Linear Motor & Globe Valve Actuators

When you’re controlling flow in a system—whether chilled water on a VAV unit, steam in a reheat coil, or hot water in a terminal unit—the right actuator matters. At NorthStock, our linear motor actuators for PIC (Pressure Independent Control) and globe valves are reliable, durable, and easy to install. Browse our comprehensive catalog of Bray valve actuators for professional-grade quality and engineering.

Why Choose Linear Motor & Globe Valve Actuators?

In demanding HVAC control applications, you need components that deliver accuracy, flexibility, and dependability—without the extra setup time. Our selection of Bray valve actuators offers: 

  • Automatic calibration: Each actuator self-adjusts to the valve stroke upon power-up, eliminating manual fine-tuning.

  • Versatile control options: Actuators are compatible with On/Off, Floating (3-point), and Modulating (0–10 V or 4–20 mA) signals for a wide range of control strategies.

  • Installer-friendly features: Options include spring-return or non-spring return operation, direct or reverse acting selection, and manual override for on-site adjustments.

  • Rugged construction: All models are engineered to withstand daily use in challenging commercial and industrial settings.

Common Applications of Linear Valve Actuators

Linear motor actuators provide dependable, easy-to-install control solutions across a range of HVAC jobs. They’re ideal for:

  • Commercial and institutional projects: reliable control of heating and cooling water in centralized or zoned systems

  • Industrial systems: precise modulation for process, mechanical, and utility applications

  • HVAC equipment installations: fit seamlessly with air handlers, fan coils, terminal units, and other hydronic setups

  • Energy-efficient upgrades: quick setup, automatic calibration, and consistent control help improve system performance

  • Retrofit and new construction: designed for fast installation, minimal adjustment, and long service life

How to Choose Linear Motor & Globe Valve Actuators

To select the right actuator for your valve and system, check these key criteria:

  • Valve type & stroke: Check that the actuator fits your valve’s stroke length and mounting configuration

  • Control signal type: Decide whether an On/Off, Floating, or Modulating output is required

  • Return action: Determine whether you need a fail-safe spring return for when power is lost

  • Power & force specs: Ensure that the actuator provides enough torque to operate your valve correctly

  • Mounting & connection: Check the mounting style and verify that the actuator includes manual override and spring-return features

  • Installation: Confirm that the actuator’s enclosure type, temperature tolerance, and accessibility meet the conditions of your installation site
