Elesa, the global manufacturer of mechanical engineering components such as handles, levers and knobs, have launched their GN 950 series of three-spoked handwheels in the US.
The AISI 316-grade handwheels are suited for harsh environments such as chemical and offshore applications because they were specially designed for use on external pipeline valves or where there are extra concerns regarding chemicals like aggressive cleaners.
The standard cast is the GN 950.6-A AISI 316L option, which has a turned and polished rim available in sizes 100-200mm in diameter. The 950.6-F is slightly different as it has a fixed handle for situations where a high number of turns may be required. Either option is available with a plain reamed hole, although square drive holes are available if needed.
