Valve actuators mount on valves and, in response to a signal, move a valve to a desired position using an outside power source. Selecting the correct valve actuator will increase uptime, reduce ...

We were most interested in the six custom-made linear actuators, though. Aluminum extrusions form the frame holding BLDC motor, and guide the nut of a long ball screw. There are a bunch of 3D ...

The behind-the-scenes mechanism that locks and unlocks your vehicle’s doors with the push of a button is the power door-lock actuator. Mounted inside the door, it includes an electric motor ...

Areas to be covered are as follows: ISA96.01 – The basic requirements for terminology for valve actuators and their accessories. This standard provides a glossary of definitions commonly used in the ...

The mirror actuators on the James Webb Space Telescope are a perfect example of this extreme engineering, and to understand how they work a little better, [Zachary Tong] built a working model of ...

Actuators are the input and output devices that connect electronic, hydraulic or pneumatic control systems to their environment. They convert external forces or conditions, such as temperature ...

Pneumatic valve actuators adjust valve position by converting air pressure into linear or rotary motion. There are two main forms: the piston actuators and diaphragm actuators. Piston actuators are ...
