SUMMARY
A Vane Actuator is a device that automates the operation of valves, specifically designed for 1/4 turn valves such as ball valves and butterfly valves. It utilizes rotary motion to control the flow of fluids in various applications. Key resources for understanding Vane Actuators include Wikipedia articles on rotary vane pumps and hydraulic machinery, as well as product information from Emerson Process Management.
