Electric Actuated Triple Offset Butterfly Valve

Jan 28, 2026 Leave a message

The electric triple-eccentric butterfly valve is a long-life, energy-saving type of electric butterfly valve. Its structure is designed using a three-dimensional core-forming principle, and the valve seat employs a multi-layered structure compatible with both hard and soft seals, exhibiting exquisite manufacturing processes. The electric triple-eccentric butterfly valve consists of main components such as the valve body, butterfly plate, multi-layered valve seat, valve stem, and transmission mechanism.

The electric metal-seated butterfly valve is equipped with an angular stroke electric actuator that can directly receive 4-20mA DC or 1-5V DC control signals from computers or industrial instruments. Based on the deviation between the valve position feedback signal and the set value, it intelligently adjusts the step distance of the actuator drive motor (PID control) to achieve precise positioning of the valve or other device opening, while simultaneously outputting a 4-20mA DC position feedback signal.

Therefore, electric metal-seated butterfly valves are widely used in automation control in metallurgy, power, petroleum, chemical, air, gas, combustible gas, and water supply and drainage industries.

electric triple-eccentric butterfly valve Structure:

Eccentricity Principle

First Eccentricity: The valve shaft is offset from the center of the butterfly plate, reducing friction between the butterfly plate and the valve seat during opening and closing.

Second Eccentricity: The valve shaft is offset from the center of the valve body sealing surface, achieving rapid disengagement during opening and closing.

Third Eccentricity: The valve seat sealing surface is tilted at a certain angle (conical eccentricity), ensuring a line seal between the butterfly plate and the valve seat, forming a metal-to-metal hard seal structure.

Three-Dimensional Eccentricity Effect: Through valve stem axis offset, valve body channel axis offset, and eccentricity angle design, zero-friction contact of the sealing surface is achieved, eliminating mechanical wear and scratches during opening and closing.

Key Components

Butterfly Plate: Made of cobalt-based hard alloy or stainless steel with weld overlay, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant. Large-size butterfly plates use a truss structure for enhanced strength.

Valve Seat: Multi-stage structure combining metallic and non-metallic materials (such as stainless steel + flexible graphite), adaptable to high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive media.

Sealing ring: A combination of soft and hard layered stainless steel sheets and flexible graphite, combining the characteristics of both hard metal seals and elastic seals, supporting bidirectional self-locking seals.

Drive unit: Supports multiple methods including electric, manual, worm gear drive, and pneumatic operation, and can be installed in multiple positions (rotating 90° or 180°).
