Control Valve Actuators

Control Valve Actuators

 

Hydraulic, electric, and pneumatic control valve actuators direct the opening and closing of control valves. The type of actuator used for the purpose is dependent on the application. VL Motion Systems supplies a variety of advanced control valve actuators that have compact designs and high torque output, combined with efficiency and durability features.  

 

Electric Valve Actuators

 

The most common and trustworthy, electric valve actuators are chosen for their safe and quick operation capabilities. VL Motion Systems offers electric valve actuators that are physically protected from the harsh external conditions and can be supplied with explosion-proof and water-proof housing. In the case of power failure, manual operation is possible, much like the manual valve actuators. Quarter-turn electric valve actuators can also be assembled with an emergency power battery to prevent your operations from stalling.

 

Hydraulic Valve Actuators

 

Hydraulic valve actuators utilize hydraulic energy as a power source and are ideal in applications where electric power is not available. Simple in operation and reliable in performance, hydraulic valve actuators can withstand considerable production pressures. They are also versatile in producing a variety of torque ranges, which makes them suitable for a large variety of applications. VL Motion Systems features hydraulic valve actuators with compact design, simple settings, high performance factors, and low-friction operation.
