  • Publication number: 20240110637
    Abstract: A valve device includes a valve rod connecting a valve main body and a piston and capable of advancing and retracting in a first direction integrally with the valve main body and the piston, a rotary sleeve rotatably supported on a valve casing in a first circumferential direction around a first center axis, an operation member configured to rotate an operation shaft in a second circumferential direction, an advancing and retracting sleeve immovably fixed to the valve rod and the piston, and a stopper member configured to restrict an amount of movement of the advancing and retracting sleeve toward a first side in the first direction. The operation shaft is connected to the rotary sleeve such that a rotation of the operation shaft in the second circumferential direction can be converted into a rotation in the first circumferential direction and transmitted to the rotary sleeve.
