Rotork’s compact 242 Series manual gear operators are entering deployment in China. The company received orders from China Valves Hanwei for an undisclosed natural gas project. The 242 Series manual quarter-turn gear operators are ideal for low-torque applications. They feature a cast iron IP67 watertight enclosure, a ductile iron wormwheel, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) thrustwashers, and adjustable end stop screws. Rotork says the gear operators are suitable for operating ball, butterfly, and plug valves.
