They work in harsh environments, and they get little or no recognition. But their impact on power plant efficiency can be significant. Valves and actuators are critical in almost every aspect of power ...

A trend has been gaining steam: Electric, modulating, pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) are increasingly replacing traditional self-piloted regulators in steam systems. The adoption of this “smart” ...

The use of highly precise and continuously modulating actuators – in power stations for example – increases the efficiency of plants and reduces power consumption. The capacity of current new-build ...

At a time of surging demand for electric energy, the power industry has to ensure reliable and stable supply with the flexibility needed to handle intermittent wind and solar generation. Through ...

Rotork Process Controls introduced the SM-6000 S2, an electric rotary actuator for a wide range of heavy-duty damper drive applications found in power plants. The actuator provides high speeds and ...

Electric rod-actuators are replacing fluid power actuators for many high-force applications throughout industry. Tasks once limited to hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders such as pressing, holding, ...

When Bobcat launched its T7X compact tracked loader just in time for ConExpo last year, it wasn’t only different in the sense that it was electrically powered. More unusually, the machine also did ...

The Limitorque Actuation Systems L75 Series of electric-valve actuators provides remote-control actuation of quarterturnvalves and other rotary devices, including on/off and modulating rotaryvalve ...

The subcommittee activites may include: 1. Developing a specification form, which is accepted as a common United States and international standard. 2. Definining terms, guidelines, recommendations, ...
