Rotork Electric Intelligent Actuators IQ3 Series Overview

Rotork’s IQ3 series represents the pinnacle of intelligent electric actuation, offering multi-turn and part-turn actuators designed for the most demanding industrial environments. These actuators are engineered for precision, reliability, and digital integration, making them ideal for critical flow control across water, power, oil & gas, and process industries.

Core Innovations Across the IQ3 Series:

• Double-Sealed Enclosure: IP66/68 rated for water ingress protection (7 m for 72 hours), ensuring long-term durability.
• Non-Intrusive Commissioning: Setup and configuration without opening the actuator, enhancing safety and reducing downtime.
• Advanced Diagnostics: Integrated data loggers capture torque, temperature, vibration, and operational events for predictive maintenance.
• Rotork App & Bluetooth® Setting Tool Pro: Enables remote configuration, control, and data extraction via smartphone or handheld device.
• Explosionproof & SIL2/3 Certified: Suitable for hazardous environments and safety-critical applications.
• Continuous Position Tracking: Maintains valve position data even during power loss.
