  • Patent number: 8746658
    Abstract: A coaxial valve for regulating and blocking a fluid medium having a valve housing having at least one inlet opening, at least one outlet opening and a flow duct connecting the inlet opening to the outlet opening; a tubular valve sleeve disposed in an axially movable manner in a portion of the flow duct and having an inflow and an outflow opening for the medium, wherein the inflow and outflow openings open into the flow duct; a closure member disposed in the valve housing and arranged coaxially with the valve sleeve and configured to close the inflow opening; and a drive configured to axially move the valve sleeve and having an electric servomotor and a transmission part coupled between the servomotor and the valve sleeve, the transmission part configured to transmit an axial movement to the valve sleeve.

  • Patent number: 7322560
    Abstract: A coaxial valve includes a valve box having an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and a common flow channel. An axially movable cylindrical valve casing has an opening for a fluid inlet port and an opening for a fluid outlet port, both of which are joined up in the flow channel. A coaxially positioned shutoff mechanism located inside the valve box closes off the inlet port or the outlet port of the valve casing. To provide for axial movement, the valve casing has at least one external circular groove. The drive casing has at least one inner circular groove, which is adapted to the outer circular groove so that the inner and outer grooves are engaged, via inside ball bearings, to create a ball planetary gear and ball rotary spindle drive. The drive casing is turnable and forced to turn by a drive motor inside of the valve box.

  • Publication number: 20070007476
    Abstract: A coaxial valve includes a valve box having at least one inlet opening, at least one outlet opening, and a common flow channel. A cylindrical valve casing, which is prevented from turning at one segment of the flow channel, but is intended to be axially movable, features an opening for a fluid inlet port as well as an opening for a fluid outlet port, both of which are joined up in the flow channel. A shutoff mechanism is located inside the valve box, is positioned coaxially to the valve casing, and is designed to close off the inlet port or the outlet port of the valve casing. To provide for axial movement, the valve casing, at least in sections at its outermost surface, has at least one external circular groove. The valve casing, at the segment of the external circular groove, is enclosed by a drive casing which is coaxial to the valve casing.
