Actuator is an operator mechanism that provides automation of the opening/closing process of the valve. It is mounted on the valve and connected to the valve body. There are different types of actuators and different uses of these types. Power driven actuators are basically divided into three.
Electric Actuator
Uses the electric motor to open and close the valve.
Pneumatic Actuator
Uses pneumatic systems operated by compressed air to open and close the valve.
Hydraulic Actuator
Uses hydraulic systems operated by pressurized fluid to open and close the valve.
Electric Actuator
Electric Actuators use an electric motor to open and close the valve. The drive force obtained by the electric motor ensures the circular movement of the gears within the body. Since the gear system is used, a constant torque rotation is provided from the beginning to the end of the opening/closing process. Electric actuators, which can be used with many different valves such as butterfly and ball valves, perform the valve open-close operation slower than pneumatic and hydraulic actuators due to the gear systems inside them.
Advantages of Electric Actuators
Electricity is available everywhere
Long life of the products
Precise control possibility
Wide operating voltage range
Wide maximum rotation angle tolerance
Quiet operation
1valve Electric Actuator
Operating Mode: 220V AC - 24V DC
Protection Class: IP 67 Body: Aluminum Injection
Pneumatic Actuator
Pneumatic Actuators are actuators operated by compressed air. Pneumatic actuators are preferred in most applications due to their light and durable structure.
