flanged or threaded, with electric or pneumatic actuation
Control ball valves — VKR, VKRA, BKR and BKRA, PN 40, for circuits where the flow of the heat-transfer medium must be regulated or switched
Valve and damper actuators in the same programme — AVM, AVF, AKM, AKF, ASM, ASF, ADM, with spring-return and positioner variants
Smart Actuator variants — actuator for 2-way and 3-way valves and ventilation dampers, with IoT and BACnet/IP communication
Programmes for existing installations — AVM 322-R and AVM 322S-R retrofit actuators for replacing older drives

How do we supply SAUTER in Romania?

We can quote SAUTER control valves and actuators from the V and B series, VKR, BKR, AVM, AVF, AKM, ASM and Smart Actuator, brought in to order through EU supply channels. To order, usually 1–4 weeks, longer for special variants; 24–72 h only when the valve or actuator is available locally or at the supplier. For a correct quotation send us the full code from the valve or actuator, the diameter, PN, medium and temperature, the control signal (0–10 V, three-point, BACnet), the supply voltage and whether spring return is needed. For damper actuators add the torque required.

The match between a valve and an actuator is confirmed only on the full code of both, with the nominal pressure and the control signal; availability is established on request.

Frequently asked questions about SAUTER

What does SAUTER make?

SAUTER has made building automation products in Basel since 1910: controllers and automation stations, sensors, 2-way and 3-way control valves, ball valves, actuators for valves and ventilation dampers, plus Smart Actuator variants with IoT and BACnet/IP communication.

How do I choose a SAUTER valve and the matching actuator?

Start from the diameter, nominal pressure (PN 6, 16, 25 or 40), medium, temperature and flow. AVM and AVF actuators are for globe valves, and AKM and AKF for ball valves; compatibility is checked on the codes of both. Send us the valve code and the control signal.

Do you supply SAUTER products in Romania, and how quickly?

SAUTER valves and actuators are brought in to order, through EU supply channels; it usually takes 1–4 weeks. For special valve or actuator variants, depending on brand and specifications, the lead time may be longer, and 24–72 h applies only when the item is available locally or at the supplier. The exact lead time is confirmed in the quotation.

Can I replace an old SAUTER actuator with a current series?

There are retrofit actuators, for example AVM 322-R and AVM 322S-R. We check the old code, stroke, force, control signal, voltage and connection to the valve. We do not state a direct replacement before comparing these details; send the nameplate and the valve code.

What details should I send for a quotation on a SAUTER valve or actuator?

Send the full code from the valve or actuator, the diameter, PN, medium and temperature, the control signal (0–10 V, three-point, BACnet), the supply voltage and whether spring return is required. For dampers add the torque needed and the shaft size.

How do I request a SAUTER quotation?

Send the SAUTER code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
