It has the advantages of simple structure, good sealing, and long service life, and is an indispensable key equipment in industrial automation control systems. This article will start with industrial electric valves and introduce the actuators of industrial electric ball valves in detail.

 


What is a mtd industrial electric valve actuator? 

MTD industrial electric valve actuator refers to the control and adjustment of the fluid medium in industrial production by controlling the switch state of the valve through electric actuators (such as motors, reducers, travel switches, control systems, etc.).

 

According to different types and structures of valves, industrial electric valve actuators can be divided into the following types:

 

Ball valve: Ball valve is a common valve type with simple structure, good sealing performance and long service life. It is widely used in chemical industry, petroleum, electric power and other fields. The switch control of the electric actuator of the ball valve usually adopts a 90-degree rotation method, and the ball is driven to rotate through the electric actuator, so as to realize the opening and closing control of the valve.

 

Butterfly valve: Butterfly valve is a type of valve with simple structure, small size, light weight and good corrosion resistance, which is widely used in automatic control systems. Butterfly valve electric actuators usually adopt the method of rotation and tilting, and the valve disc is driven to rotate and tilt through the electric actuator, so as to realize the opening and closing control of the valve.

Two-way electric valve: Two-way electric valve is a valve used to control the diversion and confluence of fluid medium between two pipelines. Its structure is generally linear or quarter-stroke, and usually consists of two channels and a valve disc. The disc of the two-way electric valve moves up and down through the electric actuator, so as to realize the opening and closing control of the valve.

Three-way electric valve: Three-way electric valve is a valve used to control the diversion and confluence of fluid media between different pipelines. Its structure is generally T-shaped or Y-shaped, and usually consists of two exits and one entrance. The disc of the three-way electric valve is rotated by the electric actuator to realize the opening and closing control of the valve.

In addition, according to the requirements of valve material, working temperature and pressure, industrial electric valve actuators can also be divided into stainless steel electric valve actuators, cast iron electric valve actuators, copper electric valve actuators, high temperature electric valve actuators and other types.

An electric valve is a type of valve that operates using an electric actuator. Electric valves are widely used in industrial automation to control the flow of liquids or gases in a variety of applications. Among the different types of electric valves available, the electric ball valve is one of the most popular and versatile ones.

Electric ball valves consist of a ball with a hole in the middle that rotates within a valve body to control the flow of fluid. When the ball is rotated 90 degrees, the hole aligns with the valve body's inlet and outlet, allowing the fluid to flow through the valve. When the ball is rotated 90 degrees in the opposite direction, the hole is perpendicular to the inlet and outlet, blocking the flow of fluid.

 


How a electric ball valve works in industrial automatic equipment?

In industrial automation, electric ball valves are often used in applications that require precise control over the flow rate, pressure, and temperature of fluids. Some examples include chemical processing, water treatment, HVAC systems, and oil and gas refineries. Electric ball valves can be made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel, brass, and PVC, to suit different environments and applications.

One of the main advantages of electric ball valves is their ability to operate automatically, which reduces the need for manual intervention and increases efficiency. An electric actuator is used to rotate the ball inside the valve body, allowing the valve to open or close in response to signals from a control system. The actuator can be controlled using different types of signals, such as a 4-20mA signal or a digital signal, depending on the application's requirements.

 

The electric actuator is typically mounted on top of the valve body and connected to the ball using a mechanical linkage. When the actuator receives a signal, it rotates the ball to the desired position, allowing the fluid to flow through the valve. The actuator can also be programmed to operate at specific intervals or in response to certain conditions, such as changes in temperature or pressure.

 


Conclusion

To sum up, the industrial electric ball valve actuator has become an indispensable key equipment in the industrial automation control system due to its advantages of simple structure, long service life and high control precision.

 

With the continuous development and progress of the industrial field, industrial electric ball valve actuators will also continue to innovate and develop to meet the needs of different industries. We believe that in the future development, industrial electric ball valve actuators will continue to play an important role, providing a strong guarantee for the safe, efficient and reliable operation of industrial production.
