Actuators

Neles actuators cover a complete range of valve actuation requirements, with different drive and construction types to meet industrial selection needs. For quarter-turn valves, the N1 series uses a heavy-duty pneumatic scotch-yoke design for demanding service, while the B1 series features a pneumatic cylinder design. For linear-stroke valves, the VB series uses a pneumatic cylinder-operated linear design, while the VD series features a pneumatic diaphragm-operated linear-stroke design. In addition, the M series provides manual worm gear actuation. When selecting an actuator, users should focus on the valve motion type, rotary or linear, and the required power source, such as heavy-duty pneumatic, pneumatic cylinder, diaphragm, or manual operation, to accurately match the appropriate actuator series.
