Motor power of electric on/off valve
Thread Content
Hello everyone. If the motor power of an electric on/off valve is chosen to be much higher than what is required under actual operating conditions, could this cause damage to the valve or lead to other problems? Seeking advice, thank you!
It won’t get damaged, but it’s like using a big horse to pull a small cart – a waste.
Generally not, as there is a limit switch inside the valve that cuts off the power supply once it reaches the proper position.
Could impact occur due to the inertia from opening and closing the valve too quickly when the motor is oversized?
The greater the motor power of an electric valve, the greater the torque; how then can this cause damage to the valve?
In fact, for some industrial and mining applications, it is better to use electric actuators with a higher torque
No way, it will stop when it reaches the limit. If the limit mechanism fails and the motor has high power, the valve is likely to be damaged; if the motor has low power, a failure of the limit mechanism can easily cause the motor to burn out.
I don’t understand what problems could arise. Unless you purchase the valve and the actuator separately, there is a possibility that they will not match.
