A motor controls the movement of electronic ball valve, which are automated valves
An electric current powers these valves, allowing them to open or close in response to signals from the user
Industrial automation applications use motorized ball valves for great flexibility and control
What is an automatic ball valve?
It is made with stainless steel or carbon steel and comes with a mounting pad panel with a pneumatic or electric actuator
It is ideal for mixing and diverting flow and thus comes with protection from fugitive emissions
An automatic ball valve comes with features that allow it to control pipeline flow remotely
Why do industrial automation applications use motorized ball valves?
Industrial automation applications use motorized ball valves for great flexibility and control
These valves can be used to manage liquids and gasses within a process
Solenoid and pneumatic operation offer accurate positioning in motorized ball valves, which are the most common types
SA Pneumatic Actuator A pneumatic ball valveneeds a pneumatic actuator to control the pipeline medium. In application, the actuat…
Hydraulic fluid used in vehicles with automatic transmissions
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is a type of hydraulic fluid used in vehicles with automatic transmissions. It is typically coloured red or green to distinguish it from motor oil and other fluids in the vehicle.
Surface-mount packaging that uses an array of solder balls
A ball grid array (BGA) is a type of surface-mount packaging used for integrated circuits. BGA packages are used to permanently mount devices such as microprocessors. A BGA can provide more interconnection pins than can be put on a dual in-line or flat package. The whole bottom surface of the device can be used, instead of just the perimeter. The traces connecting the package's leads to the wires or balls which connect the die to package are also on average shorter than with a perimeter-only type, leading to better performance at high speeds.
Atmospheric electrical phenomenon
Ball lightning is a rare and unexplained phenomenon described as luminescent, spherical objects that vary from pea-sized to several meters in diameter. Though usually associated with thunderstorms, the observed phenomenon is reported to last considerably longer than the split-second flash of a lightning bolt, and is a phenomenon distinct from St. Elmo's fire.
Species of constricting snake
The ball python, also called the royal python, is a python species native to West and Central Africa, where it lives in grasslands, shrublands and open forests. This nonvenomous constrictor is the smallest of the African pythons, growing to a maximum length of 182 cm (72 in). The name ball python refers to its tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened.
Flow control device
A ball valve is a flow control device which uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control fluid flowing through it. It is open when the hole through the middle of the ball is in line with the flow inlet, and closed when it is pivoted 90 degrees by the valve handle, blocking the flow. The handle lies flat in alignment with the flow when open, and is perpendicular to it when closed, making for easy visual confirmation of the valve's status. The shut position 1/4 turn could be in either clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
Video game series
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi is a series of fighting games developed by Spike based on the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. The series was published by Namco Bandai Games under the Bandai brand name in Japan and Europe, and as Atari in North America and Australia from 2005 to 2007. Atari's PAL distribution network was absorbed into Bandai Namco Partners and Bandai Namco has also handled publishing in North America for future Dragon Ball Z games since 2010, effectively ending Atari's involvement.
Valve that regulates the flow or pressure of a fluid
A flow control valve regulates the flow or pressure of a fluid. Control valves normally respond to signals generated by independent devices such as flow meters or temperature gauges.
Basketball term
A jump ball is a method used to begin or resume play in basketball. It is similar to a face-off in ice hockey and field lacrosse and a ball-up in Australian rules football. Two opposing players attempt to gain control of the ball after an official tosses it into the air between them.
