[Derek] sent in this electric ball valve he built for his bio-diesel reactor. If you haven’t checked, the commercial versions are pretty expensive. His solution was to mate a salvaged saturn … ...

By Marc Payot Hydraulically actuated automatic control valves or regulators have been a mainstay in the waterworks industry for over 100 years. The primary benefit of using a hydraulically actuated ...

Types of valve actuators Two main types of actuators, based on their motion, are linear and rotary. However, actuators are generally defined by the source of power that drives the actuator. They can ...

With decades of experience in hydraulically actuated valves, Young & Franklin offers electromechanically actuated (EMA) gas control valves designed for the challenging operating conditions of ...

Pilot Valve Ingredients: The mechanically operated valve you would like to control electrically. In this case, a 1″ NPT butterfly valve salvaged from the pink tank (McMaster p/n 9798K35).

Similar to the gates at any boundary, including the human mouth, the job of valves and actuators used to be simpler—on or off, open or closed, let items through or not. However, as separated ...
