What is an actuator operated ball valve?
A ball valve can be equipped with an actuator. In this case, the valve can be operated from a location other than its immediate vicinity.
The most typical actuator for ball valves is a rotary pneumatic actuator. It is either 2-position, where compressed air both closes and opens the valve, or 1-position (so-called spring-return), where on loss of pressure the actuator’s closing spring either opens or closes the valve.
Most rotary electric actuator models available on the market are also suitable for ball valves.
Selection of actuator operated ball valve
We assist in the selection and sizing of the appropriate ball valve-actuator combination according to the requirements of the application.
For all actuator options, limit and installation data is available and they can also be connected to a bus.
