Selecting the Right Linear Actuator
Selecting the appropriate actuator depends on the specific valve to be automated, the required stroke, the necessary positioning force, the available power supply, the control signal, and the safety requirements of the process.
Mechanical specifications to be verified
Setting force
The actuator must deliver the torque and thrust required to operate the valve under real-world conditions, accounting for differential pressure, friction, seating force, and an appropriate safety margin.
Valve travel
The actuator stroke must match the valve's travel profile: 50 mm, 65 mm, or more depending on the model.
Mechanical interface
The coupling, connection threads, spacers, and mounting position must be validated to ensure reliable system integration.
Electrical Data & Control Systems
Control signal
Analog control loop of 0/4–20 mA or 0/2–10 V, 24–230 V binary control, or fieldbus interfaces, depending on the control architecture.
Power supply available
Versions available depending on configuration in 230 VAC, 115 VAC, 24 VAC/DC, or three-phase power supply depending on the model.
Safety Features
Fail-safe position upon power loss, manual override, limit switches, position feedback, and diagnostics, depending on the selected options.
Provide us with your valve part number, effective stroke, required thrust, available power supply, and control signal — we will configure the precise PS Automation actuator to meet your specifications.
