z Definition of Actuators
Any device mounted on a valve that, in response to a
signal, automatically moves the valve to the required
position using an outside power source.

z Typical Classifications of Actuators

1. Pneumatic actuators
2. Electronic motor actuators
3. Electro hydraulic actuators
Introduction to
Global Marketing of Actuators
z Because the power source – compressed air -- is
relatively inexpensive and safe when compared to a
human resource or electrical or hydraulic power
sources, 90% of all actuators in service today are
pneumatically driven.

z According to Valve World Magazine, the global sales of

pneumatical actuators are evaluated as following:

2005 ：538 million USD

2006 ：630 million USD

PURETORQ™
Product Analysis of PURETORQ™

z PURETORQ™, using the design of the vane, utilizes the

rotary-to-rotary motion principle with the accuracy and
stability for the proportional control.
Product Analysis of PURETORQ™

z The vane is comprehensively

integrated with the shaft. Zero
hysteresis occurs from the
actuator to the valve stem.

z Equal areas on both ends of

shaft balance the loads, and
thus the friction will be reduced
to minimum as cycle life
acuminated.

Rack & pinion pneumatic actuator

z However，conventional Rack & Pinion actuator can NOT avoid the

hysteresis caused by the gap between each racks, and induce
position error while utilized in proportional control. They definitely
dominate the increasing cost of manufacturing and maintenance.
Product Analysis of PURETORQ™

z PURETORQ™’s life cycle reaches 1 million times, being longer

than the conventional ones for 20%~50%.
Product Analysis of PURETORQ™

z The higher air pressure to produce the tighter sealing at the

contact of "seal-vane" and "seal-housing“.
Product Analysis of PURETORQ™

z Due to the different structure，the parts of PURETORQ™ are less

than of conventional ones for 50%; simplified constitution and
selection of composite material immensely reduces cost and
maintenance, and consequently makes the product competitive.
Product Analysis of PURETORQ™

z Features and Advantages

1. Integrated shaft & vane: To control the proportional precisely
2. Fixed Seal: Patented design; To enhance the stability and life time.
3. Simple Construction: To reduce the cost of manufacturing and
maintenance.
4. Composite Material: Exceptional mechanical strength and
corrosion resistance.
5. No Load Full Stroke Operation with Less Than 3 psi: Low friction
in the actuator.
6. External spring ：Only 8% operation torque decay.
7. Dual ISO5211 and VDI/VDE3845 mounting pad: To easily connect
with limit switch or positioner, and with valve body directly or using
bracket.
8. Direct NAMUR mount pad for solenoid.

z Option of Female drive

z In the mainstream market of actuators, the female drive

design is often adopted. PURETORQ™ also develops the
female drive to substitute for the former method of use.
Product Analysis of PURETORQ™

z In the mode of fail-safe, efficient clock spring provides 2 million

times life cycle and only 8％ operating decay to ensure operating
as single action with enough torque.
Product Analysis of PURETORQ™

z Typical operation decay of a R&P actuator with spring return is about

30~60%, bringing out the torque failure, and thus a larger size of a
actuator is required. PURETORQ™ ‘s 8％ operation decay solve the
problem comprehensively and efficiently.

Taiwan’s Competitive Advantages

Manual Actuator DCS PLC Fieldbus

The position of Taiwan’s valve industry

can not stay in the “Manual Period”！
Taiwan’s Competitive Advantages

z “Actuator” would be the

first step of Taiwan’s
valve industry to
“Industrial automation.”
Taiwan’s Competitive Advantages
z Alan Mulally, president and
CEO of Boeing Commercial
Airplanes, said the company
was looking to replace existing
737 models with the new
materials.

z The aircraft is made from a

combination of non-metal
carbon fiber composite
materials, which is lighter than
the aluminum normally used.

z This reduces the weight of the

aircraft and leads to better fuel
efficiency. Boeing predicts the
787s will be 20 percent more
efficient than its 767 planes.
