What is a Valve Actuator?
A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve.
Manually operated valves require someone in attendance to adjust them using a direct or geared mechanism attached to the valve stem.

What is the best Valve Actuator to buy?
The speed of operation required dictates the power requirements of the actuator. It takes more power to perform an operation
(such as fully opening or closing a valve) in less time, for instance. Pneumatic actuators have an advantage in that it’s easier to control their speed.
What to consider when buying a Valve Actuator?
When choosing an electric valve actuator, you’ll need to consider several factors. The torque requirements of the valve, the speed of operation, and the available power supply
are all crucial considerations. It is also important to consider the type of environment in which the valve will be used.
How long does Valve Actuator last?
I have seen many valves and actuators that continue to operate satisfactorily 20 years or more after their installation. Like all things that move, there will always be some wear and tear.
Our factory testing is typically 100,000 cycles or more but lifetime is completely dependent on the installed environment.
