FAQ: What Does an Actuator Do?
Categories: Butterfly Valves, Elektrogas, FAQs
Comments Off on FAQ: What Does an Actuator Do?
What does an actuator do? An actuator drives a valve, causing it to move toward the open or closed positions. Actuators are present in all automatic valves, and can take the form of a motor (servo, pneumatic, hydraulic, etc), a solenoid, or something else. With a manual valve, your hand is the actuator. Actuators operate Read More
