The invention relates to an operating device for a rotatable closing element of a valve such that, a desired angle of rotation can easily be set and maintained. This is achieved in that two guide grooves ( ), which are incorporated diametrically opposite each other, are bounded on all sides by a piston shank ( ), in that their respective courses are precisely or more or less symmetrical at all points, in that in each instance the courses have, in relation to the axis of the piston ( ), a greater pitch angle in a central portion (angle b) than in their two portions on the end side (angle a) (a>b), and in that the stroke of the piston ( ) is limited on one side by application of the front-end piston shank ( ) to the cover element ( ) and on the other side by application of a piston base ( ) to a stop element ( ) which is mounted in the housing base ( ) of the housing ( )
