Electric Valve Actuators suitable for operating quarter turn ball valves, butterfly valves and plug valves are becoming more and more common when compared to historically less expensive pneumatic actuators. As technology and motors improve our electric actuators are now becoming less expensive, smaller and more compact in size as well as offering additional features once seen as costly add ons now part of standard electric actuator builds. This can include options such as internal heaters, manual overrides, brushless motors, end of limit travel stops, visual position indicators and multi voltage inputs. New ranges include battery backup fail safe and spring return safety features.
