A valve includes a valve body defining a first seat surrounding an orifice, and a valve element movably disposed within the valve body. The valve element moves between a first position where it engages the first seat to close the orifice, and a second position where it disengages from the first seat to open the orifice. A nut is movably coupled within the valve body and engaged with the valve element such that relative rotation between the nut and valve element causes the valve element to move between positions. An actuator applies torque to one of the valve element and nut to rotate it relative to the other. An anti-jamming feature dissipates torque from the actuator when the valve element moves into the first position, allows torque buildup for disengagement, and absorbs energy to reduce force between components while enabling improved operation.
