About Electric Valve Actuators

Electric valve actuators mount on valves which, in response to a signal, automatically move to a desired position using an outside power source. Single-phase or three-phase AC or DC motors drive a combination of gears to generate the desired torque level. There are two basic types of electric valve actuators: rotary and linear. Each type of actuator uses special valves. Rotary electric valve actuators use ball, plug, and butterfly valves that rotate a quarter-turn or more from open to close. Linear electric valve actuators use gate, globe, diaphragm, pinch, and angle valves that feature a sliding stem that opens or closes the valve. Rotary electric valve actuators are used in the electric power industry, high-power switching gears, and packaging applications. Linear electric valve actuators are well-suited for operating in tight tolerances.


Products & Services Related to Electric Valve Actuators

Electrohydraulic Valve Actuators and Hydraulic Valve Actuators
Electrohydraulic valve actuators and hydraulic valve actuators convert fluid pressure supply pressure into motion.
Manual Valve Actuators
Manual valve actuators do not require an outside power source. They use a handwheel or lever to drive a series of gears whose ratio results in a higher output torque compared to the input (manual) torque.
Pneumatic Valve Actuators
Pneumatic valve actuators adjust valve position by converting air pressure into linear or rotary motion.
Valve Actuators
Valve actuators mount on valves and, in response to a signal, move a valve to a desired position using an outside power source.
