Declutchable Gear Override

Declutchable Gear Override

The Declutchable Gear Override “Sandwich Mounts” between a pneumatic quarter-turn actuator and a ball, butterfly, plug or damper valve. This rugged device allows for manual operation during installation, system testing and in the event of an air supply failure.

The DGO Series mounts directly to many of the most popular rack and pinion style actuators on the market, and does not require a bracket between the pneumatic actuator and declutchable override. The units come complete with a three-stage coupler that connects to the pneumatic actuator through the gear override and to the valve (or coupler).

Output torques cover a broad range of pneumatic actuator and quarter-turn valve sizes that require the convenience of a manual override.

FEATURES:

  • There are 2 Industry Standard Mounting Patterns:
    • 3RDGO – Matches the ISO 5211 dimensions
    • 3KDGO – Matches the Keystone 3.25 and 5.00 bolt patterns
  • 3 Stage Coupler (Actuator, Gear, Valve)
  • Rugged Declutch Lever and Engagement Handle
  • BBV – Block and Bleed Valve to exhaust air supply from actuator
