valve actuator selection criteria
(OP)
dear experts
A junior colleague asked me about valve actuator selection criteria and i am trying to support her with a reasonable answer.She asked me what are the key criteria to select different types of actuator for process valves although she and me deemed in most occasions spring return pneumatic actuators are the best and most reliable solutions.But still we are not sure about criteria to use pneumatic cylinder and hydrolic acutaro as well as different type of them like scach yoke and rack and penion and also different types of hydrolic actuators.
any clues would be appreciated.

As you can see, the best type depends upon what you need the actuator to do. Then you can get into who manufacturers the best of that type.
