INTRODUCTION
Flow-Tek’s FTG Series Manual Gear Operators were designed to
handle the toughest applications and provide years of trouble-
free service and reliability.
The FTG Series gear operators feature a ductile iron housing,
aluminum bronze gear segment, and one-piece steel worm gear
input shaft with tapered roller bearings on both ends.
Adjustable travel stops provide precise adjustment in both open
and closed positions.
Weather proof seal caps ensure travel stop adjustment is
operational through harsh environmental conditions.
The gears are self-locking and able to hold any position
necessary. The gear housings are sealed and weatherproof to
fully isolate internal parts from atmospheric conditions.
External locking devices readily avaiable.
Features include a readily accessible hand-wheel, position
indicator, ISO 5211 mounting pattern, and mechanical travel
stops which permit field adjustment of valve position as required.
WARNING
Gear operator handwheel is attached to input shaft with pin. The
gear operator, with or without valve, should never be lifted by
handwheel as that can lead to mechanical damage of the pin,
input shaft, housing, and /or worm gear.
