An orbit ball valve is a specialized type of valve designed for critical applications where tight sealing and durability are paramount. Unlike conventional ball valves, the orbit ball valve operates with a unique camming and tilting mechanism that ensures the ball does not rub against the seat during operation. This non-rubbing design minimizes wear and tear, making the valve ideal for handling abrasive, high-pressure, and high-temperature applications. The valve's mechanism lifts the ball away from the seat before rotation, ensuring a longer lifespan and reliable sealing even after extended use.

An orbit ball valve operates using a unique cam and lever mechanism that distinguishes it from traditional ball valves. When the valve is actuated, the ball is first lifted away from the seat before it begins to rotate. This ensures there is no friction or rubbing between the ball and the seat during operation, reducing wear and extending the valve's lifespan. Once the ball is fully rotated, it is lowered back into place to create a tight seal against the seat, ensuring leak-proof performance. This design is especially advantageous in applications where the media contains solids, is highly abrasive, or operates at high pressures and temperatures. The non-rubbing mechanism not only minimizes wear but also prevents the seat from being damaged, making the orbit valve a reliable choice for critical operations in industries like oil and gas, petrochemicals, and power plants.
