Valves are components found in countless applications and industries, serving for the regulation, direction, and management of fluid flow. Depending on the type of valve, such devices may operate by opening, closing, or partially obstructing the path of fluids. While many valves are manually operated, a wide number of applications benefit from automation and actuation systems that make the adjustment of valve settings much easier. In this blog, we will be specifically discussing valve actuators and their common types, allowing you to better understand the importance and usefulness of such devices.
