(54)ADAPTORS AND LINKAGES FOR ACTUATORS AND VALVES


(57) A variety of assemblies are configured for use with an actuator. An adaptor includes protrusions configured to engage grooves in a channel wall of the actuator and a snapping structured configured to receive a snapping feature of an output gear. A spring clip rotatably secures a yoke having a yoke slot and an output gear having a circumferential slot in the output channel of the adaptor. A lock clip has an arm and a lock clip, the lock clip having an inner wall shaped to correspond to a polygonal opening that extends through the base ring of a yoke. An adaptor prevents a valve from being coupled to the actuator by a bracket in one or more incorrect orientations, and permits the valve to be coupled to the actuator by the bracket in the correct orientation.
