Pneumatic Quarter-Turn and Linear Valve Automation
Pneumatic actuators provide many uses for various process control applications in the industrial sector. Pneumatic actuators are efficient, safe and reliable motion control devices that convert energy from pressurized air or gas into linear motion.
These actuators are highly beneficial in applications that require valves to open and close repeatedly, notably when a system has many valves. In hazardous applications, pneumatic valves are excellent solutions where using electric valves instead of pneumatic would likely cause an ignition or create a fire hazard.
The experts at MSEC have years of combined experience with pneumatic valve automation. They boast a state-of-the-art valve automation shop, allowing them to build custom solutions and repair existing actuator devices. They stock an extensive selection of products from various brands, including Limitorque — one of the world’s most reputable actuator manufacturers.
Types of Pneumatic Valve Automation Products
Depending on the application, various pneumatic valve types play different roles in the process control industry. Actuators provide the power the valves need to open and close. Operations often use pneumatic valves to control and regulate fluid flow.
Types of valve actuators offered in this category include:
- Linear actuators: Linear actuators control valves in a straight-line motion. Compared to other designs, linear systems control fluids at a reduced rate but with greater levels of regulation. Linear actuators also work well for high-temperature and steam applications.
- Quarter-turn actuators: Quarter-turn actuators control valves that move in 90-degree turns, such as butterfly or ball valves. These systems typically feature rack and pinion designs and operate faster than linear actuators. Most quarter-turn actuators feature more durable and compact builds that produce added torque.
