Description
1. Overview of Modulating Electric Actuator
VTON modulating electric actuators are versatile devices designed for controlling rotary valves such as butterfly, ball, and damper valves with 0° to 270° movement. They are widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, water treatment, shipbuilding, and power generation. Powered by single-phase or three-phase AC power, they accept 4-20mA or 0-10V control signals for seamless integration into automated systems.
Applications:
- Oil and gas pipelines
- Chemical processing plants
- Water and wastewater treatment
- Power generation
- HVAC and shipbuilding

4. Selection Guidelines
When selecting a modulating electric actuator:
- Determine the torque requirements of the valve and add a safety margin based on the operating medium.
- Match the actuator’s torque, control signals, and environmental conditions to your application requirements.
- For applications with extreme temperatures or hazardous environments, choose models with enhanced protection (e.g., IP68 or extended temperature ranges).
