An actuated or automated valve is a valve that is mechanically operated by a hydraulic, electric or pneumatic actuator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wikipedia has a good article on valve actuators (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valve_actuator\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valve_actuator<\/a>) but most of the illustrations are for multi-turn valves and actuators and it might be useful to provide a summary of actuated or automated quarter-turn valves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quarter-turn valves have seen significant growth due to the ease and competitiveness of actuating or automating them. However, in all cases care should be taken when sizing any valve; linear motion or quarter turn, due to the different torque considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following are some examples of quarter-turn valves with electric and pneumatic actuators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/actuatedballvalves\/index.php\">Actuated Ball valves<\/a> are available in most varieties of end connections and pressure classes and are available with soft seats or hard metal seats.
