Pneumatic and Electric Actuators play a key part in the automation of manual ball and butterfly valves, which are used in many industries. Actuation Valve offer a range of quarter turn and multi turn actuators to allow automation with components suitable for safe and hazardous areas with variable speeds, fail safe requirements, torque outputs and voltages. Large UK stocks provide next day delivery for stand alone units. For free issue actuation or actuated valve packages all assembly and testing is performed in house offering complete control of inspection and quality procedures throughout the build process.

Pneumatic Actuators account for a major part of our Valve Actuation service and provide High Force & Speed rivalled only to Hydraulic. Pneumatic Actuators may also be your preferred option to Electric Actuators for applications where continuous motion/modulating use is required. They are easy to maintain and install, with an initial lower cost than that of an electric equivalent with ancillary add on components inlcuding position monitoring limit switch boxes and Namur pilotsolenoid valves. From over 20 years of supply, we are yet to experience a single failure. With specifications for all industries and applications from stock, make Actuation Valve & Control your first choice for all Pneumatic Actuation services.

Electric Valve Actuators provide a smoother and more precise overall actuation performance for shut off and control valves with reliable positioning capabilities. Whilst usually requiring a higher initial cost outlay electric valve actuators are more efficient to run with lower ongoing power costs and consumption. The cost of ownership is greatly reduced compared to that of Pneumatic Actuators with no need for additional air line maintenance and equipment. Most of our electric actuator ranges are higly modular based and can be offered with various additons or customisations within the same housing, perfect for site standardisation.

Scotch yoke actuators are designed to convert rotary motion into linear motion, offering a reliable and efficient solution for various industrial applications. The distinctive feature of a scotch yoke mechanism is its ability to provide a linear output for a given rotational input. In a scotch yoke actuator, the rotary motion is typically generated by a motor or other power source. This rotational force is then transferred to a yoke, a component shaped like the letter "U," which engages with a sliding piston or rod. As the yoke moves back and forth in its rotational cycle, it imparts a reciprocating linear motion to the connected component.
