Pneumatic Ball Control Valve

Pneumatic ball control valves regulate media flow using a rotating ball with a bore, controlled by pneumatic actuators converting compressed air into mechanical motion. These valves consist of two main components: the pneumatic actuator and the ball valve, typically mounted together with a standardized ISO 5211 flange. This allows for easy interchangeability with other units of the same flange size (e.g., F03, F04, F05). Pneumatic actuators can be single or double acting; single-acting actuators use air to rotate the ball in one direction and a spring to return it, while double-acting actuators use air for bidirectional movement. They offer a cost-effective solution for large valve applications compared to electric ball valves.
