Rotork IQ19 valve actuator

Rotork has introduced a new model in its IQ range of non-intrusive intelligent electric actuators. With an optimised combination of valve stem diameter acceptance and torque output, it is designed to facilitate the economical automation of valves and penstocks typically found in the water and effluent treatment industries.

The IQ19 actuator combines a stem acceptance of up to 51 mm diameter with torque output up to 135 Nm and output speeds up to 72 rpm. The combination meets the operating requirements of large numbers of penstocks, sluice gates and gate valves.

The actuator incorporates the full range of advanced reliability, functionality and asset management features, including a broad range of data logging capabilities.

Reliability is optimised by the IQ double-sealed IP66/IP68 watertight and temporarily submersible enclosure, which permanently protects internal electrics from the ambient environment, even during site wiring with the terminal housing cover removed.
