  • Rotork Pneumatic Actuators Installed on Canadian Well Pads
    Over 80 Rotork CP, GP and RC200 pneumatic actuators have been installed on well pads in Alberta, Canada where they will be part of an in situ steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) oil sand extraction project. SAGD technology is used to extract bitumen oil from 800 metres below the surface
  • Electronic or Pneumatic Actuation? Advantages of Belimo Electronic Direct Coupled Actuators (.pdf)
    In 1975, when BELIMO was established, pneumatic actuators accounted for 50% of the actuators used in Europe. Today, 95% of those installed are electronic and, in Japan, 80%. BELIMO electronic has over 60% marketshare in both Europe and Japan. Recognition of the cost/benefit ratio of high quality
  • Pneumatic Actuators vs Electric Actuators: Which is Better?
    Pneumatic linear actuators and electric linear actuators are often compared for linear motion requirements that do not require the high forces of hydraulic linear actuators. Here are 15 factors that should be considered.
  • Emergency Isolation for Pneumatic Actuated Control Valves
    Now any pneumatic control system can be designed to automatically shutdown in a local fi re or excess heat situation. The FireChek (R) can be installed on most fail-safe standard pneumatically operated process control valve actuator, either on/off or throttling. The enhanced FireChek assembly
  • Electric vs. Pneumatic Actuators. To every application, turn, turn
    Once the choice to automate has been made, it's time to look a bit closer at the application to determine which type of actuator. The two most common types of actuators are pneumatic and electric. Both have a wide range of torque output and can be electronically controlled in many environments
  • K-TORK Pneumatic Actuators used in Biggest Planned Ultrafiltration Retrofit in US History
    Over 300 Rotork K-TORK pneumatic vane actuators have been installed at one of Florida's largest low-pressure ultrafiltration (UF) membrane plants.
  • The World of Actuation is Turning Electromechanical
    When it comes to linear actuators, electromechanical devices are becoming the option of choice over their pneumatic cousins due to their speed, precision, and size. Over recent years, demands have grown louder from factory and company managers to use more electric rod-style actuators and fewer
  • What are the Main Types of Linear Actuators?
    There are three types of Linear Actuators used in manufacturing: Hydraulic, Pneumatic, and Electro-Mechanical. Hydraulic actuators are primarily used for moving very heavy loads, in the same way, that large construction equipment often operates off of hydraulic pressure. Pneumatic actuators
