Valve actuators. Torque on demand.
A long-standing EMPD speciality: compact actuator motors from 2 to 70 Nm.
Background: representative footage
The duty
High torque, short duty.
A valve actuator opens and closes a valve. An electric actuator uses an electric motor to provide the torque, and is quiet, non-toxic and energy-efficient.
EMPD has its own expertise in designing and manufacturing actuator motors.
Applications
What the duty demands
- Short-time S2 / S3 duty
- High starting torque to unseat the valve
- Compact, special mounting
