Rotork Global Actuation Solutions for the Hydrocarbons Industry

Rotork specialises in the manufacture and supply of premium-quality electric, hydraulic and pneumatic valve actuators for a variety of industrial applications.

We also supply a comprehensive portfolio of robust valve gearboxes, instrumentation and control products, and accessories, which are all supported by our global service network to ensure long service-life and maximum operational efficiency.

Valve actuators for the hydrocarbons sector

Rotork’s actuation solutions are relied upon for an all-inclusive range of upstream and downstream applications throughout the petrochemical project lifecycle, ranging from offshore production to refining to the transportation and eventual distribution of the finished product.

We stock an extensive catalogue of actuator devices that have been carefully developed to meet the exacting requirements of the oil and gas industry, while offering users excellent durability and reliability and hassle-free operation.

Our hard-wearing actuators deliver consistently accurate and efficient results and have been proven to reduce operational costs, in addition to contributing to a safer, more environmentally friendly plant environment.

The company is able to supply actuators for new-build developments, as well as retrofit systems and services for existing facilities when required.

Electric actuators for industrial facilities

Rotork’s IQ electric actuators are integrated with a number of cutting-edge features designed to offer easy and efficient operation, including highly precise predictive maintenance (PdM) and data-logging systems, durable double-seal enclosure mechanisms and infra-red commissioning.

Our intelligent IQ functionality can be provided for valves of practically any configuration, including multi and quarter turn, modulating and isolating variants. Components can also be developed in accordance with all internationally recognised watertight and hazardous location specifications.

CVA and GPSA actuators combine advanced electrical and mechanical technologies with ‘smart’ linear and rotary control valves in order to offer users an outstanding level of valve automation for continuous modulation processes, while also featuring a configurable ‘fail to position’ setting to ensure safe operation. In addition, these systems offer innovative non-intrusive calibration and valve diagnostics.

Additionally, Rotork’s offering of state-of-the-art actuation solutions includes the AWT range, which provide users with simplified, highly precise control capabilities, as well as its compact ROM and Q direct-drive systems that have been purposefully developed for application with small-scale quarter-turn valve units.

We also provide control and serial communication systems such as our easy-to-use Pakscan solution, in addition to an array of pioneering open systems such as Foundation Fieldbus, Modbus, Profibus and DeviceNet to deliver a comprehensive chain of reliability throughout the project lifecycle.

Pneumatic, hydraulic, gas-over oil and electro-hydraulic actuators

Rotork Fluid Systems’ line of high-quality, user-friendly solutions include its popular H, GH and RH series hydraulic actuators, as well as the company’s leading P, GP, CP, RC200 / RCI200 and R pneumatic systems, which have been specifically optimised for high-speed failsafe or emergency shutdown applications in extreme subsea environments.

Our product catalogue also includes our high-pressure direct gas (HPG), gas-over-oil (GO) and Skilmatic electro-hydraulic actuator ranges to address a complete spectrum of specialist operational needs.

Most actuator ranges are available in both linear and quarter-turn configurations depending on the customers’ requirements.
