Electric Ball Valves: Working Principle, Selection Guide & Wiring Diagrams FLOWX
As a leading valve manufacturer, FLOWX brings you this comprehensive guide to help engineers and procurement managers master electric ball valve selection while showcasing our industry-leading solutions.
How Electric Ball Valves Work: Precision Meets Power
Electric ball valves combine a quarter-turn ball valve with an electric actuator to enable remote fluid control. Here's how our premium-grade valves deliver unmatched performance:
Dual-Component System
Actuator: Features a dedicated motor (AC/DC), gear reducer, torque limiter, and position indicator
Valve Body: Precision-engineered ball with flow bore rotates 90° (standard) for ON/OFF or proportional control
Smart Operation
Our actuators enable:
Pipeline switching/diverting
Flow regulation (0-100% opening)
Instant feedback via 4-20mA/1-5V signals
IP67/IP68 protection for harsh environments
