Product range overview

Quarter-turn actuators are used to operate ball, plug or butterfly valves, dampers, lowers
and any equipment with quarter-turn or part turn travel.

 he second stage, driven by the satellite wheels of the planetary gear consists of a worm
and wheel gear type.

• Since the planetary system permits a high speed reduction with an excellent efficiency, the subsequent gear
is driven at a relatively low speed which ensures a better overall efficiency than normal standard gear designs.
Travle limit switches
• Thanks to the BERNARD CONTROLS camblock system, the adjustment
of travel limit switches is simply accomplished with a standard screwdriver.
No special tool is required.
• Each single cam can be set independently from the others.
• The cams are automatically locked in their respective positions, once adjusted,
