Electric Actuated Ball Valve
Electric actuated ball valves, also known as motorized ball valves or rotary ball valves, are the most popular choice for ball valve automation. These products use an electric motor to operate the ball valve and control the flow of media.
Electric refers to the use of voltage to power the actuator.
When we talk about actuators we talk about the component that is used to automate control of the ball valve. This uses voltage to power the valve on/off.
A ball valve is a quarter-turn on/off valve that controls the flow of liquid or gas media via a pivoting ball.
Good Supplier electric actuated ball valves provide complete on/off isolation. The actuator and valve combination offer long and high cycle life.
The ball valves are made to the highest standard and are offered in many sizes, materials, end connections specifications, and approvals.
Fitted on to quarter-turn electric rotary actuator, which is supplied with many standard features, these valves can be accessorized to suit any of your control requirements.
Features and Benefits
There are two main types of electric actuated ball valve:
⦿ Electrically actuated 2-way ball valves;
⦿ Electrically actuated 3-way ball valves;
Electrically actuated 2-way ball valves are a simple solution for many basic on/off applications. They rotate 90 degrees (quarter-turn) from fully open to fully closed. While they typically operate more slowly than valves with an air-operated pneumatic actuator, it is often the case that electricity is available and compressed air is not.
The 3-way electric ball valves offer a simple solution for diverting applications like a bypass line or input or output line selectors. These electronic actuated ball valves help in the automation of process control valves. Each is designed to allow easy in-line maintenance and can be wired in parallel.
You’ll find electric actuated ball valves at work in the following industries:
⦿ Foodservice equipment;
⦿ Vehicle wash systems;
⦿ Irrigation;
⦿ Manufacturing facilities;
⦿ Water treatment equipment;
Electric ball valves come in many different materials.
For example, brass valves offer malleability and corrosion resistance, with added durability. They are stronger and harder than copper, yet more malleable than steel and iron, allowing them to resist cracking. They can withstand extremely high temperatures, and will not rust.
Lightweight and easy to install, the plastic electric actuated ball valves are designed for the automation of process control valves. Select from models with PVC, CPVC, and polypropylene construction. Plastic valves are resistant to corrosion.
The mechanism of electric actuators may vary from one type to the next but there are three basic components to its operation: an electrical signal, a power supply, and a moving mechanical shaft.
The motor of an electric actuator can operate on any voltage and is used across many different industries. The most common voltages used in single-phase motors are: 115 VAC, 24 VAC, 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 208 VAC, 230 VAC.
In addition to these options, three-phase motors also use voltages of 230 VAC and 460 VAC.
An actuator’s brake is mounted on top of the motor. It’s responsible for stopping the media from forcing the valve open when it should be closed by locking the motor rotor in position when not in use.Designed to allow easy, in-line maintenance, stainless steel valves can be wired in parallel and used for the automation of process control valves. These electric actuated ball valves are more malleable than carbon steel and are very resistant to rust and corrosion.
Designed for the automation of process control valves, bronze valves help provide accurate alignment and can be wired in parallel. These electronically actuated ball valves are generally harder than brass and can resist corrosion and metal fatigue better than steel.
