If you want to operate a valve manually, but maintain the advantage of the fail-safe spring's certainty of position when unattended, check out the Kinetrol's manual and fire fail-safe spring handle. This uniquely designed manual operator offers some compelling benefits in automating valves and provides additional plant safety levels. Spring return (also known as "deadman") handles will help you meet individual plant safety requirements and OSHA requirements for valves that must return to the closed position after an operation. Unlike lever handle or gear operators that will leave the valve in the last state, the spring return deadman device ensures that the valve returns to its original starting position powered by the associated spring handle.
The Kinetrol rotary vane design is based upon a single moving part which eliminates additional parts required to convert linear motion to rotary motion. This simple and innovative design provides a highly accurate and extremely reliable actuator for operating valves, drives and dampers, and is perfectly suited for the most demanding process control applications.
