ABSTRACT:
A motor-operated valve has a rotor unit in a can, and is rotationally driven by a stator unit. The rotation of the rotor unit is transmitted to a screw feed member. A stem member fixed to a valve body is engaged threadedly with the screw feed member by a first screw portion. At the same time, the screw feed member is engaged threadedly with an external thread portion fixed to a valve stem by the second screw portion. The first screw portion and the second screw portion constitute a differential screw mechanism, and feeds the valve stem according to a difference in pitch.
