Electric actuator?is specifically designed for power-to-open and power-to-close functionality, maintaining the last known position in the event of a power loss. When a continuous voltage signal is applied, the actuator’s heavy-duty motor engages, driving a robust all-metal gear system to rotate the output drive exactly 90°. Internal cams activate limit switches to automatically stop the motor, ensuring precise control. Upon receiving a reversing signal, the motor rotates in the opposite direction, reversing the drive position.
This valve actuator is commonly used to automate quarter turn ball valves, butterfly valves, or dampers and is straightforward to install using its ISO5211 multi-flange mounting and double square drive. Its unique integral motor/housing design delivers higher torque output in a compact form, making it a space-efficient solution for high-power applications.

FAQ
What is an electric actuator?
An electric actuator is a device that uses electrical energy to control the movement of valves or dampers in industrial processes. It converts electrical signals into mechanical motion, allowing systems to operate automatically without manual intervention.
How does an electric actuator work?
Electric actuators use a motor to generate rotational or linear motion, depending on the application. For quarter-turn applications like ball or butterfly valves, the actuator rotates the valve stem 90° by driving its internal gear components. Signals from a control system tell the actuator to open, close, or modulate valve positions precisely.
What are the benefits of using electric actuators over other types?
Electric actuators offer several advantages:
– High precision and reliable control.
– Ease of integration with modern automation systems.
– Cleaner operation without the need for hydraulic fluids or air compressors.
– Low maintenance compared to pneumatic or hydraulic actuators.
– Energy-efficient functionality.
What applications are electric actuators best suited for?
Electric actuators are ideal for applications requiring precise control and automation. Common industries include:
– Chemical Processing – for accurate flow and pressure management.
– Water Treatment – for controlling valve operations in filtration and distribution systems.
– Oil and Gas – for safe handling of flow in pipelines.
– Power Generation – for managing turbines and cooling systems.
– HVAC Systems – for controlling dampers and airflow.
