Valve Motion




   Valve Motion:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Rotary Motion Valve
 
     Rotary motion valves (rotary valves) such as ball, plug and butterfly valves that rotate through a quarter-turn (90 degrees) or more from open to close.  This includes multiturn valves.
 
   Linear Motion Valve
 
     Linear motion valves (linear valves) such as gate, globe, diaphragm, pinch, and angle-style valves have a sliding stem design that pushes the closure element open or closed. The valve stem may rise while rotating (multi-turn) or may rise without rotating.

   Control Signal Input      Throttling valves regulate the flow, pressure or temperature of the service. They can move to any position within the stroke of the valve and hold that position, including full on or full off. The addition of an actuator to a throttling valve, which has the ability to adjust to a signal, is called a control valve. An actuator used in throttling or modulating service is part of the control loop consisting of a sensing device, controller and an actuator mounted on a valve. The actuator receives a control input signal from the controller or positioner and adjusts closure element position accordingly.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Milliampere Control Signal
 
     The input control signal to the actuator is a milliampere signal.
 
   Voltage Control Signal
 
     The input control signal to the actuator is a voltage signal.
 
   Pressure Control Signal
 
     The input control signal to the actuator is a pressure signal.
