Motor Operated Gate Valves

Motor operated valves are often called as on off valves as the motors serve the purpose of fully opening or fully closing valves in pipelines.

Motor operated gate valves.

This video demonstrates the operation of a motor operated ball valve mov manufactured by worcester. Also known as an electric actuator motor operators c. The actuator uses liquid gas electricity or other energy sources and converts it into a driving action through a motor cylinder or other device. Electric gate valve motorized gate valves are manufactured to the latest edition of api standard 600 and tested to api standard 598.

Due to the large size of the valve actuator an electric motor is needed to open or close a valve. Gate ball butterfly etc. They are operated by a threaded stem which connects the actuator generally a hand wheel or motor to the stem of the gate. An electric motor is mounted on the valve and geared to the valve stem so that when the motor operates the valve will open or close.

The design of engines and valves may be different. An electric motor is mounted on the valve and geared to the valve stem so that when the engine is running the valve will open or close. Motor operated valves commonly abbreviated as mov on p ids are valves which are actuated by electric motors. Power operated actuators using gas pressure hydraulic pressure or electricity allow a valve to be adjusted remotely or allow rapid operation of large valves.

Motor operated valves are generally large valves used in different kinds of operations. If the valve has a rising stem its position can be seen just by looking at the position of the stem. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve manually operated valves require someone in attendance to adjust them using a direct or geared mechanism attached to the valve stem. Actuator is a driving device capable of providing linear or rotary motion which works under a certain control signal.

The valves operated by motor can be of various types e g. Gate valves work by inserting a rectangular gate or wedge into the path of a flowing fluid. Motor operated valves can be of various types e g. Gate ball butterfly etc.

Design of motors and valves can be different. These valves are generally of large size and are used for different applications such as pump discharge etc.
