Less Effort in Manual Operation
Hearken manual gearbox operator utilizes an optimized transmission structure to effectively reduce the force required for operation. We’ve added a ball bearing to the end of the worm shaft to significantly reduce friction. The oil seal hole is reamed to a surface roughness of up to Ra1.6, further minimizing resistance and making manual valve opening and closing easier.

Your Professional Worm Gear Operators and Gearboxes Supplier in China
Our worm gear operators and gearboxes are widely used on valves for a number of process industries,and offer a highly robust, user friendly, and straightforward solution for industrial applications. It is like the “Sandwich Mounts” between a pneumatic quarter-turn actuator and a ball, butterfly, plug or damper valve.
Manual Override Gear Operator
Hearken Manual Control with Gearbox Operators is a system using gear – based mechanisms for users to manually operate machinery precisely.

HGB Series Gear Box
The HGB quarter-turn gearbox is a mechanical device designed to provide a 90-degree rotation (or a quarter turn) to an input shaft,converting rotary motion into a different angular direction
Why Choose Hearken Worm Gear Operators and Gearboxes?
Self-Locking
Hearken valve manual override has a self-protection feature: “Self-locking”, which can keep the valve stably in the current position after adjustment, and prevent the valve from moving by itself due to vibration, pressure change and other factors.In this way, the operation is safer, and it can accurately control the flow and flow of the fluid in the pipeline, which is particularly practical.


Provides Limit Protection
Hearken manual gearbox operators are equipped with adjustable mechanical limits, allowing you to set limits at the open or closed end of the travel range. This prevents overtravel, which could damage the gearbox’s internal structure and impact your project’s overall progress. Hearken manual gearbox operators also offer a ±5° adjustable travel range of 0–90°, meeting varying valve opening requirements under various operating conditions and ensuring every operation is within a safe range.
Effectively Handles Highly Corrosive Working Conditions


Hearken manual gearbox operators feature a fully sealed design. Each manual gearbox utilizes NBR oil seals that meet national standards.
For internal protection, we incorporate sealing gaskets between the cover, housing, and top of the manual gearbox operator, along with blind screw holes in the center flange, to effectively prevent dust and water from penetrating. For external protection, Hearken manual gearbox operators also feature an NBR sealing gasket on the cover and a protective cap on the top cable. Hearken Flow’s multi-layered protection effectively prevents rust and seizure.
Compact and Lightweight, Flexible Adaptability

Compact Design
The Hearken valve gear operator features a compact design and lightweight materials, significantly reducing overall weight and reducing the burden on your system. Hearken also offers a variety of standard sizes and output torque specifications for flexible adaptation to different valves and operating conditions.

Flexible Installation
The Hearken valve gear operator utilizes international standard flange interfaces for greater flexibility. Its simple internal structure and removable internal worm gear make replacement and installation quick and easy, while also reducing future maintenance time.
Your Professional Manual Gearbox Operator Manufacturer in China
The Hearken valve gear operator has a large transmission torque limit. The worm gear structure adopts positive displacement and increases the tooth thickness to improve the overall rigidity and prevent the loss of efficiency due to operational wear.
Application of Manual Override
The manual override of the valve is controlled to open and close by manual operation.
FAQ
A: It allows you to manually operate a pneumatic valve during an air supply failure or emergency.
A: For emergency safety. It ensures you can still open/close the valve if the automation system fails.
A: Yes, the worm gear design prevents the valve from moving under line pressure.
A: No. When disengaged (in auto mode), it allows the pneumatic actuator to work at full speed.
A: Yes. It is commonly used on large ball valves where high torque makes lever operation difficult. Ensure the ISO 5211 mounting pads match.
