Technologies are described for dual motion shutoff valve assemblies. In various examples, valve assemblies include a sequencing drive mechanism and an eccentric shaft mechanism operable to linearly retract the valve disk from a gasket surface to effectively reduce scratching and friction of the gasket surface during valve opening and closing operations. In some examples, the sequencing drive may include two interlocking concentric driver rings, a retaining housing, and roller lock pins. Three guided pins of the sequencing drive may be configured to prevent the valve from rotating, while also causing the valve to retract linearly from the gasket surface via the eccentric shaft. Following retraction, an inner driver of the sequencing drive may allow the roller lock pins to move and lock the outer driver, which in turn may lock the valve disk to the shaft and rotate along with the shaft, which may be a single or dual shaft.

A valve component for a valve, the valve comprises a valve housing defining a hollow bore along which flowable material may flow. The valve component comprises a valve member movable between a valve open position for the valve member to open the hollow bore and a valve closed position for the valve member to close the hollow bore, and a valve control mechanism including a drive member configured to be operable to move the valve member between the valve open position and the valve closed position, the drive member operable to rotate the valve member between the valve open position and a valve intermediate position and to linearly move the valve member between the valve intermediate position and the valve closed position.

Provided is a butterfly valve configured so that the sealing performance of the butterfly valve is ensured even if the butterfly valve is exposed to high-temperature fluid and is installed in a high radiation environment. A butterfly valve has: a valve body-side valve seat section which is formed on the outer periphery of a valve body; a valve box-side valve seat section which is formed on a valve box; and a valve movement mechanism which, as a valve shaft pivots, moves the valve body in the direction of extension of a flow passage, between a blocking position at which the valve body-side valve seat section and the valve box-side valve seat section are in contact with each other to close a flow passage, and an open position at which the valve body-side valve seat section and the valve box-side valve seat section are separated from each other to open the flow passage. The valve body-side valve seat section is formed from a laminated material comprising a stainless steel plate and a plate-shaped body which consists of expanded graphite.

A vacuum valve, having a valve seat including a valve opening (axis (A)), and a first sealing surface around the valve opening and defines a first sealing plane (E.sub.S), having a valve disk with a second sealing surface corresponding to the first sealing surface and defining a second sealing plane (E.sub.T), additionally having a first coupling element, connected to the valve disk and comprising a receiving means and a drive unit coupled with the first coupling element and is configured to provide the valve disk adjustable from an open position to a closed position. The drive unit and the valve disk are configured to provide a fine control position, wherein the valve disk is tilted relative to the valve seat where E.sub.S and E.sub.T enclose a defined angle (α), and the seal abuts fully against one of the two sealing surfaces and in part against the other sealing surface.

There is provided a shut-off valve including: a valve body part having a valve body surface; a valve seat part provided around an inlet, and having a valve seat surface disposed at a position opposite to the valve body surface; and a moving mechanism that is connected to the valve body part, and moves the valve body part in a direction of an axis to switch to either a shut-off state or a circulation state, wherein the valve seat part has an endless inner peripheral side projection and an endless outer peripheral side projection that project from the valve seat surface toward the valve body surface along the axis, and the valve body part has a diaphragm forming the valve body surface, and an elastic member disposed on a back surface of the diaphragm.

A butterfly valve includes a valve body with an internal flow passage extending in a direction of a flow passage axis, a disk-shaped valve member supported in the internal flow passage rotatably about a rotation axis perpendicular to the flow passage axis and having a spherical valve seat surface in an outer peripheral portion, an annular recessed portion surrounding the internal flow passage on the side surface of the valve body in a direction of the flow passage axis, and a seat ring attached to the annular recessed portion such that a valve seat portion provided in an inner peripheral edge portion thereof projects into the inner flow passage. The valve seat portion has a triangular cross section and is formed such that a bisector of a vertex angle in the triangular cross section of valve seat portion is perpendicular to a tangential line to the valve seat surface.

A valve arrangement includes a valve body having a stem rotatably attached at least partially within the body, a handle in operable communication with the stem and configured to rotate the stem by turning the handle, and an actuation portion in contact with the stem and configured to move when the handle is turned and the stem rotated. The actuation portion includes a carrier having an inner bore. The inner bore receives at least a portion of the stem. The stem includes first and second thread portions. The first thread portion has a first thread pitch at least partially received within the inner bore. The second thread portion is in communication with a bonnet attached to the body with a second thread pitch and moves the stem with respect to the body. The second pitch is smaller than the first pitch.
