Four Different Ways to Drive The Cast Iron Ball Valve
In industrial fluid systems, Cast Iron Ball Valve is a common valve type mainly used to control the flow of fluids. According to different driving methods, Cast Iron Ball Valve can be divided into four types, namely manual ball valve, pneumatic ball valve, electric ball valve and hydraulic ball valve. The four driving methods of Cast Iron Ball Valve will be introduced below.
Manual ball valve
Manual ball valves are a common driving method. The ball is driven to rotate by manually turning or pulling the valve handle to open and close the valve. Its advantages include simple structure, convenient operation, and low price, so it is widely used in small or situations that do not require frequent operations.
Pneumatic ball valve
Pneumatic ball valve is a valve driven by compressed air and consists of a pneumatic actuator and a ball valve. The pneumatic actuator converts compressed air into mechanical energy, drives the ball to rotate, and realizes the opening and closing operation of the valve. The pneumatic Cast Iron Ball Valve is easy to operate, has fast response speed and a high degree of automation. It is widely used in situations where rapid control of fluid flow direction is required.
Electric valve
Electric ball valve is a motor-driven valve, consisting of a motor, reducer and ball valve. The motor reduces the speed through the reducer, outputs greater torque, drives the ball to rotate, and realizes the opening and closing operation of the valve. The electric Cast Iron Ball Valve is easy to operate and can be controlled remotely. It is suitable for automated production lines, etc., so it is widely used in situations where precise control of fluid flow direction is required.
Hydraulic ball valve
The hydraulic ball valve is composed of a hydraulic actuator and a ball valve. The valve is driven to open and close by hydraulic oil. The hydraulic actuator converts the pressure of hydraulic oil into mechanical energy, drives the ball to rotate, and realizes the opening and closing operation of the valve. Hydraulic Cast Iron Ball Valve has the advantages of large output torque, high control accuracy, and is suitable for high-pressure fluids. Therefore, it is widely used in situations where high-precision control of fluid flow direction is required.
