Industrial Valve Stem Structures and Functions
The valve stem is a critical component of industrial valves, primarily responsible for transmitting operating forces or power to open or close the valve and ensuring precise positioning of the valve disc. Depending on the valve's design, the stem may provide either linear or rotary motion. In gate valves and globe valves, the stem drives the valve disc through linear motion to regulate fluid flow. Conversely, in ball valves, plug valves, and butterfly valves, the stem controls the flow by rotary...
