What are the Different Types of Valve Actuators Used in Industries
Whenever there is a need for valves in a process, the actuation of the valve also comes into play. Although in some cases, you can manually turn on/off the valve, in a large industrial setup it is impossible to do it manually. This is where actuators come into play.
There are different types of actuators used in the industries and according to the type of valve used and the precision of actuation required, the application differs.
So, in this blog post, we shall discuss the different types of industrial valve actuators and how they are operated.
Types of Actuators Used in Industries
Industrial Valve Actuators can be classified majorly into six different types. They are:
•Manual
•Electric
•Pneumatic
•Hydraulic
•Solenoid
•Hybrid
Among these, you can find manual actuators in all industries only in specific critical areas. But in many areas, you can find automated actuators...
