What Is A Plug Valve?

 What Is A Plug Valve?


Plug Valve is a closing or plunger-shaped rotary valve, which is opened or closed by rotating 90 degrees so that the passageway on the plug is connected with or separated from the passageway on the valve body.



The shape of the plug valve can be cylindrical or conical. In the cylindrical valve plug, the channel is generally rectangular; In a tapered valve plug, the channel is trapezoid. These shapes make the construction of the plug valve lightweight. It is most suitable as a cutting and switching medium and a shunt application, but depending on the nature of the application and the erosion resistance of the sealing surface, it can sometimes be used for throttling.

The plug body of the plug valve rotates with the valve stem to realize the opening and closing action. The small unpacked plug valve is also called "cock". The plug valve is one of the earliest valves used, with simple structure, fast switching and small fluid resistance.

In addition, the plug valve is easy to adapt to multi-channel construction, so that a valve can obtain two, three, or even four different flow channels. This simplifies the design of the piping system, reduces the number of valves and some of the connections required in the equipment. The Marine plug valve is usually located between the intake manifold and the injector and is mounted on the high-pressure oil line of the engine.

What is a stern tube?

图片
  What is a stern tube? A  stern tube  is a tubular structure in a ship  shaft  used to support and protect the stern shaft. The task of the stern tube device is to support the stern shaft or propeller shaft and allow it to reliably vent out of the ship, while preventing a large amount of outboard water from leaking into the ship and oil leakage. The stern tube  is generally welded directly on the hull structure in the form of cast steel parts, and the bearings are pressed forward and back after processing or using the flexible pouring type of finished products, and then the propeller shaft is installed in the stern shaft tube. The operation and load bearing of the propeller shaft are borne by the stern shaft tube and its bearing. Stern tube is an important part of Marine propulsion system, its manufacturing process and material quality directly affect the performance and safety of the ship. Therefore, there are very high requirements for the manufacture an...

What Is Stern Shaft Covering Sleeve?

图片
  What Is Stern Shaft Covering Sleeve? The stern shaft covering sleeve  is a device that protects the stern shaft of a ship, usually installed at the tail of the ship, covering the stern  shaft . Its main function is to prevent the tail shaft from being corroded and worn by water and other substances, thus extending the service life of the tail shaft. The stern shaft covering sleeve  is usually made of a metal material, such as cast iron or cast steel, but can also be made of a wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant synthetic material. The inside of the stern shaft covering sleeve is usually filled with lubricating oil or preservatives to reduce the friction and wear of the stern shaft. At the same time, in order to better fix the cladding sleeve, fasteners such as bolts are usually used to fix it to the hull. The use of the covered sleeve of the stern shaft can effectively reduce the maintenance and replacement frequency of the stern shaft and improve the operating eff...

Cycloid Reducer Features

  Cycloid Reducer Features Cycloid reducer  has the following characteristics: Compact structure and small size:  due to the use of planetary transmission principle, the input shaft and output shaft are on the same axis line, so that the model can be as small as possible. ​ High transmission efficiency, low noise:  cycloidal needle tooth meshing multi-tooth contact, the contact stress is smaller than the straight tooth cylindrical gear, so the  bearing  life is longer when used. In addition, the tooth type is circular arc, which has less friction, less heat, high transmission efficiency and low noise than the point contact of the straight teeth. Simple maintenance:  cycloidal pinwheel reducer in the application can be configured within 40 degrees of any transmission Angle, for more than 40 degrees of transmission choose bipolar  transmission box . Long service life:  Due to the design of oil bath lubrication and seal cover design, the oil poo...
