Valves, Piping & Process Components
Actuated valves & actuators
Product Description:
Actuated valves and actuators are used to enable automated control of fluid and gas flow within process, utility, and support systems. Actuators are mounted to valve bodies to provide controlled opening and closing, supporting process automation, sequencing, and interlocks.
Selection is based on valve type, required torque or thrust, response time, available utilities (air or power), and control architecture.

Operating pressure (pneumatic):
Typically 60–100 PSI instrument air
Power supply (electric):
Common industrial voltages (application dependent)
Materials of construction:
Aluminum or stainless steel actuator housings
Stainless steel valve bodies for sanitary service
Mounting standards:
ISO mounting interfaces
Design considerations:
Manual override capability
Fail-safe configurations (spring return)
