Tag: electric valve actuator

The electric actuator is an important execution unit of the combined instrument of the electric unit. It consists of two completely independent components, the control circuit and the actuator, which can receive the electric control signal from the regulator and convert it linearly into a mechanical angle or linear displacement. It can be also used to control the adjustment of the damper, baffle, valve, and other mechanism for automatic control. In recent years, with the rapid development of electronic technology and control technology, electric actuators have also achieved rapid development. Because of the powerful functions of electric actuators, they are widely used in industrial production and are purchased and installed by more and more people. So what should we pay attention to when installing? Next, let's take a look together.

Most of the actuators used in industrial control applications today are pneumatic valve actuators, because the air source is used as power, which is more economical than electric and hydraulic, and the structure is simple, easy to master and maintain. From the point of view of maintenance, pneumatic actuators are easier to operate and calibrate than other types of actuators, and they can also be easily interchanged on the spot. Ideal for flammable and explosive environments when using positioners.
