Acrodyne’s exclusive range of Acro-Gear heavy duty worm and bevel gear operators now come standard with another outstanding feature: Ingress protection rating of IP68 for submersible duty!
This new feature is an asset in any installation situation, allowing the gear operater to resist varying weather conditions which may be encountered during service, such as rain and dust ingress.

Available from Acrodyne the Acro-Gears Aunspach Torque Master Handwheel Overtorque Protector, was developed after observing that many valves and actuators are damaged each year by excess operating torque. The company says a one-time “Insurance Premium” of an amount typically less than 1% of the installed valve/actuator value will prevent over-torque damage for the life of the valve/ actuator.
The Limitorque MT series available from Acrodyne is a superior combination of a bevel gear operator torque housing with a new thrust base design ideally suited for torque-seated valve applications and applications involving elevated process temperatures. Both the bevel gear and the thrust base housings are of ductile iron.
