LECTURE 3: Actuators, Encoders, Relays and Switches. Actuators: An actuator is the device that brings about the mechanical movements required for any physical process in the factory. Internally, actuators can be broken down into two separate modules: the signal amplifier and the transducer. The amplifier converts the low power control signal into a high power signal that is fed into the transducer, which actually converts the amplified control signal into the required form of energy. Figure 3.1.
Valve Actuator. â¢ Description: A valve actuator (See Figure 1) is a pneumatic or electric mechanism used in process control systems to automatically open or close valves. In standard valves, when the valve is given a command to open to a certain point, there is no feedback to verify that it has opened to that position. â¢ Potential Applications: Valve actuators can be used with either linear or rotary valves in industrial, medical, food and beverage, and transportation applications.
