Mechanical Actuators Overview
Gearboxes & Valve Gear Operators Susin Group’s gearboxes and valve gear operators are designed to provide the necessary mechanical advantage for manual or motorized valve operation, especially when dealing with large valves or high torque requirements. They offer smooth torque transmission with durable construction suited for harsh industrial environments.
Product Range
• Worm Gearboxes:
Compact units providing high reduction ratios, ideal for increasing torque output while maintaining a small footprint. They feature self-locking capabilities to hold valves in position without additional brakes.
• Bevel Gear Operators:
Provide efficient right-angle torque transmission with low backlash. Suitable for applications requiring compact installation and smooth operation.
• Manual and Motorized Gear Operators:
Options for manual override to motorized systems, ensuring continuous operation during power outages or system failures.
Technical Highlights
• Torque capacity: From 100 Nm to over 50,000 Nm
• Materials: High-strength cast iron, stainless steel, and hardened steel gears
• Mounting: Flange and shaft interfaces customizable to industry standards (ISO, DIN, ANSI)
• Sealing: IP65/IP67 rated for dust and water protection
Benefits
• High torque multiplication for large valves
• Robust, corrosion-resistant materials for long service life
• Low maintenance with sealed lubrication
• Flexible installation options with manual override capability
Typical Applications
• Large gate, globe, and ball valves in water, oil & gas
• Power plant damper controls
• Steel and heavy manufacturing industries
• Mining and mineral processing
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1: What types of gearboxes do you offer?
