Section 2: About the AT Series

2.1 

Introduction

The AT Series gear operators are quarter turn worm gearboxes which are used to operate 
quarter turn valves like ball, butterfly and plug valves or any other quarter turn device.

The AT Series gearbox has one valve mounting face on the bottom side (either plain face or 
ribbed face depending on model) and the worm wheel of the gearbox has a bore to suit the 
valve stem directly or suit the coupling between valve stem and gearbox. This is so because 
the gearbox can be directly mounted onto the valve or it can be coupled with the valve 
with the help of a bracket and coupling.

Please find below different views of the AT Series gearbox highlighting its different parts as 
well as instructions and warning plates.
