Advantages of an Electric Actuator
An electric actuator, also known as electro-mechanical actuator, is a motor that utilizes electrical energy to produce mechanical energy. These actuators find applicability in multiple applications and are demanded by many industrial users.
Few of the advantages of electric actuators are as follows:
Working of Valve With Actuators
Valves find usage in almost all industries. These critical invention play a significant role in guiding, controlling, regulating and directing the flow of assorted types of liquids, steam, gases, or other flowing materials. These are made from steel, iron, bronze or PVC. Also, can withstand high temperatures and pressure points. The different types available include sanitary, solenoid, ball, v-port, butterfly, plug, knife gate and many more. In some cases, the valve is also used to control the velocity. It can be applied in the system and can be controlled either manually or automatically. Vehicles, waste water treatment plants, dams, oil and gas refinery companies and many other are applications of valves.
For the administration of pressure control ans flow control in many applications where it is necessary that the actual value be same at the set point value, actuators are attached to the valve.
