Product Overview
The Dwyer MGO-1T Series MGO Gear Operator provides heavy-duty manual operation for valves and dampers, including compatible Dwyer BFV Series butterfly valves. It is suitable for both on-off and throttling service, giving operators controlled manual positioning of the connected butterfly valve.
The operator features a rugged cast iron body with O-ring body seals and is designed for weatherproof installation in indoor or outdoor environments. Its self-lubricated construction supports smooth operation while reducing the need for routine lubrication.
A self-locking worm and worm gear mechanism holds the connected valve in its selected position without drifting. This is particularly useful when the valve needs to remain at a specific throttling position during operation.
The MGO-1T includes a readily accessible hand wheel, a valve position indicator, and mechanical travel stops. The travel stops can be adjusted in the field to limit valve movement to specific degrees of rotation, providing greater control over the operating range.
The MGO-1T is sized for 2", 2.5", and 3" BFV Series butterfly valves and provides a minimum output torque of 1328 in-lbs (150 N·m) and a maximum output torque of 2930 in-lbs (270 N·m). It has a 24:1 gear ratio and a mechanical advantage of 6.72.
When selecting the gear operator, the required valve torque should be compared with the operator's available output torque and mechanical advantage. The required valve torque can be divided by the mechanical advantage to determine the required input torque, which can then be used with the hand wheel radius to determine hand wheel rim effort.
