What is a constricting actuator called?

Question

I'm looking for search terms, I'd like to find something like an electric hose clamp - a high-force, low-power, low-speed, motorized constricting mechanism.

I already googled some terms various combinations of constricting constrictor mechanism mechanical actuator squeezing -snake, have not been fruitful. Is there a term I am missing?

This is called a throttle. More generally it is a control system.
There is a vast range of literature on throttles so you could ask for an aviation throttle, a engine throttle, or basically anything that involves regulated flow.
