摘要： In a step motor driven cam valve a stem freely ascends and descends within a body having an in-flow passage, an out-flow passage, a valve chamber, and a valve seat. The stem is descended by an actuator, composed of a step motor and a cam mechanism located at a position above the stem, that changes a rotational motion of the step motor to a linear motion and transmits the linear motion to the stem. A diaphragm within a valve chamber or a valve body at a lower end part of the stem rests on the valve seat. A lift support mechanism that supports the actuator to freely ascend and descend is arranged at a bonnet that covers the valve chamber. A height fine-adjustment mechanism, arranged at the lift supporting mechanism, finely adjusts the height of the actuator relative to the stem so as to perform zero-point adjustment of the valve.

摘要： With a pressure type flow control apparatus, a valve on the downstream side of a throttle mechanism is released and a flow rate setting value Qe inputted to the pressure type flow control apparatus is changed to detect the magnitude ΔV of change of a flow rate output signal Qo from the pressure type flow control apparatus while the flow rate setting value Qe is changed, so that normal functioning of the releasing operations of the valve on the downstream side of the throttle mechanism is confirmed when the magnitude ΔV of change of the flow rate output signal Qo is above the predetermined value. If the releasing operations are malfunctioning, the magnitude ΔV of changes is found to be below the predetermined value.
