AXIAL CONTROL VALVES

A valve having a body in which the ends are in line with each other, which the closure member, a piston type disc that is connected to a crack/shaft mechanism, is actuated by an actuator, motor or a counter weight. Due to circular cross-sectional outlet on all disc openings, it is suitable for regulation. Axial control valves may be with:

Internal actuation mechanism   

Valve type that has the actuation mechanism inside the main valve body.

External actuation mechanism  

Valve type that has the actuation mechanism outside the valve body.
