Abstract
A low profile shaft adaptor for coupling an output drive member of an HVAC actuator with an input drive member of a valve. The shaft adaptor may include a clamp for selectively clamping onto the input drive member of the valve, a drive interface configured to form an interference fit with an output drive member of the HVAC actuator, and a bracket configured to mechanically couple the drive interface and the clamp such that rotational movement of the drive interface by way of the interference fit with the output drive member of the HVAC actuator causes corresponding rotational movement of the clamp and thus the input drive member of the valve.
