Enhancing safety through our products

Rotork supplied electro-hydraulic actuators to provide a critical safety function for a Malaysian mass-transit railway in 2021. They control vents of up to five metres wide, which open in the event of a fire. They also control the flow of fresh air into the railway, to support temperature control and maintain safe levels of oxygen and air pollutants. The high-quality, corrosion resistant attributes of Rotork’s actuators enable them to reliably perform these critical safety functions.
