Abstract:
A linear valve drive for connection to a valve body having a valve seat and at least one flow passage with at least one inlet and at least one outlet, comprises a drive housing with a drive unit accommodated therein, an actuating element axially shiftable by the drive unit and coupled with a valve closing element to be pressed against the valve seat, and optionally closing the flow passage, and a supporting unit surrounding the actuating element, which is designed to be attached to the valve body. A spring system loaded by actuating the linear valve drive is provided at the supporting unit, which in dependence on the compression path has different spring rates. Furthermore, a correspondingly equipped valve is described.
Abstract:
A valve actuator for a valve has an electric motor which comprises a rotor and a stator, and further a magnetic detent brake with at least one detent magnet for holding the rotor in a detent position. The least one rotor magnet is arranged on the rotor and co-operates with the detent brake.

Abstract:
A diaphragm control valve includes a diaphragm valve and a valve control. The diaphragm valve includes a valve housing having a flow channel, a diaphragm, and an actuator. The valve control comprises an actuating element. The valve control comprises a correction element and provides a plurality of predefined correction characteristic lines. The valve control is arranged such that a user can select one of the correction characteristic lines, and the correction element along with the selected correction characteristic line determines a corrected position set value from a preset position set value. The actuating element is configured to determine a manipulated variable from the corrected position set value and to control the actuator using the manipulated variable such that the diaphragm control valve has a predetermined diaphragm control valve characteristic line.

Abstract:
A method of controlling a valve plunger of a valve makes provision that, prior to the operation, the valve individually runs through a set-up procedure on the basis of a detected closed position, in which set-up procedure the valve plunger exerts an additional force in the direction of the valve seat beyond a detected closed position. The corresponding valve is equipped with an integrated valve controller which performs a corresponding set-up procedure automatically prior to the operation.

Abstract:
A method and a device for open-loop or closed-loop control of a process uses an actuator, a position sensor, a process valve, a process sensor, and a tuning stage. n positions of the process valve are approached, and the associated actual position values are detected. The respective actual process values are detected for each corresponding actual position value to thus obtain value pairs of actual position values and actual process values. Correction values are calculated based on the identified value pairs, and position set values corrected with the correction values are determined to compensate for nonlinearities of the process, such that a linear overall behavior is achieved.
