Electric Valve Actuator Educational Video Series

Valve actuators drive the movement of valves either in on/off, modulating or control service. These actuators can be powered manually, pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically. For electric actuators, there is a great, educational YouTube series, Introduction to Valve Actuation and Electric Actuators.

The 10 videos range from 2 minutes to 8 ½ minutes and feature these topics:

  1. Introduction to Valve Actuation and Electric Actuators (5:09)
  2. Introduction to Electric Actuator Operation (4:37)
  3. Introduction to How Stroke and Thrust is Created (2:04)
  4. Introduction to Electric Actuator Design for a Range of Valve Sizes (3:22)
