Q&A
What is a pneumatically actuated valve?
A pneumatically actuated valve is a valve operated by a pneumatic actuator using compressed air. It allows the valve to open, close or control flow automatically.
What is the difference between spring return and double acting actuated valves?
A double acting valve assembly uses air to move the actuator in both directions. A spring return assembly uses air to move the valve one way and springs to return it to a safe position.
Can pneumatically actuated valves include position feedback?
Yes. Limit switch boxes can be fitted to provide open and closed position feedback for monitoring and control systems.
Are pneumatically actuated valves suitable for hazardous areas?
Selected pneumatic actuator options are available with ATEX certification for hazardous environments. The suitability depends on the full valve package and installation requirements.
