Actuators for Ball Valves

Ball valves allow not only manual control but also operation via actuators or pneumatic actuators. Opening, closing, and flow regulation of operational substances through the valve can thus be controlled automatically. Unlike pneumatic actuators, which are mainly used for two-way valves, actuators for ball valves are designed for two-way, three-way, and four-way variants, and allow use for other types of fittings in closed or open water and air systems. Actuators for ball valves have various advanced safety features that protect the actuator and valve from damage due to overload, and if necessary, allow for manual control. They can be easily installed on ball valves thanks to the adapter. We also offer the option of assembling the actuator with the ball valve by professionals.

Ball valves can be quite easily converted from manual operation to electrically controlled. This applies to both two-way and three-way ball valves, which we transform into fully motorized fittings by installing a servo. These can then be integrated into a complete system, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of values to ensure the desired media flow. In combination with a control system (regulation), the entire heating, ventilation, or air conditioning circuit subsequently operates much more efficiently and economically.
The basic division of actuators is into two-point (on/off) or three-point (control function). The actuator can be mounted on the ball valve using a single screw (Belimo valves) or with a prepared adapter (Giacomini R250D). You set the working range as needed with mechanical stops. Once these are reached, the power supply is automatically cut off, so there is no risk of damage to the actuator unit. The drive is further protected against overload.
