Every ORBIT valve features a proven tilt-and-turn mechanism that eliminates seal rubbing—the leading cause of valve failure. In the closed position, the core is mechanically wedged tightly against the seat, ensuring a secure, leak-free shutoff. As the valve begins to open, the core tilts away from the seat, allowing line flow to distribute evenly around the core face. This design prevents localized high-velocity flow, a common issue in conventional ball, gate, and plug valves that leads to uneven seat wear. The core then smoothly rotates to the fully open position.Because there is no seal rubbing during operation, ORBIT valves offer low-torque, easy operation and long-term, reliable performance. When absolute shutoff is critical, Cameron’s ORBIT technology provides the trusted solution for dependable, leak-free performance.
