Motorised valves, also called electric actuators or motor-controlled valves (MOVs), use an electric motor to open, close, or partially open a valve, managing the flow of liquids, gases, or other fluids. They offer automated control over manual valves, which makes them perfect for remote operation, automated systems, and precise flow regulation.
How Do Motorised Valves Function?
Electric motors provide the rotational force required to operate the valve. The gear train reduces the motor's speed and increases its torque, offering the necessary force to open or close the valve. The motor and gear train are linked to the valve stem or actuator, which causes the valve to move its internal components (e.g., ball, gate, butterfly) to adjust the flow. The motor is controlled by electrical signals, which can be simple on/off signals or more complex signals for specific positioning.
Salient Features and Benefits of Using Our Top-line Motorised Valves
- Allows for remote or automated control of fluid flow.
- Can be used for smooth flow regulation and modulation.
- Can be operated from a remote spot, which is helpful for hard-to-reach or hazardous areas.
- Automates processes and minimises the need for manual intervention.
- Can be utilised to automatically shut-off flow under emergency conditions.
Explore Our Innovative Range of Motorised Valves
- On/Off Valves: These valves are either fully open or fully closed, offering simple on/off to regulate the flow.
- Modulating Valves: These valves can be placed at any point between fully open and fully closed, enabling precise flow regulation.
- Rotary Valves: These valves use a rotating component (e.g., ball, butterfly) to control flow.
- Linear Valves: These valves use a linear movement of a stem or actuator to manage the flow (e.g., gate, globe).
Usage Information of Motorised Valves
- HVAC: Regulating the flow of water or air in HVAC systems.
- Water Treatment: Controlling the flow of water and chemicals in water treatment plants.
- Oil & Gas: Managing the flow of oil and gas in pipelines and refineries.
- Industrial Automation: Controls various processes in manufacturing and other industrial applications.
- Irrigation: Managing water flow in irrigation systems.
Overall
A motorised valve is an essential component for ensuring automated fluid control in various applications across various industries. Their ability to provide remote operation, precise control, and increased efficiency makes them an integral part of many modern systems.
