What Is Air Actuated Valve？
An Air Actuated Valve is a type of valve that uses compressed air to control the opening and closing of the valve mechanism. It employs pneumatic pressure to actuate the valve, providing a reliable and efficient means of remote operation. This valve is commonly used in various industries where automation and remote control are required, offering precise flow control and quick response times.
How Does Air Actuated Valve work?
The Air Actuated Valve works by utilizing compressed air to move the valve mechanism, controlling the flow of fluid or gas through the system. When air pressure is applied, it activates the actuator, causing the valve to open or close accordingly. This pneumatic operation provides quick and precise control over the valve, allowing for efficient regulation of flow rates in various industrial applications.

The Operation Theory of Air Actuated Valve
- Foot Actuated Air Valve: In this mechanism, a foot pedal or switch controls the flow of compressed air to the actuator, initiating the valve’s operation.
- Air Actuated Ball Valves: When compressed air is directed to the actuator, it moves a piston or diaphragm, which in turn rotates the ball within the valve body to either allow or block fluid flow.
- Air Actuated Butterfly Valve: Similar to the ball valve, compressed air drives the actuator to rotate the disc within the valve body, regulating fluid flow through the valve.
