Keeping the World Flowing

CK Features

Rotork actuators have been developed with 60

years of experience in actuation solutions and
comply with global safety standards. Our valve
actuation products range from simple actuators
to advanced electronic control systems.
We have the experience, know-how and
product range to supply any valve actuation
solution. Our products are designed to provide
competitive, cost effective, safe, reliable and
efficient valve operation.

P68 watertight construction

An IP68 (8 metres - 96 hrs) rating according to EN 60529 is
achieved using spigot and O-ring joints for actuator covers
and between modules.
Modular design
The major components of the CK range are modular; speed
changes, control package upgrades and indication outputs
can be altered to suit the user’s exact requirements. CK
actuators can be adapted to meet user specification quickly
and efficiently to achieve fast turnarounds and quick delivery.

Robust drive gearing • Rotork field technicians are factory trained and
experienced in all industry applications
A simple single stage worm-and-wheel gear drive runs in
an oil bath for effective lubrication within the specified
temperature range, in any orientation. The standard oil is an
automotive grade widely available throughout the world.
Food grade and low temperature lubricants are available
when specified.
Hand operation
The handwheel drive is independent of the motor drive and
is selected with a lockable hand/auto lever acting on a slow
speed clutch for safe operation. When the motor runs, the
actuator automatically returns to motor drive.
Detachable bases
Thrust base types are separate to the gearcase allowing easy
installation. Should the actuator be removed, the base can be
left on the valve to maintain its position. All base dimensions
and couplings conform to attachment standards ISO 5210 or
MSS SP 102.
