Hand operated spur gearbox
19 October 2015
The new HOS/MPR multi-turn spur gearboxes from Rotork Gears are designed for the manual operation of gate, globe, sluice and penstock valves with torque demands from 508Nm to 15,917Nm

These rugged gearboxes can be installed above or underground with upward or downward input orientation. The totally enclosed, maintenance-free spur gearing is grease lubricated for life and designed with carefully chosen ratios to meet manual rim effort requirements. A range of handwheels is available with rim diameters between 200mm and 1000mm.
The standard IP67 dust and watertight enclosure can be increased to IP68 (Continuous submerged duty at depth of 15 metres) and an ISO 10497 firesafe option is also available.
