What is Ex-proof Electric Actuator?

Ex-proof electric actuator is a type of electric actuator designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. It is specially designed to prevent ignition of flammable gases, vapors or dusts that may be present in the environment.

Ex-proof electric actuators are equipped with special features to reduce the risk of ignition, such as explosion-proof enclosures, flameproof motors and spark-proof switches. It has also been designed to meet stringent safety standards such as ATEX and IECEx, which set guidelines for the use of electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres.

In general, Ex-proof electric actuators are a critical component of many industrial systems as they help ensure the safety of workers and equipment in potentially hazardous environments.

Where is Ex-proof Electric Actuator Used?

Ex-proof electric actuators are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing and pharmaceutical production where there is a risk of explosion due to the presence of flammable materials. They are also used in underground mines and other places where the risk of explosion is high.

Ex-proof electric actuators; There are two types, 24V DC, 220V AC.

General Structure

Electric Actuators; It consists of 3-phase motor, speed regulator, torque control, stroke control opening indicator, manual electrical switches, manual gear and electrical parts.

Torque Setting

The actuator contains a mechanically adjustable torque mechanism. The necessary torque control settings have been made at the factory. However, if adjustment is still needed, it can be done mechanically.

Ex-proof Electric Actuator application areas; It can be applied to valve types including ball, butterfly valve and all rotary movements.
