Abstract

The invention relates to an actuating device for a rotatable closure part of a valve, in particular a pneumatically or hydraulically actuatable rotary drive for a disk or throttle valve, with a housing, in which a drive piston that is sealed from a cylindrical housing casing is arranged and is suppliable on one side with a pressurizing medium, which preferably has a tubular piston skirt, with a drive shaft, which is guided on one side out of the housing and drives in a rotating manner the closure part indirectly or directly, wherein the drive piston executes either an axial shift movement against the effect of at least one return spring in the case of a one-sided supply with the pressurizing medium or a back and forth shift movement in the case of an alternating supply with a pressurizing medium, wherein the piston skirt experiences an axially oriented guidance in the housing via at least one axial groove formed in it, into which a straight-line guide cam permanently connected with the housing engages, and wherein the piston skirt has at least one helical groove arranged in it, into which a drive bolt permanently arranged on or in the drive shaft is arranged, so that the radially and axially mounted drive shaft experiences a rotation around the axis of rotation due to the axial shift movement of the drive piston oriented in the direction of its axis of rotation.
