Circor International has launched the RTK REact EQ-L electric intelligent linear actuator for high-range force output. RTK REact EQ-L actuators are ideal for processes that depend on 100% running time, including industrial, chemical, and power applications. The REact EQ-L electric actuator offers an all in one intelligent package for applications with opening/closing forces from 15/3380 pound-force (lbf) to 30 kilo Newtons/6750 lbf.
The new REact EQ-L opens the door for Industry 4.0 functionality and flexibility for multiple signal exchange systems in open digital protocols for process automation. Outfitted with RTK’s optimized REpos digital positioner, the actuator offers data logging functions and remote control through Profibus or CANopen.
The new RTK REact EQ-L is also equipped with a mechanical Fail-Safe and Emergency Closing Unit (ECU) function. The Fail-Safe can close the valve on loss of external power. The ECU is a function of the actuator that are designed to perform a closing operation in an emergency e.g. when the temperature/- or pressure limiter is triggered.
Approved for protection rating IP 66 and NEMA 4x, CE design and NRTL certification, REact EQ-L’s single gear unit-motor combination offers three different open/close force outputs; easy setup for worldwide voltage inputs and actuator protocols; and different speeds for different applications with only one motor and one gearbox.
