A swing leaf operator having a closer portion. The closer portion has an output shaft, on which a cam disc is torsion-resistantly disposed, as well as a pressure roller. A closer spring presses the pressure roller against a running surface of the cam disc. The pressure roller is disposed such that, during an opening or closing of a swing leaf coupled to the output shaft, the pressure roller is moved along a path. The path bypasses the axial center of the output shaft and on account of the configuration of the running surface of the cam disc, in different modes of operation of the swing leaf operator at a respective opening angle of the swing leaf, a very similar or identical torque is respectively applied to the output shaft. The swing leaf operator has a drive motor in operational connection with the output shaft.
