Description
An Akron trunnion threaded is a specific type of trunnion used in Akron ball valves. A trunnion, in general, is a cylindrical part that supports another object, allowing it to pivot or rotate. In ball valves, the trunnion is the shaft that the ball valve’s ball rotates on.
Akron trunnion threaded specifically refers to trunnions that have threads on one or both ends. These threads allow the trunnion to be screwed into the valve body and other components. This type of trunnion is commonly used in larger ball valves, where the increased strength and stability provided by the threads are necessary.
