Rotork IQ3 Pro multi-turn electric actuator for gate and globe valves, IP66/68, explosion-proof

Rotork IQ3 Pro is the flagship intelligent multi-turn electric actuator for local and remote control of gate valves, globe valves and sluice gates in severe conditions: oil and gas, water and wastewater, power, chemical and process industries.

The double-sealed enclosure provides IP66/68 protection (7 m, 72 hours) regardless of terminal cover and cable entry sealing. Oil bath lubrication allows mounting in any orientation. Independent torque and position sensing improve shut-off safety; valve position is tracked continuously, including during power loss.

Commissioning is non-intrusive: local knobs, Bluetooth Setting Tool Pro or the Rotork app, and the RHS remote hand station up to 100 m. The built-in datalogger (torque, temperature, vibration, event log) can be uploaded to Insight 2 or the iAM cloud system. Options: 1ph/3ph/DC supply (IQ3S/IQ3D), high-speed IQ3H, modulating IQ3M, linear output IQ3ML, SET version without integral starter, Industrial Ethernet, SIL option.
