D87 Valve Overtorque Protectors

Manufacturer: Aunspach

Model D87 Valve Overtorque Protectors TM protect water distribution and other valves from damage caused by excess operating torque. The high costs of excavation, valve repair or replacement, system downtime and traffic disruption are eliminated.

Application

Valves and other equipment driven by manual gearboxes or electric actuators.

Operation

Operating torque is applied to either end of the D87. The torque is transmitted through the D87 mechanism and into the valve or actuator. If excessive torque is applied, the D87 drive will disengage and prevent damage. Operation is the same in either direction of rotation. Re-engagement is automatic with further rotation in either direction.

Standard Models

Model D87-250
