Remote valve actuator

摘要

A remote valve actuator for transmitting rotational motion to a remotely located valve is provided. The remote valve actuator includes a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a drive cable entrained about the drive wheel and the driven wheel so that rotational motion of the drive wheel translates the drive cable and drives the driven wheel to effect actuation of the valve. The remote valve actuator includes a coupler for connecting the two ends of the cable to one another. The coupler is configured to connect the cable ends to one another without creating stress points proximate the cable ends as the coupler rides over the drive and driven wheels.
