V-Tork Actuated Ball Valves deliver excellent flow control by combining high-performance ball valves with precision-engineered pneumatic actuators, ensuring smooth operation, tight shut-off, and long service life across a wide range of industries including chemical, industrial, and process applications. Compact yet powerful, these actuators provide high-torque pneumatic actuation with minimal maintenance, making them a reliable choice for demanding systems.

The Actreg actuated valve range available from Ball Valve UK offers a rack and pinion quarter-turn solution, with each actuator tested individually for pneumatic tightness and rotation accuracy before leaving the factory. Known for being durable and virtually maintenance-free, Actreg actuators improve operational efficiency and maintain performance under the harshest conditions.

Air Torque’s valve actuators are another top option, offering an outstanding balance of cost and quality while providing SIL reliability for ball and butterfly valves up to 12 inches, with large stocks available for next-day delivery. These compact units are versatile, easily switching between spring return and double acting, and are offered with protection options for corrosive environments.

Emerson’s Elomatic F Series adds another layer of safety and dependability with a powder-coated cast aluminium body, pre-compressed spring cartridges, and blow-out proof stems that enhance both installation and long-term use.

Similarly, Hytork Actuated Valves set the benchmark for longevity and resilience, with robust aluminium construction designed to endure challenging environments. Although initially more expensive than other rack and pinion actuators, their cost-effectiveness over time is unmatched thanks to their extended service life and versatile spring return or double acting conversion options. Together, these pneumatic solutions provide highly reliable and efficient control for critical valve automation.

AV-ARES electric valve actuators offer a dependable and effective automation solution, built with robust materials and advanced engineering to guarantee up to 50,000 cycles, reducing downtime and maintenance expenses. Their aluminium alloy shell, coated with polyethylene, ensures durability, while the IP67 ingress protection rating makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.

The AV-LITE series complements this with an affordable yet efficient option in the lower to mid-range of electric actuators, featuring a local visual position indicator, manual override, and Open/Close feedback, all within an IP67 resin housing. Its modular design allows optional upgrades such as battery backups and additional switches, offering flexibility to meet varied application needs.

J&J’s J4C series electric actuators take performance further with a brushless motor for higher torque and efficiency compared to the J3C model, alongside modern connectivity features like MODBUS and Bluetooth. Additional options such as battery backup fail-safes and digital positioners provide precise and reliable control.

Koei Unic actuators, manufactured in Japan, stand out with their compact, durable design featuring a stove-enamelled die-cast housing, clear sight glass for position indication, and multiple voltage options (24VDC, 24VAC, 110VAC, 230VAC) with both single and dual cable entry configurations.

Finally, Valpes Electric Actuated Ball Valves ensure efficient and precise automation in fluid systems, providing streamlined operation, long-term reliability, and advanced fluid management solutions for diverse industrial applications. These electric actuator options collectively deliver adaptability, accuracy, and durability, making them a trusted choice for process automation across many industries.
