Abstract

A flow control valve includes a body having a body bore oriented coaxially with a longitudinal axis of the body and a seat member extending into the bore. A valve member is slidably disposed in the bore and oriented coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the body. The valve member includes a non-circular geometrically shaped head having a bore. A drive adapter includes a head receiving cavity slidingly receiving the geometrically shaped head of the valve member and preventing axial rotation of the valve member. A stepper motor is connected to the drive adapter, the stepper motor incrementally rotating a shaft engaged with the bore of the valve member. First and second equal diameter pistons of the valve member provide pressure balanced valve member operating positions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a flow control valve operated by a stepper motor. Background technique [0002] This section provides background information related to the present disclosure, which is not necessarily prior art. [0003] The flow control valve may be operated by a stepper motor to improve repeatability of valve member positions for valves that require increased accuracy in controlling flow changes between fully open and / or fully closed positions. Operations requiring accurate delivery of fluid volume or pressure to work equipment may therefore benefit from the precision imparted by stepper motors compared to other known valve actuators. However, known flow control valves operated by stepper motors typically require a gear system or multi-directional component drive system to convert the rotational force of the stepper motor into a longitudinal force used to translate the valve member to an open valve position or a closed valve positio...
