How to Select Parts for Electric Actuators

There are many parts of electric actuators that are used in all kinds of systems. They are found in the control systems for valves, air conditioning systems, elevators and many other applications. As with any electrical component, there are some considerations that need to be made when buying parts. This information is important when purchasing parts for any type of mechanical or electronic device. The following information is about three of the most important considerations when purchasing actuator parts.

First, when buying parts, you need to determine whether the part needs to meet safety standards or whether it is simply cost effective. If it is going to be used in a mechanical application, then it needs to be made from materials that will withstand wear and tear. Generally, these parts include rubber, nylon and carbon steel stainless steel. When purchasing them from a data manual, they should indicate the construction of each part. In addition, the data manual should specify all of the required safety standards that must be met before the part can be used.

Second, you need to ensure that the parts you purchase are designed for a particular application. For example, animal butterfly valve parts must be designed for use with animal butterfly valves. Data manuals will list the intended use of each part by the manufacturer. You should always make sure that the part you are purchasing is intended for your intended application.

Finally, you need to verify the type of operation that each part is designed for. Many parts will have different levels of complexity. For example, there are high speed electric actuators that are designed for very fast changes in resistance. There are also data subject electric actuators that will stop working if the input resistance falls below a specific threshold level.

To determine the intended purpose of the parts you buy, you should consult the data manual and perform an evaluation of the intended application. Next, you should determine how complex or simple the part is. Finally, you should consider whether the part requires special equipment such as a drill press or a table saw. If you find that the part requires special equipment, the cost may be higher than a less complicated part that would require the same amount of manual labor.

In summary, you should look for engineering data tables that provide the specifications and measurements for every part you buy. The tables should also indicate the type of power supply that are needed, the speed at which the motor is operated, and the operating environment. For high speed industrial applications, you should avoid animal Butterfly valves. Unival parts are expensive and the cost increases with increased speed. Unival parts also have limited life span and should be replaced after a considerable amount of use.
