Independent Claim
200 words
In an actuator for valve (1) for opening and closing a valve (A) by rotating an output shaft (2) connected to a rotary shaft of the body of said valve (A) by 90° in forward and reverse directions by a reversible rotary motor (3), said actuator for valve (1) comprising: a rotary shaft (4) pivoted thereto on the extension line of the axis of said output shaft (2), said rotary shaft (4) adapted to be rotated by said motor (3); gears (6) meshed with a gear (5) integrally secured to said rotary shaft (4); plates (7) pivoted to said rotary shaft (4) for pivotally supporting said gears (6) at the shafts (6 1 ) thereof; an internal gear (8) having inner peripheral teeth (8 1 ) meshed with said gear (6), and integrally secured to said output shaft (2); an internal gear (9) having inner peripheral teeth (9 1 ) commonly meshed with said gear (6), and pivoted to said rotary shaft (4), the number of said inner peripheral teeth (9 1 ) being different from the number of said inner peripheral teeth (8 1 ); and a regulating member (10) for preventing said internal gear (9) from being rotated.
