Collection:Ball Valve Suited For Actuators

Explore Tameson's wide range of ball valves suited for actuators. An actuated ball valve can be broken down into two main components, namely, the actuator and the ball valve. The actuator can be either electric or pneumatic. An electric actuator needs a voltage input to open or close the valve automatically, whereas a pneumatic actuator needs compressed air to operate the valve.

The electric actuator and the ball valve are mounted together, typically with a standard flange adhering to ISO 5211. This allows both the actuator and ball valve to be swapped out with another one using the same flange size. There are various housings and sizes of electric ball valves to allow you to find the right one for your application. These actuated ball valves are used in various applications like industrial equipment, irrigation systems, solar water heaters, and heating and ventilation systems.

Ensuring compatibility between the actuator and valve is crucial. Confirming the connection type (like ISO 5211, ZoneTight, central bolt), the mounting flange size, and the required torque are essential steps.
