Things to note when selecting pneumatic valve actuators

2025-03-28

When selecting pneumatic valve actuators, several key factors need to be considered:

Output torque and force: It is essential to accurately calculate the torque or force required to operate the valve. This depends on the valve type, size, and the pressure and medium of the pipeline. The selected actuator should provide sufficient output to ensure the valve can open and close smoothly and reliably under various working conditions.

Actuator type: Pneumatic actuators include double - acting and single - acting types. Double - acting actuators are suitable for applications that require rapid response and precise control in both directions. Single - acting actuators, with spring return, are often chosen for applications where fail - safe operation is crucial.

Environmental conditions: Consider the temperature, humidity, and corrosiveness of the working environment. In high - temperature environments, select heat - resistant materials. In corrosive environments, choose actuators with corrosion - resistant coatings or materials.

Control requirements: Determine whether the actuator needs to achieve proportional control, on - off control, or other specific control modes. Also, consider the response time and control accuracy requirements to ensure the actuator can meet the process control needs.

Air supply requirements: Check the required air pressure and flow rate of the actuator. Ensure that the air supply system can provide sufficient air volume and pressure to ensure the normal operation of the actuator.
