Rotork Midland SMART-LOC pneumatic actuator control assemblies

Rotork Midland SMART-LOC is a high-integrity modular concept for pneumatic actuator control assemblies. Constructed in 316L stainless steel, the SMART-LOC system is suitable for the control and sequencing of process valve actuators in oil and gas applications.

Compared to traditional fabricated panel-mounted assemblies, SMART-LOC offers a lighter, stronger and more compact alternative, together with significant capital and operating cost savings. Complex, labour-intensive arrangements using panels, pipes and additional fittings are eliminated and replaced with a fully assembled and tested interface block, ready to be fitted directly to the actuator. Delivering best-in-class flow characteristics, the units will interface with all types of pneumatic actuators.

A range of field-proven components - valves (spool, poppet or direct mounting) and filter regulators - connected in series on the interface are tailored to meet the requirements of individual projects, ranging from standard shut-off circuits to intricate control circuits. The SMART-LOC clamping system for individual components incorporates static O-rings for higher integrity and long-term reliability. No design work is required from the contractor and all components are kept in stock, resulting in short lead times. With ATEX approval, SMART-LOC components are suitable for hazardous areas and industrial use.

The integral SMART-LOC clamping system also simplifies field maintenance, enabling individual components to be simply and swiftly unclamped and replaced.
