A pneumatic actuated ball valve uses compressed air to automate the control of media. Pneumatic actuated ball valves don’t rely on a motor, but they do require electricity when paired with an integral pilot or solenoid valve.
Here’s a breakdown of the components:
Pneumatic: Refers to the use of pressurized air or gas to create energy.
Actuator: The component that is used to automate control of the ball valve.
Ball Valve: A quarter-turn on/off valve that controls flow of media via a pivoting ball
Pneumatic actuated ball valves are found in factories and manufacturing facilities. They are also commonly used on OEM equipment where compressed air is accessible, such as liquid filling equipment or automotive fluid fill systems.
You’ll also find these ball valves in use in the following industries:
