ROTORK, as a leading manufacturer of electric actuators globally, is renowned for its durable products. With decades of experience in installation and operation in various environments, it has developed a highly reliable design, placing its actuators at the forefront of operational and safety applications. The UK-based ROTORK company introduced the intelligent electric actuator (IQ series) in the 1990s, the world's first such actuator – allowing for adjustments and queries without opening the electric box cover. Compared to conventional actuators, it boasts the following features:
(1) Convenient remote parameter setting function. Before operation, simply use the dedicated setting tool provided by the manufacturer to remotely set parameters on the actuator. This not only simplifies the setup process but also enhances the safety of equipment operation, especially crucial in explosion-proof environments.
(2) Rich online display features. Utilizing liquid crystal display technology and an integrated LCD panel, it not only accurately displays valve open/close status and normal valve opening degree, but also shows critical information when parameter settings are adjusted or an actuator fails.
(3) Comprehensive self-diagnosis and protection features. It can diagnose online for issues such as servo motor overload, overheating, and power supply status, as well as automatically identify three-phase power phase. In emergency situations, the actuator can maintain its position or run to a pre-set safe location.
(4) Advanced control functions. Utilizing computer technology, the state-of-the-art automatic tracking control technology is designed as a standard feature. The actuator's response speed is proportional to the deviation from the actual requirements, known as "variable-speed control."
