Actuated Valves

We offer a wide range of pneumatic and electric actuated valve solutions, including individual components, complete valve assemblies ready for installation, and comprehensive project valve packages with full instrumentation.

We can meet your actuated valve needs, from single valves to complete project supply, so you can meet your deadlines.

Electric Actuated Valves

Electric actuated valves operated by using an electric motor to move the valve's mechanism. When power is applied, the motor drives a series of gears that translate the rotational motion into linear or rotary movement, depending on the design of the valve. This movement opens or closes the valve, or adjusts its position for regulating control. Electric actuators can easily be integrated into control systems, allowing for remote operation, feedback signals, and precise control over the valve's position.

Pneumatic Actuated Valves

A pneumatic actuated valve operates by using compressed air to drive the movement of the valve's internal mechanism. The pneumatic actuator typically consists of a diaphragm, piston, or vane that moves when air pressure is applied. This movement is then transmitted to the valve stem, which either opens or closes the valve or adjusts its position in modulating applications. Pneumatic actuators are often pairs with control systems that regulate the air pressure, ensuring precise control over the valve's position and the flow of the medium.

Innovation & Smart Features in Actuated Valve Technology

Modern industrial processes demand more than just open-and-close functionality. At Measure Monitor Control, our actuated valve solutions incorporate the latest innovations in valve automation to deliver smarter, safer, and more efficient system performance.

Intelligent Positioning & Diagnostics

Our electric actuators support advanced positioners that enable precise valve modulation with real-time feedback. Integrated diagnostics allow for remote monitoring, fault detection, and predictive maintenance, helping to avoid unplanned downtime.

Energy Efficiency & Smart Modulation

Our actuators are designed for optimal energy usage, with features such as:

  • Low standby power consumption
  • Variable speed control for smooth operation and reduced wear
  • Soft-start and soft-stop functions to minimize mechanical shock

Enhanced Safety Through Automation

In critical systems, actuators with fail-safe features, self-diagnostics, and emergency shutdown capabilities provide peace of mind. Whether responding to a power loss or a system alert, smart failover mechanisms ensure the valve returns to a predefined safe position without manual intervention.

What's Next

We can supply built and tested assemblies of valves, pneumatic actuators, solenoid valves and switchboxes ready to install for safe or hazardous area applications.

Electric actuators can be sized and fitted to ball or butterfly valves to meet any specific needs. Optional features include battery backup, position feedback, and ATEX certification.

Fully instrumented valve packages with solenoid valves, pneumatic instrumentation and digital positioners can all be specified, built, tested and shipped ready to install according to your requirements.
