In the world of modern industry, there is an increasing demand for automation and intellectualization of processes related to the management of various types of equipment. Automation systems operating under severe operating conditions are particularly important. One of these tools is straight—line electric drives, specially designed to ensure highly reliable and safe operation of actuators in harsh industrial environments.
What are direct-drive electric drives?
Straight—line electric drives are mechanical devices used for linear movement and rotation of actuating valves (valves, valves, gate valves). They allow you to automatically control the opening and closing of the working medium transportation channels, thus optimizing work processes and improving their manageability.
Linear actuators operate on the principle of direct conversion of the rotational motion of the electric motor into linear motion of the rod, which gives them special reliability and accuracy. Thus, direct-drive electric drives can be used in a wide variety of installations, whether they are large industrial complexes or small local facilities.
Purpose and types of direct-drive electric drives
The main purpose of direct-flow electric drives is to provide automatic adjustment and control of executive bodies (valves, valves, valves and other elements of pipeline systems). This automation allows you to quickly regulate the flow of water, oil, gas, steam and other working media, creating comfortable conditions for safe and controlled operation of the technological process.
There are several types of direct-drive electric drives, differing according to the following criteria:
- Control method: the automation can be controlled manually, remotely or through a special control program.
- Power supply: Constant or variable supply voltages, three-phase and single-phase motors can be used.
- Operating mode: there are drives designed for short-term or long-term operation, as well as universal models.
- Connection form: it can be connected to the valve by means of standard or individual adapters.
The main advantages of direct-drive electric drives
The use of direct-drive electric drives brings tangible benefits to the business:
- Increase production efficiency - automation of control processes by means of direct-drive drives reduces time delays and accelerates the execution of production cycles.
- Safety - the operation of direct-drive drives ensures
