  • Patent number: 9466695
    Abstract: A valve is provided with a casing forming an enclosure for fluid flow with a fluid inlet and outlet, a shutter cooperating with a seat integral with the casing that closes the inlet or outlet, and a device controlling the shutter position relative to the seat. The control device includes an inductor and armature magnetically coupled for the inductor to drive the armature in rotation to selectively cause the shutter to move closer to or to move away from the seat, with the inductor being stationary relative to the casing. The armature is positioned inside the enclosure and is stationary relative to a screw carrying the shutter, with the screw cooperating with a nut integral with the casing to transform a rotation of the armature into a translation of the shutter.
