13 Turnomat Valve Rotator

The Turnomat valve rotator is manufactured by Märkisches Werk to more efficiently close valves by rotating them as they close. This removes deposits and allows the valve to operate at all engine speeds without sticking. It consists of a spiral part locked to the valve stem. A rotation cylinder with balls in helical grooves causes the spiral part and valve to rotate only during closing due to a ratchet preventing rotation on opening.

The Turnomat Valve Rotator

The turnomat is
manufactured by
Märkisches Werk, Halver
or MWH for short. It is
claimed to be more
efficient than the rotocap
because it rotates the
valve as it is closing, thus
removing the build up of
deposits on the valve. It
also operates at all engine
speeds, and is not likely to
stick or jam.
The main operating
element consists of the spiral
part which is locked by
friction using collets to the
valve stem. A rotation
cylinder fitted with a ratchet
has two balls which locate in
two helical grooves
machined in the spiral part.
The assembly is mounted on
a bearing which forms part
of the spring carrier.
When the rocker
gear pushes down on
the valve stem to
open the valve the
spiral part moves
downwards into the
rotation cylinder. As
the balls run up the
helical grooves the
rotation cylinder will
rotate; however there
will be no rotation of
the valve spindle
As the valve starts to
close, the balls in the
rotation cylinder move
back down the helical
grooves. However the
ratchet prevents the
rotation cylinder from
turning, and so the spiral
part rotates along with the
valve stem.
