What Are Valve Actuators?

Valve actuators are the critical components that automate valve operation, enabling precise control of fluid flow. Delco specializes in two major categories: Electric and Pneumatic actuators. Unlike manual handles or gearboxes, these devices provide the power and intelligence to open, close, or modulate valves remotely, making them essential for modern process automation. Engineered for durability and efficiency, Delco actuators optimize automation in oil, gas, water, and manufacturing systems—trusted for seamless performance.

Delco offers a complete portfolio of valve actuators, covering both major power sources to meet diverse operational needs:
