The electric screw ball valve is an innovative and highly efficient component in modern fluid control systems. Used across various industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, chemical processing, and HVAC systems, these valves are a testament to the evolution of automation in fluid management. Unlike traditional ball valves, the electric screw ball valve combines the principles of precision ball valve operation with electric actuation and screw mechanisms, offering improved control, energy efficiency, and reliability.

What is an Electric Screw Ball Valve?

An electric screw ball valve is a type of valve that combines three main components: a ball valve, an electric actuator, and a screw mechanism. The ball valve is responsible for regulating fluid flow, while the screw mechanism ensures precise and smooth movement of the ball within the valve. The electric actuator drives the screw, allowing for accurate positioning of the ball and offering the benefit of remote control or automation. The electric actuator is powered by an electric motor and is equipped with sensors that monitor the position of the valve, enabling it to open or close as required. The screw mechanism, which often features a lead screw or a ball screw, provides the necessary torque and force to rotate the ball valve into place, providing tight shut-off and precise flow control.
