Rotork IQ Series plug-and-socket option

Rotork IQ electric valve actuators have been enhanced with the option of a plug-and-socket electrical connection.

The optional modular Rotork plug-and-socket interface provides a fast connect and disconnect option for IQ3 multiturn and IQT3 part-turn actuators. It supports three-phase, one-phase and DC (IQT3 only) electrical variants and includes many actuators with explosion-proof EXd enclosures conforming to ATEX, IECEx, CSA and CSAus international standards.

The plug-and-socket terminal cover maintains the integrity of the actuator’s double-sealed enclosure and IP68 watertight environmental protection (submersible in 20 m of water for 10 days).

A plug-and-socket interface is favoured in some industries for providing quick and easy field wiring and quick removal or interchange of actuators for maintenance and other operating requirements. The Rotork solution provides further flexibility to the user-friendly design of the IQ actuators.
