2. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

   The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator. Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually ...

3. Pneumatic actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_actuator

   valve with pneumatic diaphragm actuator and "smart" positioner which will also feed back to the controller the actual valve position Pneumatic rack and pinion actuators for valve controls of water pipes. A pneumatic actuator mainly consists of a piston or a diaphragm which develops the motive power. It keeps the air in the upper portion of the ...

4. Air-operated valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-operated_valve

   Modulating control valves each with 4-20mA I to P converter linked to pneumatic a valve positioner controlling a diaphragm actuator. An air-operated valve, also known as a pneumatic valve, is a type of power-operated pipe valve that uses air pressure to perform a function similar to a solenoid. As air pressure is increased, the compressed air ...

5. Control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

   Valve actuator – which moves the valve's modulating element, such as ball or butterfly. Valve positioner – which ensures the valve has reached the desired degree of opening. This overcomes the problems of friction and wear. Valve body – in which the modulating element, a plug, globe, ball or butterfly, is contained.

6. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

   Pneumatically-actuated globe valves and diaphragm valves are widely used for control purposes in many industries, although quarter-turn types such as (modified) ball and butterfly valves are also used. Control valves can also work with hydraulic actuators (also known as hydraulic pilots). These types of valves are also known as automatic ...

7. Actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

   Pneumatic actuator operating a valve through a rack-and-pinion mechanism. [7] A pneumatic actuator is similar to a hydraulic one but uses a gas (usually air) instead of a liquid. [8] [9] Compared to hydraulic actuators, pneumatic ones are less complicated because they do not need pipes for the return and recycling of the working fluid. On the ...
