When comparing valve actuator types such as electro-hydraulic actuator vs an electric actuator, the electro-hydraulic actuator has the following advantages:
- Speed
- Duty Cycle
- Price
- Fail-safe capability
- Force
The electro-hydraulic actuator is the ideal choice for applications that require high speeds, 100% duty cycle, fail-safe and/or high thrust values.
