What are the correct methods for selecting pneumatic actuators
-
When we need pneumatic actuators, we always choose the most suitable and cost-effective pneumatic actuators. Therefore, first of all, we need to understand the types of actuators, which can be divided into pneumatic actuators and electric actuators. The commonly used actuators are these two types, and we always choose pneumatic actuators when purchasing.
Then we need to select the actuator based on the size of the air source, and the torque required to rotate the valve is unclear. If the valve is too large, its lifespan will not be long. Generally, leaving a 30% margin for torque is sufficient.
Secondly, we will evaluate the installation platform and select actuators for each environment. There is a standard for actuators, and we need to find the corresponding standard based on the valve to avoid errors.
Listed as electric, electric with switch type. There are also passive contact types and adjustable types. We only need to control according to the size of the valve flow rate to choose the option.
