  • What is a Rotary Electric Actuator and How Does it Operate on MultiTurn Valves
    The newest addition to Asahi/America 's Series 19 actuation product line is the MultiPack (R) rotary electric actuator. The Series 19 MultiPack (R) is specifically designed for multiturn and non-rising stem valves such as Asahi 's type-14 diaphragm and gate valves.
  • How Does an Electric Actuator Work?
    An electric actuator is a mechanical device used to convert electricity into kinetic energy in either a single linear or rotary motion. It automates damper or valve in order to increase process efficiency and complexity. Designs for electric actuators are based on the specific tasks they accomplish
  • When to Select an Electric or Pneumatic Rotary Actuator with Quarter Turn Valves
    Pneumatic and Electric Actuators each have advantages and disadvantages. The criteria in determining which is the best actuator includes the power source, on/off or modulating control valve function, media, hazard considerations, ambient temperature, environmental conditions, failure positon upon
  • The History of the Rotary Solenoid
    solenoid switching proved to be reliable and long lasting, with an operating life of up to fifty million cycles. It also proved to be very fast, which led to another application: Camera shutters. The controlled high-speed actuators remain useful in imaging applications. Rotary solenoids became a standard
  • How Electric Rotary Valve Actuators Can Optimize Ethanol/Gasoline Blending at Truck Terminals
    room for problems or inconsistencies. Getting the needed control begins with accurate, consistent and reliable valve actuation.
  • Smart Actuators - The Intelligent Choice
    Modern cars contain more than 130 motors to control everything from HVAC systems, coolant and refrigerant valves, headlights and seat adjustments to grille shutters, vehicle security and trunks. Most automotive actuators are comprised of an electric motor and gearbox assembly packaged in a housing
  • The 5 Best Industry Applications For Linear And Rotary Solenoids
    , which is then translated into linear or rotary motion. When the ferromagnetic actuator, or "plunger," slides "IN" and "OUT," this robotic motion is harnessed to either continuously hold a position or to operate as an ON-OFF pulse (latching). Through Johnson Electric's innovative engineering and design
  • Strengths & Limitations: Belt Drive vs. Ball Screw Actuators
    The challenge for mechanical automation systems in the past has been the successful conversion of rotational motion from electric or mechanical motors into useful forms of linear motion. A breakthrough in this regard, the conveyor belt system represented one of the first useful implementations
