M Series Actuators
M Series Manual Handwheel Gear Actuators
for Type A11, A31A and A41 Butterfly Valves
M Series handwheel gear actuators (figure 1) are
totally enclosed, weatherproof, worm gear actuators
for reliable manual operation with Type A11, A31A
and A41 High Performance Butterfly Valves. The M
Series actuator consists of a body housing, cover,
worm gear, input shaft, and handwheel. The housing
is grease-packed.

selection, use, and maintenance of any
product remains with the purchaser
and end-user.
Features
D Long Service Life—Rugged construction
provides stability and corrosion resistance. The unit
is totally enclosed for weatherproof operation.
D Accurate Valve Disc Positioning—Two
adjustable stops are located in the housing for
correct adjustment of disc position. The actuator is
inherently self-locking, unless subjected to high
vibration.
D Overtravel Capability—Provides for five
degrees of overtravel in both directions for precise
positioning of the valve disc.
Installation
The M Series gear actuator is normally mounted on
a valve at the factory. However, the actuator can be
field-mounted; it can be mounted in any position on
the Type A11 or A31A and it can be mounted in
positions 1 and 3 on the Type A41, as shown in
figure 2. Make clearance considerations before
mounting the actuator to determine the most suitable
mounting position. Dimensions are shown in figure 3.

Ordering Information
Because the M Series actuators for the A11 and
A31A valves are often available in more than one
size for any given valve size, they should be chosen
according to torque requirements of the valve.
Please specify actuator size when specifying valve
size and class.
M Series actuators for the A41 valve have been
matched to the requirements of each valve size and
should be chosen according to the valve size
requested.
