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:


  1. 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


  2. 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
