Rotork Innovations
All IQ commissioning, configuration and data logger information can be reviewed, analysed and reconfigured using the freely-available Rotork IQ-Insight PC software. Predictive maintenance capability eliminates the need for over cautious planning of maintenance schedules, optimising plant performance and reducing costs. No periodic maintenance recommended for the actuator. Occasional valve stroking only.
Padlockable Local/Stop/Remote selector switch and Open/Close switch operate internal reed switches, avoiding penetrating shafts which would require sealing for environmental protection.
Accurate, repeatable torque measurement is achieved independently of variations in frequency, voltage and temperature. Meanwhile, patented IQ non-contacting position measurement – using only one moving part – converts output rotation into an electronic signal which is compared to position limits stored within as safe, non-volatile memory. Unlike some other designs, it cannot slip.
The Rotork double-sealed design permanently ensures the protection of internal components – even during site wiring – by separating them from the cable glands and terminal compartment with a watertight terminal block.
The IQ enclosure is rated IP68 (submersible for 7 metres for 72 hours), NEMA 4/4X/6. It is completely watertight, dust tight and does not “breathe”. Explosionproof certified actuators share the same enclosure. Customised paint finishes and fire protection coatings available.
Rotork’s worldwide sales and service network guarantees localised support for actuator installations in any area.
