Collection:SMC Mechanical And Manual Operated Valves

SMC Mechanical And Manual Operated Valves offer a wide range of control solutions for fluid and gas systems. These valves are designed to regulate flow, pressure, and direction in various industrial applications. Manual valves provide operators with direct control, allowing for precise adjustments and immediate response to system requirements. Mechanical valves, on the other hand, utilize mechanical inputs such as levers, pedals, or cams to actuate the valve mechanism.

The product line includes ball valves, butterfly valves, gate valves, and globe valves, each suited for specific flow control needs. Ball valves offer quick shut-off capabilities and are ideal for on/off applications. Butterfly valves provide efficient flow regulation in large diameter pipes. Gate valves excel in applications requiring minimal flow restriction when fully open, while globe valves offer precise flow control and are commonly used in throttling applications.

When selecting a valve, consider factors such as the medium being controlled, operating pressure and temperature, required flow characteristics, and the frequency of operation. The material of construction is crucial for ensuring compatibility with the process fluid and environmental conditions. Additionally, the valve's size and connection type must match the existing piping system for proper installation and optimal performance.

These valves are engineered for durability and reliability, with many featuring corrosion-resistant materials and robust sealing mechanisms to prevent leakage. Some models offer options for locking mechanisms, ensuring safety in critical applications. Whether for industrial processes, HVAC systems, or water treatment facilities, SMC's mechanical and manual operated valves provide essential control functions to maintain system efficiency and safety.
