Rotork is the home of the flagship IQ intelligent electric actuator range. The IQ range features legendary innovations including Rotork's unique double-sealed enclosure, ‘non-intrusive' commissioning, and predictive maintenance capabilities. More recent innovations include control and commissioning via a Rotork app, Bluetooth® Setting Tool Pro, or local control knobs. All IQ3 Pro actuators have in-built data loggers that can be downloaded to the app, then exported to Insight 2 or sent via Rotork’s cloud-based intelligent asset management (iAM) system.

The IQ functionality and reliability is available for valves of virtually every size and description, including multi-turn (rotary), quarter-turn, isolating and modulating, with watertight and hazardous area approvals to all internationally recognised standards.

Electric actuator ranges also include the AWT for simplified control duties, ROM, ROMpak and Q direct drive actuators for small quarter-turn valves.

Rotork actuators are compatible with a wide range of communication and process control systems. Rotork's own Pakscan™ system offers advanced actuator network control similar to network control from Profibus®, Foundation Fieldbus®, Modbus®, DeviceNet® and HART®.

PAX units are flexible, low voltage actuators that are designed for use in remote, explosionproof locations. They are ideal for midstream and downstream systems that demand precision and reliability, such as within natural gas. Many PAX actuators have been supplied to gas utility companies at natural gas pressure reducing stations to provide automation. This eliminates expensive manual field operation. PAX technology provides simple and rapid compliance to emissions guidelines. They are also suitable for use within water distribution automation networks.

The wider PAX range is made up of linear actuators and motorised regulators. Common applications include pump stroke control, valve control, test equipment and the automation of mechanical spring-loaded pressure regulators. PAX1 linear actuators are low-powered; their use dramatically reduces power usage while maintaining position. This low power benefit makes them an environmentally sensible choice, while simultaneously increasing the efficiency of pilot operated valve automation within natural gas and water distribution systems.

The AC power variant allows for longer cable runs without degradation of the power supply.
