Motorised Valve Actuators

Motor operated valve actuators use electric motors to convert electricity in either linear or rotary motion to open, close, or adjust a corresponding ball or butterfly valves.

These electro-mechanical devices are quiet, non-toxic and an energy efficient alternative when compared to hydraulic and pneumatic valve actuation.

 Motorised valve actuators respond to prompts through remote control or centralised process control systems, which make them invaluable for managing systems that are hard to reach or spread across a large area. 

Actuators have different levels of power based on the torque they need to provide. It’s important to select actuators based on the breakaway torque a valve requires. The “breakaway torque” is how much power is needed to initiate the switch from a static open to a closed position or vice versa.
