Electric screw ball valves have become a critical component in various industrial applications, particularly in automation and process control systems. This article delves into the design, functionality, advantages, and applications of electric screw ball valves, highlighting their significance in modern industry.

    What is an Electric Screw Ball Valve?

    An electric screw ball valve is a type of quarter-turn valve that uses an electric actuator to control the flow of fluids through a piping system. This valve consists of a spherical disc (the ball) with a hole in its center, which aligns with the flow when the valve is open and obstructs the flow when closed. The “screw” aspect refers to the mechanism that enables precise positioning of the valve, typically using a threaded rod or screw system driven by an electric motor.
