For applications with significant hazard potential in the oil & gas sector and other industrial markets, fail safe actuators are required. These specialist devices automatically open and close valves in the event of emergency, even with disrupted power supply.

Water, dust, dirt particles and aggressive media often represent considerable challenges for linear actuators in process automation. Many components may not appear to have any immediate impairment of performance, but strengths and weaknesses soon become apparent in long-term operation.

Rotork has introduced its new IQT electric valve actuator. It brings the functionality and asset management capabilities of Rotork’s 3rd generation intelligent technology to the direct-drive operation of part-turn valves.

Building on the success of the Skilmatic SI range of actuators, Rotork has enhanced the specification by introducing the new SI 3rd generation, which includes an extended range of spring-return actuators with a torque ranges of 2,000 Nm to 20,000 Nm.

ASCO Numatics has introduced the Numatics 501 Series panel mount adapter plate. The new product brings the Numatics 501 Series directional valve’s high flow characteristics and compact size to pneumatic panel applications.

The Pennsylvania-based Pelletron has developed a new diverter valve with a 30-degree diversion angle. The valve has a smooth pass-through design that is ideal for pellet and granular applications to retrofit existing pneumatic conveying lines or for integration into new pneumatic conveying systems.

The company that produces components for the regulation and interception of fluids and gases, Bonomi, has introduced its New Valbia® Series 86 quarter-turn electric actuator which features a powder-coated aluminum body, steel and techno-polymer gears, hardened steel pinions and self-lubricating bushings for long, reliable service in heavy industrial settings.

The Market Research Store has released a new report entitled Global Hydraulic Valve Actuators Market 2015-2019. The new publication predicts that the market will grow at a CAGR of 4.85 percent during the period 2015 to 2019.

Flowserve Corporation, a provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, has announced the launch of the Limitorque Pneumatic Compact (LPC) Scotch yoke actuator. Complementary to the Limitorque Pneumatic Scotch yoke (LPS) model, the LPC applies similar design philosophy as the LPS for long operational life and reliability, but in a more compact, lower-cost package.

Micromatic offers rotary actuator designs in either pneumatic or hydraulic capabilities for a wide range of applications including two- and three-position actuators. Position actuators are ideal for parts handling, valve control and more.
