Butterfly valves are flow control devices that consist of a round or oval disc (the “butterfly”) mounted on a shaft. They are commonly used to regulate the flow of fluids in a variety of industrial systems, including water, air, gases, chemicals and other fluids.
Handwheel drive is one of the ways to control the position of the butterfly valve. The handwheel is connected directly to the valve shaft and can be manually turned to open, close or adjust the butterfly position. This type of drive is commonly used in situations where valve adjustment does not need to be done frequently or where automation is not required.
Handwheel actuated butterfly valves are known for their simplicity, reliability and ease of operation. They are often found in industrial systems where it is necessary to control the flow of liquids or gases manually.
