A tapping armature for liquid containers, in particular for being connected to the outlet port or the outlet opening of a transport and storage container for liquids, the tapping armature comprising an armature housing in which a valve body pivotable by means of a valve shaft and serving to open and close a flow cross section of an outlet tube is disposed, a connection end of the valve shaft for being connected to the valve body being disposed in the outlet tube of the armature housing and an operating end of the valve shaft protruding from the armature housing through a housing dome formed on the armature housing. A form-fitting engagement is established between the housing dome and a valve shaft portion housed in the housing dome in order to axially secure the valve shaft in the armature housing.

A unibody valve comprising a valve body including a first end and a second end spaced apart along a longitudinal axis, a central portion disposed between the first end and the second end, wherein the first end and the second end define a first flow passageway and a second flow passageway, respectively, and wherein the central portion defines an interior chamber, and a disc disposed within the interior chamber, wherein the interior chamber includes an enlarged side portion positioned outside of the at least one of the first flow passageway and the second flow passageway projected along the longitudinal axis, wherein the disc is disposed in the enlarged side portion when in an open position.

A throttle body or actuator for an engine, comprising a main body which defines at least one supply duct having a through lumen for a gas mixture, a choke valve placed inside said supply duct so as to modify said through lumen. The choke valve is provided with an occluding body connected to a control shaft, at least partially housed in a seat in the main body. The control shaft, inside the seat and on the side of the occluding body, is provided with a first gasket adapted to prevent the penetration of dirt and gas from the supply duct. Downstream of the first gasket, on the side of the control shaft, at least one vent is provided, adapted to allow the expulsion, outside the seat, of any gas which has leaked through the first gasket.

A wastegate assembly for a turbocharger having a turbine casing has a wastegate flap, a wastegate flap lever, a wastegate spindle and a bearing bush for the wastegate spindle. In addition, the wastegate assembly has a sealing unit formed from a soft-material volume sealing ring and a diaphragm spring that contacts the volume sealing ring.

A valve for a clean in place system is described. The valve includes an inlet portion, an outlet portion including a first outlet and a second outlet, and a flow diverter positioned between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The flow diverter includes a planar portion sized to extend across the first and second outlets, and a cylindrical portion defining an opening. The valve also includes a first seal between the inlet portion and the outlet portion, and an actuator for moving the flow diverter between a first position to form a first flow path in which the inlet is fluidly connected to the first outlet, and a second position to form a second flow path in which the inlet is fluidly connected to the second outlet. The valve includes multiple seals fluidly connected to the flow path to enable the valve to be cleaned in place.

Actuator bushings having integral seals are described herein. An example apparatus includes a bushing having a central bore to receive a stem and an annular groove at an end of the bushing. The annular groove surrounds the bore to define a flexible ring to form a seal against the stem.

A shaft sealing device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a flow passage pipe, a rotating portion, a valve, a shaft seal, and a flow passage seal. The flow passage pipe includes a gas flow passage therein, and a through hole that communicates an interior of the flow passage with an exterior of the flow passage. The rotating portion is inserted into and held in the through hole, and rotates about a rotation axis that is preset. The valve opens and closes at least one portion of the flow passage in accordance with rotation of the rotating portion. The shaft seal is arranged along an outer circumference of the rotating portion and protrudes therefrom. The flow passage seal is arranged between the flow passage pipe and the rotating portion, and surrounds the rotating portion to have a linear contact with the shaft seal.
