Electric actuators for industrial valves - the key to effective automation
Electric actuators for industrial valves are key elements of modern automation systems. In our daily practice, we see a growing demand for these devices. They provide precise control of media flow in industrial installations. Their use significantly increases the efficiency of production processes. Automation of valve control reduces operating costs in the long term.
We offer a wide selection of electric actuators from renowned brands. In our assortment you will find products from Socla and Honeywell Home. Each of them is famous for its reliability and innovative technical solutions. Our experience allows us to advise on the optimal selection of devices. We take into account the specifics of a given industrial installation.
Types of Electric Actuators for Industrial Valves
We offer a variety of electric actuator types. We adapt them to specific customer needs. The most common types are:
- Linear actuators - ideal for globe and gate valves
- Rotary actuators - perfect for butterfly and ball valves
- Multi-turn actuators - used in valves with a rising stem
Electric drives for 32-80 mm and 125-150 mm dampers are particularly popular. They are used in many industries. They work well in both small plants and large production complexes.
Key parameters when selecting electric actuators
Selecting the right actuator requires taking into account many factors. In our experience, the key factors are:
- Torque or pressing force
- Speed of action
- Supply voltage
- IP protection class
- Control type (on/off, regulating, analog)
- Communication requirements (fieldbus protocols)
Proper selection of these parameters guarantees optimal operation of the entire system. Our specialists will be happy to help you choose the best solution. We take into account the specifics of a given industrial application.
In practice, we often encounter situations that require an individual approach. Recently, we faced a challenge with a project for a large chemical plant. The customer needed actuators resistant to aggressive environments. At that time, we selected special models with anti-corrosion coating. They ensured failure-free operation in difficult conditions.
Applications of electric actuators in various industries
Electric actuators for industrial valves are widely used. They are found in many sectors of the economy. They are most often used in:
- Chemical and petrochemical industry
- Energy and heating
- Sewage treatment plants and water treatment plants
- Food and pharmaceutical industry
- HVAC systems in large facilities
In each of these industries, electric actuators play a key role in ensuring process efficiency. For example, in power plants they control the flow of steam in turbines. In chemical plants they regulate the dosing of reagents. And in HVAC systems they optimize the distribution of air and heating media.
An interesting example is the use of actuators in modern vertical farms. There, they precisely control the irrigation and fertilization of plants. This makes it possible to achieve high yields with minimal water consumption.
In our daily practice, we observe a growing interest in intelligent actuators. They enable remote monitoring and diagnostics. This significantly simplifies maintenance and prevents unplanned downtime. Many of our customers appreciate this functionality, especially in large industrial installations.
Electric actuators for industrial valves are not just executive elements. These are intelligent devices that are becoming an integral part of automation systems. Their role in optimizing production processes cannot be overestimated. That is why choosing reliable and high-quality products is so important.
Our offer includes actuators adapted to various requirements. We provide comprehensive support at every stage of the project. From device selection, through assembly, to after-sales service.
