The main function of a valve actuator is to control the valves ON to Close or modulating the valve,and the motor operated valve actuator is one important kind of valve actuator,the main different between kind valve actuators is it drive by electric power.

What are the advantages of motor operated valves over pneumatic valves?

Good question Usually motor operated valve used in big pipe lines sizes which it is need strong torque and for ON/OFF condition not to control the process, We can use rather than M.O.V pneumatic ON/OFF valve with piston actuator (Double Acting) but in this case the accessories it will cost you more because you need to provide pneumatic amplifier and big actuator depend on the pipe size. That is why better to use M.O.V the motor will rotate the gears and the gears will rotate the valve with low cost. Contact me for more clarification if there is.


Which type of gate valve can be operated from a remote location?

A gate valve that can be operated from a remote location is typically a motorized or actuated gate valve. These valves are equipped with an electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuator that allows for remote control via a switch or control system. This capability is particularly useful in applications where the valve is located in hard-to-reach areas or where manual operation would be impractical.

What are variable valve actuators?

Dear Sir,does it mean "modulating duty",it means can control the valve by a singal. for more informaion,can refer to http://www.valve-actuator.org/Multi-turn-Valve-Actuator/118.html

What is the function of pneumatic valves?

If you are talking about a pneumatic solenoid valve the function of it is to control the air in and out flow in a pneumatic actuator.


What is the definition of pneumatic valve?

A valve which requires pressurised air to operate (open or close) is known as pneumatic valve. A valve has a valve base through which the media (could be be air, liquid, steam, gas...) flows and a actuator mounted on the base which helps operate the valve. This actuator could be of pneumatic type. (or elctrically operated motorised type)


How does a motor operated valve work?

A motor-operated valve (MOV) works by using an electric motor to open or close a valve, controlling the flow of fluids in a system. The motor is connected to the valve mechanism, typically via a gearbox, which translates the motor's rotational motion into linear movement to operate the valve. Control signals from a control system determine the motor's actions, allowing for precise and automated regulation of fluid flow. MOVs are commonly used in industrial applications for their reliability and efficiency in managing fluid systems.

What is a solenoid valve on a 97 Nissan Pathfiner?

A solenoid valve is a electromechanically operated valve that is controlled by an electric current. It essentially controls the cylinders and fluid power in the motor of your Nissan Pathfinder.


What is scv actuator?

An SCV actuator, or Stepper Control Valve actuator, is a device used in various automotive and industrial applications to control the flow of fluids by adjusting the position of a valve. It typically utilizes a stepper motor to provide precise control over the valve's opening and closing, allowing for improved performance and efficiency in systems like fuel injection and engine management. By regulating flow, the SCV actuator helps optimize engine performance, emissions, and fuel consumption.


What difference between mov and zv valve?

The main difference between a MOV (Motor Operated Valve) and a ZV (Zone Valve) lies in their intended applications and functions. MOVs are typically used in industrial settings to control the flow of fluids or gases by using an electric motor to actuate the valve. On the other hand, ZVs are commonly used in HVAC systems to control the flow of water or steam to different zones within a building. Additionally, MOVs are usually larger and more robust, while ZVs are smaller and more compact due to their different purposes and environments of use.


What is the importance of a valve actuator?

Valve actuator are important for installing certain pipes correctly. With out them you can be in for major pipe damage and thousands in repairs.
