Eltorque electric valve actuators for ships
Published 20 March 2023; updated 21 September 2026; 3-minute read. Eltorque supplies electric actuators and remote smart valve control for ships, replacing pneumatic or hydraulic actuation. From the bridge, crews can monitor and control systems such as ballast water, fuel and air conditioning instead of manually checking and adjusting valves.
The article says the motor automatically cuts power when a valve reaches its position. Eltorque’s patented self-locking technology holds the valve in place without continuing to consume power. The company claims lower energy use and carbon footprint, a compact/lightweight design that saves vessel space, and no risk of hydraulic-fluid spills. It says maintenance-free actuators can last up to 30 years and reduce lifecycle costs.
The page places the product in the context of IMO emissions-reduction targets and ship electrification. Eltorque, founded in 1996, described itself as a market leader in smart valve control for mid- and high-end vessels built in Europe and was looking to expand in China and open US sales offices.
