ABSTRACT:
A rotary bi-directional valve actuator having a new and improved dual ratchet mechanism. The linkage maintains the pawl disengaged or uncoupled from the drive bushing until operated to protect the ratchet mechanism and to prevent its binding or jamming. The disengagement of the mechanism compensates for inadvertent rotational movement of the valve stem which could result in malfunction or damage to the actuator when actuated. The actuator is extremely rugged and durable in construction for a long operating life. The simplified construction of the actuator is also easy to maintain and easy access to the working parts is provided by the sealed housing.
