Electric Actuators

Used in Industries such as - Oil and Gas, Industrial Automation, Chemical, and Petrochemical

  • Do not need a compressor or hydraulic supply – site-specific
  • Good for remote locations
  • Smooth controllable operation

Electric actuators are devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical motion. Electric actuators are used to control the position, speed, and torque of mechanical systems. They are commonly used in industrial machinery, process automation, valve control systems, robotics, medical equipment, and HVAC systems. Industries where precise and controlled motion is required. Electric actuators offer several advantages over their hydraulic and pneumatic counterparts, such as greater accuracy, easier control, and reduced maintenance requirements.

Electric actuator valves consist of various components, including an electric motor, a gear train or belt drive system, position sensors, and a control system. The electric motor provides the rotational force, which is then converted into linear or rotary motion by the gear train or belt drive system. There are different types of electric actuators available, including electric linear actuators and rotary actuators.

Our stock holding of Bernard Controls electric actuators and association with AUMA as an ACE Partner gives us a strong holding in the electric automation sector, the long-standing relationship with Dresser RCS and Asahi goes to further strengthen the product base.

What Is An Electric Actuator Valve?

An electric actuator is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical motion. It is used to control the position, speed, and torque of mechanical systems. Electric actuators typically consist of an electric motor, a gear train or belt drive system, position sensors, and a control system.

What Are Examples Of Electric Actuators?

Linear electric actuators: These actuators produce linear motion and are commonly used in applications such as industrial automation, robotics, and medical equipment. They are used to control the movement of slides, grippers, and other linear mechanisms.

Rotary electric actuators: These actuators produce rotational motion and are used in applications such as valve control systems, robotics, and automotive systems. They are used to control the movement of valves, rotating arms, and other rotary mechanisms.

Electric servo actuators: Servo actuators are electric actuators that incorporate a feedback mechanism to provide precise control over position, speed, and torque. They are commonly used in precision motion control applications, such as CNC machines and robotic arms.
