What is a Pneumatic Actuated Ball Valve?

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

Our Pneumatic Actuated Ball Valves

Double-Acting Pneumatic Actuated Ball Valve

The actuator uses compressed air to both open and close the ball valve. This is the most popular option and the best choice for the majority of applications. In the event of a power loss, the actuator will return the ball valve to the closed position.

Used For:

Low to high cycle applications where compressed air is accessible, and that require a power loss failsafe and compact design.

Spring-Return Pneumatic Actuated Ball Valves

Compressed air is used to open the ball valve. When air pressure is a removed, a failsafe spring forces the ball valve closed. In the event of a power or compressed air failure, the valve will return to the closed position.

Used For:

Moderate cycle applications with access to compressed air, and that require a failsafe in event of compressed air or power loss.

Double-Acting Pneumatic Actuated Ball Valve (with Failsafe)

A Gemini Valve industry first, these ball valves combine the service life of our double-acting models with the failsafe feature of spring-return models. The actuator operates as a double-acting actuator, but includes spring return modules to ensure the valve fails closed in the event of power or compressed air loss.

Used For:

High cycle applications where compressed air is accessible, and a failsafe is required in event of compressed air or power loss.

Solenoid Valve

A solenoid valve is used to pilot air to the pneumatic actuator to automate the flow of media. All pneumatic actuated ball valves require some form of air control valve to operate. Our GP Solenoid Valves flush mount to the actuator via a NAMUR-compatible interface and act as an integral component of the assembly. This component is optional and may not be required if a solenoid bank or other air control device is utilized.

Used For:

All pneumatic actuated ball valves require solenoid valves to automate the delivery of compressed air to the actuator.

When a Pneumatic Actuated Ball Valve is Necessary

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:

Oil & Gas
Food & Beverage
Automotive
Power Processing
Pharmaceutical
Chemical Admixtures & Treatment
