Comparing with others, JIMAI valve gearbox has below advantages:

1. Own Process: JIMAI independently processes the valve gearbox body, worm, gear, and input shaft to ensure adherence to high-quality standards.

2. Worm Treatment: All worm models endure nitriding treatment, which markedly enhances their hardness and wear resistance.

3. Position hole design: Unlike other valve gearboxes offered by suppliers, which feature only two position holes, the JIMAI valve gearbox is equipped with four position holes, each spaced at 90-degree intervals. This design significantly enhances connection stability.

4. Indicator type: JIMAI offers a visible degree scale indicator for options, allowing customers to plainly see the extent to which the valves are open or closed.

5. 3D file: JIMAI has the ability to provide 3D file of valve gearbox in all sizes, which can enhance the clients competition to win the project.

    What is advantage of JIMAI valve gearbox?

    The JIMAI valve gearbox utilizes its own manufactured worm, gear, and gearbox housing, significantly ensuring the quality of the gearbox.

    What is the extra service provided if choose JIMAI valve gearbox?

    JIMAI can supply all model 3D files as well as 2D visualizations to assist clients in assessing whether the space is sufficient. Additionally, JIMAI can assist in printing stickers featuring your own logo to enhance your brand recognition.

    What is the extra process method of valve gearbox comparing with others?

    JIMAI valve gearbox undergoes nitriding treatment for the gearbox worm, which will improve the worm's durability to ensure it can withstand high operating frequencies.

    What are the three type of valve gearbox?

    JIMAI valve gearbox has three different type, the normal manual operated type, the valve gearbox with electric actuator type and also the valve gearbox with pipe network type.

    What is main application of valve gearbox with electric actuator?

    The main applications of valve gearboxes with electric actuators are ball valves or butterfly valves that require frequent opening and closing. With the assistance of valve gearboxes equipped with electric actuators, remote operation can be accomplished, thereby reducing labor costs.

    What is main application of valve gearbox with pipe network?

    The primary applications of valve gearboxes within pipe networks involve ball valves or butterfly valves that are installed underground or within horizontal spaces. Even though the valves are installed underground, the handwheel remains on the surface, ensuring ease of operation.

    How to choose size of valve gearbox?

    JIMAI provides a comprehensive output torque document for valve gearboxes, detailing the specific output torque for each model, from the smallest to the largest. This allows clients to easily compare valve torque with gearbox output torque, simplifying the selection process.

    What is the extra accessory can be used?

    Clients may opt for a limit switch box if they wish to monitor the open/close status remotely. Additionally, they have the option to select the lubricant injector, allowing them to apply lubrication without removing the cover.

    What customized service for valve gearbox is provided?

    JIMAI offers valve gearboxes with customizable body colors and also provides visible indicators equipped with degree scales. Furthermore, if clients prefer to utilize Chain to operate the valve transmission as a replacement for the handwheel, JIMAI can accommodate this request.

    What is the special design of JIMAI valve gearbox?

    The JIMAI valve gearbox employs a four-position opening design, resulting in a more secure connection structure and allowing for adjustable connection orientations. Additionally, the JIMAI valve gearbox features a self-locking mechanism, allowing it to secure the handwheel when the position is fixed.
