Over 300 Rotork K-TORK pneumatic vane actuators were installed at one of Florida’s largest low-pressure ultrafiltration (UF) membrane plants.

The Indelac Controls Safe & Secure Series of fail-safe electric actuators combines the durability of high-quality, American-made actuators with the reliability of an integrated power supply.

The JE Series of electric actuators from DynaQuip Controls delivers the latest technology at a great value. This series of smart actuators is multi-voltage capable with automatic voltage sensing for AC or DC power supply and can be configured for fail-safe battery backup or modulating functions as options.

Indelac Controls, Inc.'s M-series rotary electric actuator was designed for quarter turn valve and damper applications requiring up to 1500 lb·in (170 Nm) torque.

With no need for compressed air, early electric actuators could operate with less sound and less maintenance than the predominant pneumatic actuator.

“The sizing of actuators for on/off valves is an issue which needs more attention in the industry. One of the problems is that there is no international standard for testing and validation of torque data by valve manufacturers. These ‘paper’ data need to be supported by documentation that proves how these data are generated.”

Threaded fire safe fusible link ball valves: Fire-safe, fusible link ball valves are a great way to protect a valve line that is exposed to extreme heat.

Traditionally, valve actuation has been less well publicized and potentially construed as less important in the world of flow control than valves. But that is changing, and at an accelerating rate. This article will explore market drivers, significant developments and emerging trends that are behind this refining focus on valve automation.

Actuators and valves serve a wide range of applications across multiple industries and are both essential turnkey components of industrial automation.

Frost & Sullivan's latest analysis of the pneumatic valves and actuators market finds that Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) adoption is expected to increase significantly due to rising energy costs and end-user demand for lower product costs, improved operational efficiency, and increased machine uptime.
