Gear Operated Butterfly Valves

A gear operated butterfly valve uses a gear mechanism to assist in opening and closing the valve, significantly reducing the amount of torque (manual force) required to operate it. This makes the valve easier to use, especially in larger sizes or high-pressure systems. The gear mechanism provides a mechanical advantage through gear reduction, allowing for smoother and more precise control of the valve position. The most common type of gear mechanism used is the worm gear mechanism.

Gear operated butterfly valves are typically used for manual operation of large-size valves, generally 6 inches and above, and often feature a handwheel for user-friendly operation.
