What is a part-turn actuator?

A part-turn actuator is a type of electric actuator designed to control quarter-turn valves such as ball and butterfly valves. Part-turn actuators are used to rotate a valve through a limited range of motion, typically between 0° and 90°, to control the flow of a fluid or gas.

Part-turn actuators can be operated either manually or automatically, and they can be integrated with various control systems, including PLCs, SCADA systems, and DCSs, for centralized control and monitoring. They are commonly used in multiple industries, such as oil and gas, water treatment, power generation, chemical processing, etc.

Part-turn actuators are known for their high reliability, durability, and accuracy. They can be designed to meet specific requirements, such as explosion-proof or weatherproof enclosures, for use in harsh environments. They offer a wide range of torque outputs to suit different valve sizes and applications, and they can be configured with various control and feedback options to meet the specific needs of each application.
