In the Air actuated butterfly valve, it is important for the engaged engineers, designers, along with the manufacturers to completely understand the processes and aspect of using the product. This would eventually help in building an effective engineering design in a safer and efficient manner.
One of the most important products of such company is the actuator. To simply this technical term, an actuator is basically a device which helps in transforming or converting the energy into one motion. Even when applied as force, an actuator is actually a mechanical apparatus which takes in energy normally constructed by the liquids, air or electricity and then converts it in any specific kind of motion. The motion can relate to anything starting from clamping, blocking to even ejecting. These actuators are being put in use in the industrial applications or in manufacturing procedure and even in different objects such as switches, motors, valves and pumps.
There are many actuators available in the market. However, the most common type of actuator used is powered by air which is known as an air cylinder or pneumatic cylinder. This air cylinder is the airtight ones which are usually made up of metal. This makes use of the energy of compressed air which helps in moving the piston. In addition, the air cylinders are put in use in the assembly processes and in manufacturing working. On the other side, gripper which is used in the robotics, make use of the actuators which is powered by the compressed air which works in a similar fashion as the human touch.
Electricity is considered to be a good source of power for the actuators. A motorized valve actuator is the mechanism of both opening and then closing the valve with the use of an electric motor. Whether it is in a linear motion, rotary motion or oscillatory motion, actuators can be put in use if they could possibly create motion in one direction whether in circular or opposite one at the normal intervals.
Therefore, it is very important to look for a reliable source which manufacturers the valves and actuators.
