IW Quarter-turn Gear Series

Features

Options

Totally enclosed gearing

Ductile Iron

The IW series of quadrant worm operators has been

designed with customer stocking in mind, and features
a removable steel output sleeve to facilitate bore and
keyway machining. This separate output sleeve can be
positioned through 90 steps on the IW3 & through
45 steps on the IW4 to IW11. The baseplate can be
positioned through 45 steps on the IW3 to IW5 and
through 22.5 steps on the IW6 to IW12. This facility
allows for on or off centre mounting on the valve stool
without special machining.

Operating temperature normally ranges from -40

to +120 C, although other temperature ranges are
available on request. Standard input (for actuation
purposes) and output flanges are to ISO 5211 standard.
However, equivalent standards such as MSS & DIN can
be supplied.
Application
Rotork Gears IW series operators are quarter-turn
devices intended for the operation of ball, plug and
butterfly valves as well as power and process dampers.
The gearboxes are suitable for manual and motorised
applications.
