Motorized Control Valves - Essential Components for Automation of Fluid Systems
Motorized control valves are valves that use electric motors or pneumatic actuators to automatically open and close in response to control signals. The motorized actuator replaces the traditional handwheel and allows remote or automated control over flow and pressure regulation in fluid distribution systems.
Types of Motorized Valves
There are several common types of motorized control valves differentiated by their intended applications and mounting configurations:
Linear Valves
Linear valves are the most basic design with the actuator mounted directly on top of the Motorized Control Valves body. The actuator shaft moves linearly to open and close the valve plug or gate. These are commonly used for on/off applications or where space is limited.
Quarter-Turn Valves
Quarter-turn valves rotate 90 degrees between the open and closed positions. The motorized actuator is connected to the valve stem via a quarter-turn mounting bracket. They are well-suited for throttling applications where gradual flow modulation is required.
Insertion Valves
Insertion valves have compact designs allowing the entire valve assembly to be inserted directly into a pipe or vessel. The actuator housing does not protrude, making insertion valves ideal for applications with limited access.
