A low-volume non-rising stem gate valve comprising a hollow stem, planetary roller screw and anti-rotation rods. The anti-rotation rods isolate the torque force and maintain the alignment of the planetary roller screw with the stem and the screw shaft, thus reducing the amount of material necessary to support ordinary operational forces.

Control valves including valve trim having relative movement between the bonnet and the cage. A control valve includes a valve body including an inlet, an outlet, and a flow passage connecting the inlet and the outlet. The control valve includes a cage disposed in the flow passage. The control valve includes a control element disposed in the flow passage and shiftable between a first position and a second position. The control valve includes a bonnet securable to the valve body and disposed adjacent the cage. The bonnet is adapted to receive a portion of the cage. The control valve includes a coupling formed between the bonnet and the cage that allows movement between the bonnet and the cage.

A valve cover lock assembly for a pump having a fluid end module can include a ring adapted to couple to the module, an insert comprising a plurality of segments, and a cone adapted to couple with the insert, wherein the ring comprises a first coupler and the insert comprises a second coupler configured to couple with the first coupler, wherein the cone is configured to move one or more of the plurality of segments when the cone is moved, and wherein the first and second couplers are adapted to at least partially resist movement of the insert. A method of locking a valve cover can include coupling a ring to a valve cover opening, disposing an insert comprising a plurality of segments at least partially within the ring, coupling an actuator to the insert, and coupling the insert to the ring.

A vacuum-based energy-saving large-capacity precision pressure regulation valve includes a base valve seat, a middle valve seat, and a pressure regulation seat. The base valve seat includes a main channel that receives a primary-side pressure and a secondary-side pressure to flow therein and includes a valve port piston arranged in the base valve seat to form a valve port opening. The valve port piston is rotatably coupled to a sealing straight rod that is coupled to a main diaphragm. The main diaphragm is clamped between the middle valve seat and the base valve seat to form a vacuum pressure chamber. A balance diaphragm is clamped between the middle valve seat and the pressure regulation seat. An atmosphere passage is connected to a space below the balance diaphragm. A guide passage and a feedback passage are in communication with the vacuum pressure chamber and the main channel.

An inflation valve is provided and includes a valve defining main and command cavities and including first and second valve portions and a valve seat defining an outlet, a poppet disposed in the main cavity and including first and second rods to engage with the first valve portion and to extend through the valve seat and the second valve portion, respectively, and a piston disposed in the command cavity and a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve normally prevents main cavity-command cavity fluid flow to engage the poppet with the valve seat by fluid pressure acting on the poppet in the main cavity and permits the main cavity-command cavity fluid flow when energized to disengage the poppet from the valve seat by balanced fluid pressure acting on the poppet in the main cavity and on the piston in the command cavity to permit main cavity-outlet fluid flow.

A valve control is configured for use with control valves and other flow controls. The valve control leverages a simplified structure to avoid problems with manufacture and reduce costs. This structure includes a support unit that compresses parts of a valve housing together. Inside of the valve housing, the structure incorporates diaphragms that cause a pair of balanced valves to move in response to changes in pressure of fluid in a conduit. For industrial application, the valve control finds use to maintain pressure of natural gas in pipelines downstream from a control valve.
