An explosion-proof electric actuator is a device that uses electric power to automate the movement of valves, dampers, or other mechanical components, all while ensuring that any electrical sparks or heat generated by the actuator cannot ignite any surrounding flammable gases or materials. These actuators are specifically designed to meet stringent safety standards, such as those set by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the National Electrical Code (NEC). By enclosing the actuator’s electrical components in a casing that is resistant to explosion, these devices are capable of safely operating in hazardous areas.

    In industrial settings where safety is paramount, especially when dealing with volatile or hazardous materials, equipment reliability is critical. Explosion-proof electric actuators are a perfect solution for these demanding environments. Designed to prevent any potential ignition from occurring, these actuators are widely used in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and mining, where the risk of explosion is present. CNHELI, a leader in the field of automation and actuator technology, has emerged as a trusted manufacturer of these essential devices, ensuring both performance and safety in the most challenging conditions.
