Declutchable Manual Override

A side-declutchable manual override is available for VPVL
actuators. It consists of a manual gear actuator mounted
between the actuator and the valve.The device is normally
disengaged from the shaft. Upon engagement of the
override clutch, overriding the actuator is done with ease,
aided by the high-reduction ratio of the manual gear unit.
