PGW 103 Geared Actuator
PGW 103 Geared Actuator
Patent-Pending Multi-Ratio Actuation
High-Torque Multi-Ratio Engineering for Zero-Failure Flow Control.
High-Torque Multi-Ratio Engineering
for Zero-Failure Flow Control.
The PGW 103 is a high-capacity geared actuator designed for extreme-thrust applications up to 40,000 lbs. Featuring a patent-pending self-draining stem cover and a multi-ratio bevel gear set, the 103 delivers unmatched mechanical advantage. Engineered for the most demanding municipal penstocks and sluice gates, it sets the new gold standard for American-made infrastructure reliability. The 103’s invertible housing architecture enables perfectly synchronized dual-stem actuation for high-thrust gates, ensuring consistent lift without the need for custom-handed stem threading or specialized hardware.

Learn about the PGW-103 Gearbox
The PGW 103 (formerly known as the GW103) represents the pinnacle of manual actuation technology. Designed for high-torque environments, this unit provides a significant mechanical advantage through its precision-cut bevel gear assembly. Unlike any other actuator in its class, the 103 features a patent-pending self-draining stem cover design that prevents moisture and debris accumulation, alongside a 5-inch extended drive nut for maximum service life under extreme loads.
