Volant moulé sur mesure

Command manual control with precision, confidence, and tactile distinction using this custom investment-cast handwheel. Precision-engineered for valves, machine tools, and industrial equipment demanding intuitive manual adjustment, this component transforms operator input into precise mechanical positioning—delivered with the aesthetic refinement and monolithic integrity only investment casting can provide.

Multi-Alloy Material Versatility: Available in lightweight aluminum, high-strength steel alloy, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, advanced superalloy, or durable brass—each precision-selected to match specific torque requirements, environmental exposure, weight targets, and visual design objectives.
Investment-Cast Monolithic Construction: Precision investment casting enables the formation of complex spoke profiles, ergonomic rim contours, and integrated hub geometry in a single, continuous pour—eliminating welded joints, mechanical fasteners, and secondary assembly while preserving uninterrupted grain flow throughout the entire structure.
Balanced Aesthetics & Structural Integrity: Organically flowing spoke patterns, variable cross-section reinforcement, and optimized rim-to-hub load paths are cast directly into the handwheel architecture—delivering visual sophistication without compromising torsional rigidity or impact resistance.
Smooth Surface, Accurate Dimensions: Near-net-shape casting fidelity produces exceptional as-cast surface finish and exacting hub-to-rim concentricity, reducing or eliminating secondary finishing operations while maintaining consistent balance during rotational adjustment.
Customizable Grip Interface: Rim available with precision-cast knurling, molded elastomeric overlay, or contoured finger grooves—each engineered to provide positive, slip-free actuation in gloved, wet, or oily operating conditions.
Application-Tuned Surface Finishing: Available in chrome plating, industrial powder coating, chemical passivation, or polished bare metal execution—providing lasting corrosion resistance, brand identity integration, or period-correct aesthetic authenticity.
Fully Customizable Operating Parameters: Manufactured to customer-specific bore diameters, keyway geometries, set screw configurations, spoke counts, and overall dimensional envelopes—accommodating everything from high-cycle industrial valve actuation to precision machine tool positioning.
Load Capacity Verification: Engineered with application-specific safety factors, with cast-in reinforcement at high-stress spoke-hub junctions and rim mounting interfaces—ensuring reliable performance under repeated manual torque application and occasional shock loading.

Applications:

• Industrial Valve Actuation: Ideal for gate valves, butterfly valves, and globe valves in process piping, water treatment, and oil/gas applications requiring verified manual shutoff torque capacity.

• Machine Tool Manual Controls: Essential for milling machine feed wheels, lathe carriage handwheels, and press brake adjustments demanding precise positional feedback and ergonomic repetitive operation.

• Marine & Offshore Deck Equipment: Suitable for winch controls, ventilation dampers, and ballast valve actuation requiring corrosion-resistant hardware with positive grip in saltwater environments.

• Architectural & Ornamental Hardware: Engineered for custom stair railings, decorative industrial fixtures, and period-correct equipment restorations requiring authentic cast detailing with modern metallurgical integrity.

• Prototype & Low-Volume Production: Accommodates specialty machine building, museum-quality restorations, and one-off industrial designs requiring non-standard handwheel geometry with verified casting quality.

More than a rotary actuator, this investment-cast handwheel is the tactile conscience of your manually controlled equipment—translating operator intuition into precise mechanical displacement with every degree of rotation. Whether you’re engineering a nuclear-grade isolation valve or restoring a vintage machine tool, it’s the component that proves manual control can be both functionally superior and aesthetically authentic.
