A rotary electric actuator controls equipment such as valves or dampers by providing rotational motion. These systems operate by converting electrical energy into mechanical rotary movement. Basically, they enable rotary position control at angles such as 90° or 120°.

The electric motor forms the core of the actuator. Thanks to this motor, ball valves or butterfly valves are rotated. The rotation process is carried out in a controlled and gradual manner through an integrated gear system.

Rotary actuator models are generally preferred in automation systems, especially in applications that require remote control. They are widely used in both industrial and commercial environments.

Where is Rotary Electric Actuator Used?

Rotary electric actuators are safely preferred across many different sectors. They have a wide range of applications, from water treatment plants to chemical processing systems.

In addition, they are frequently used in power generation, HVAC systems, and food production lines. They deliver high efficiency in all applications that require precise flow control.

They are safely used in oil and gas pipelines, steam valves, and fire-fighting systems. Rotary systems are indispensable, especially in applications where precise positioning is required.

UNOX brand domestically manufactured actuator options are widely preferred in these areas. Their long service life and low maintenance requirements stand out.

General Structure of Rotary Actuators

Rotary electric actuators have a compact structure manufactured from an aluminum housing. They are supported by internal limit switches that provide torque and position control.

The motor inside the device typically operates on 24V DC or 220V AC. Thanks to the gear mechanism, rotation is provided in a controlled and quiet manner.

The IP67 protection class ensures safe operation even in harsh environments. In addition, with the ISO 5211 mounting standard, it can be easily integrated with different types of valves.

Thanks to the position indicator, the open or closed status of the actuator can be easily monitored. The manual override handwheel provides ease of intervention in the event of a power outage.

Why Should a Rotary Electric Actuator Be Preferred?

Rotary actuators provide significant advantages in terms of both precision and energy efficiency. These electrically operated systems require less maintenance compared to pneumatic systems.

At the same time, they offer remote control capability in locations where manual operation is difficult. This results in significant savings in both time and labor.

With UNOX electric actuators, locally manufactured and high-quality solutions can be accessed easily. Thanks to their wide torque range and application versatility, they are suitable for a broad spectrum of requirements.
