Unless this lever is first moved to the \u201cmanual\u201d position, turning the hand wheel accomplishes nothing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The next photograph shows an electric valve actuator coupled to a large butterfly valve.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although nothing visible in this photograph betrays the nature of this actuator\u2019s signaling, it happens to be digital rather than analog, receiving position commands through a <a href=\"https:\/\/instrumentationtools.com\/how-profibus-communication-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Profibus<\/a> digital network rather than an analog <a href=\"https:\/\/instrumentationtools.com\/4-20-ma-loop-splitter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4-20 mA<\/a> current signal:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25085 size-full\" title=\"Electrical Actuator Valve\" src=\"https:\/\/instrumentationtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/electric-valve-actuator.jpg\" alt=\"Electrical Actuator Valve\" width=\"980\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The shape of the actuator\u2019s metal casing reveals the final gear drive of this actuator as a <a href=\"https:\/\/instrumentationforum.com\/t\/gearbox-questions-and-answers\/6569\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">worm gear<\/a> set. Note the round shape of the casing where the open\/close indicator is located (at the centerline of the butterfly valve stem): this contains the worm wheel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Note immediately to the left of that round casing is a vertically-oriented cylinder shape: this contains the worm screw, which engages with the teeth of the worm wheel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Above the worm screw is a parallel-shaft spur gear set which acts to further reduce the speed of the actuator\u2019s electric motor: the motor shaft terminates in a small gear, which meshes with a larger gear that turns the worm screw shaft.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Above the parallel shaft gear set is the main casing of the actuator, which actually contains its own internal worm gear set. This multiple-stage gear reduction means that the motor spins very fast in comparison to the <a href=\"https:\/\/instrumentationtools.com\/basics-of-butterfly-valves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">butterfly<\/a> element inside the valve, and that the butterfly is capable of exerting a fantastic amount of torque in comparison to the torque rating of the electric motor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Electric motors require no external fluid power system to function, unlike pneumatic or hydraulic actuators. All they require is a source of electrical power (often 480 volts AC, three-phase).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some electric valve actuators even have the capability of operating from the power of an electric battery pack, for reliable operation in the event of a power system outage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Virtually all electric valve actuators require some form of feedback to indicate the valve\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At minimum, this consists of limit switches to indicate when the valve is fully shut and fully open. For throttling services, an electric actuator requires an actual valve position sensor so that it may precisely adjust the valve to any desired state. This sensor may take the form of a potentiometer, or a variable differential transformer (LVDT or RVDT), or pulse <a href=\"https:\/\/instrumentationtools.com\/encoder-multiple-choice-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">encoder<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This Rotork brand <a href=\"https:\/\/instrumentationforum.com\/t\/motor-operated-valve-mov-loop-checks-procedure\/6008\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MOV<\/a> has a digital display at one end showing its closed status both in text (\u201cClosed Limit\u201d) and symbolically (by the vertical line, which is supposed to represent a closed butterfly element):<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25087 size-full\" title=\"Motor Local Control Panel\" src=\"https:\/\/instrumentationtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/motor-operated-valve-MOV-Local-Control-Panel.jpg\" alt=\"Motor Local Control Panel\" width=\"628\" height=\"686\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to visual indicators of status, electric valve actuators commonly provide auxiliary electrical contacts signaling fully-open and fully-closed positions, which may be used to energize remote indicator lights or discrete input channels of control systems (e.g. PLC).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Throttling-service MOVs also provide analog (and\/or digital) signaling of valve stem position for remote indication or feedback to an electronic control system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read : <a href=\"https:\/\/instrumentationtools.com\/dome-valve-working-principle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Dome Valve Principle<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electric motors have long been used to actuate large valves, especially valves operated as on\/off (\u201cshutoff\u201d) devices.
