Valve Actuator

A valve actuator is a device used to control the opening and closing of a valve. It is typically powered by either an electric motor, pneumatic pressure, or hydraulic pressure. The actuator is connected to the valve stem, which is the part of the valve that is moved to open and close the valve. The actuator is responsible for controlling the valve stem and providing the necessary force to open and close the valve. Depending on the type of actuator, it can be operated manually, or it can be automated using a control system. Valve actuators are used in a variety of industries, such as water treatment, oil and gas, and manufacturing. They are essential components in the operation of any system that requires the precise control of fluid flow.
