An electric actuator is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical motion. It is widely used to control valves, dampers, and other mechanical devices in industrial systems. These actuators are typically powered by motors, and their operation can range from simple on/off control to more complex, proportional control, depending on the needs of the system.

    In environments like chemical plants, oil refineries, and gas stations, the presence of flammable gases or dust particles makes electrical equipment susceptible to dangerous ignition. A typical actuator, if not designed with proper precautions, could spark or overheat and cause a fire or explosion. Therefore, explosion-proof electric actuators are engineered to meet the highest safety standards and provide a reliable solution in these hazardous environments.
