Axial
 Body design
A streamlined body with constant sectional area, offers a very reduced coefficient resistance and gives larger Cv values for the
same sizes.
Fluid is channeled into an annular path between the inner and outer bodies until it reaches the characterized cage.
Smooth changes in flow direction and no turbulences contribute to lower noise levels.

The high capacity, combined with the large rangeability, make our axial valve to be acknowledged as the ideal design to control over
the full range of process conditions with a single valve.
As an option extended body neck is offered for cryogenic operations.
Low emission is guaranteed by the O-ring seals combined with back-up packing.
Distance between flanges is in accordance with ISA 75.03 when data are available or API 6D for larger sizes.
Actuator flanges are machined according to ISO 5211 or other standards.
All types of quarter turn actuator are easily mounted.
Casted range from 4” to 48” and ratings from 150# to 2500#.
Forged three pieces for sizes below 4” and pressures above 2500#.
Constant flow passage area ensures the maximum possible capacity
for on-off application due to reduction of the K resistance coefficient.

Trim design
Advantages of stem guided plug:
- Can be used for on-off application without cage in order to achieve high capacity.
- Control is performed by hole pattern.
- Possibility of using multi-cage designs to perform multistage pressure reduction of high noise/cavitation conditions.
- Availability of balanced plugs, to reduce the required actuator torque.
-The inner chamber, wich includes the transmission system is pressure balanced, due to that no fluid movement is occurring
inside this area.
- Bearings of transmission mechanism are protected against particles by a cover.

Drive Mechanism Design

- Multiplier effect reduces force torque and actuator size.

- It is not affected by dirt, impurities or fluid conditions.
- No gap, low friction bushings in crank and rod junctions assure a smooth, no backlash movement of the plug.
-The drive mechanism is designed to multiply the actuator force applied to the plug when it is needed. This feature makes it pos-
sible to select lower torque, smaller size actuator and reduce operating times.
-Additionally it improves the valve inherent rangeability. At the beginning of the opening a large angle of rotation means a small
change in the stroke of the plug. Good for start-up conditions with small cv values.
-All together it combines to give smooth,
accurate fast operation of the valve with
smaller size actuator and enhanced ran-
geability.
Main features of our rotary to linear drive
mechanism are:
- Low friction sealing of rotating shaft
-Low friction bearings in the transmission
of movement, from shaft to plug stem.
-Plug, guided by the stem is fully balanced
in both axial and radial directions and gives
no friction to cage.
-Multiplier effect that reduces the required
actuation force.
-Maximum force is delivered when it is
most needed at opening and closing.
- All the above combine to greatly reduce It can be seen in the graph the comparison of a linear to linear axial flow control valve versus the
the torque, the size of the actuator and the Ringo linear to rotary axial flow control valve. Fluid required force at closing position can be
several times higher than in all other stroke points. The rotary axial flow valve from Ringo
operating time.
provides force required reduction at closing position, which is when more is needed. With the
consequence of a reduced actuator size for the same process conditions.

Additional advantages of our driving mechanism are:

Notable
dimension
Standard 90º rotary, pneumatic or electric actuator of any manufac- difference
turer can be used. Hysteresis reduced due to perfect adjustment in
mechanism (minimum clearance). Reduced fugitive emissions, due to
the benefits of a rotary stem versus linear stem.
Excellent behavior in dirty fluids. Stem guided design allows increa-
sing the gap between cage and plug when media includes particles. In
addition, all the connections between their components are protected
9
against particles.

RAX flow valves
 03 Cages Types
We have a complete range of characterized cages to cope with the problems resulting from
high pressure drop applications.
Selection of proper internals type allows cavitation supression as well as noise reduction.

Large valve capacity and increased rangeability cages permit the use of one single valve for all
process conditions.

On-off applications
Largest flow capacity of axial valves in the market.
As example a 16” 600# valve has been tested to give a Cv value of
12.445, compared with 9.325 and lower values of other manufacturers
for the same size and pressure class. Therefore we can achieve either
smaller size valves or lower pressure drop.
As an alternative a reduced travel will allow smaller actuator and
shorter operating time.

Control applications
A variety of single or multiple cages are available to cope with the most stringent requirements in critical applications, such as
suppressing cavitation or reducing noise.
Extensive experience in the manufacture of heavy duty control valves has been successfully applied to axial control valves.
Linear, equal percent or other characteristic on request, standard or low noise,
10 Single double and multiple stage cages or discs, giving recovery factors (FL) as high as 0,99 to cope with the most critical service
conditions.
