Model Selection Guide of Electric Actuators: How to Choose a Suitable Actuator?
2026-05-21
As a professional electric actuator manufacturer, we understand that selecting the right actuator is critical for system performance and reliability. Many factors need to be taken into account in electric actuator selection, below is a professional selection guide for your reference to help you complete accurate model selection.
1Confirm Application Requirement
First, users need to clarify the specific operating requirement of electric actuators in their application, including rotation angle, output torque, positioning accuracy and other requirements. Meanwhile, users should evaluate working environment, such as temperature, humidity and vibration and other influencing factors.
2Select the Right Electric Actuator Type
Choose an appropriate actuator type based on the actual application requirements. Common electric actuator types include electric rotary actuator, linear electric actuators and multi-functional electric actuators. For example, our quarter turn actuator is suitable for electric butterfly valve, electric ball valve and other rotary valves.
3Verifythe Output Shaft Parameter
Verify rotational range, rotational speed and output torque of output shaft according to the selected actuator type. These parameters can meet the application requirements to make sure the actuator can operate normally.
4Consider the Mounting Interface Type
Select an appropriate mounting interface type according to the valve type and size. The common mounting interface types include direct-mount and base-crank type. Those can ensure the connection between the actuator and valve is reliable and easy to install and maintain.
5Consider the Intelligent Functions
If a higher level of automation and intelligence is required, users can select intelligent electric actuators equipped with functions such as remote monitoring, fault diagnosis and automatic calibration. Our intelligent actuator series is designed to help users achieve more efficient and reliable automation control, while improving system reliability and maintenance efficiency.
6Evaluate the Reliability and Durability
The reliability and durability should be taken into account during selecting the electric actuators. Check the product quality and after-sales service provided by manufacturer to ensure that the selected actuator can operate reliably.
7Consider Cost Factors
Cost also should be taken into consideration when selecting an electric actuator. Compare the prices, performance and functions of electric actuators from different brands and models, and select the product that offers the best balance between performance and cost.
In a word, many factors such as application demands, actuator type, output shaft parameter, mounting interface type, intelligent function, reliability, durability and cost, etc need to taken into account when selecting the appropriate electric actuator. You can find the most suitable electric actuator through the careful evaluation and comparison.
