 IQ - simply unmatched for reliability

Position measurement
Reliable process control depends on
accurate positioning of the valve at
end of travel and for fluid control, mid
travel. The patented IQ non-contacting
position measuring system is the most
simple yet devised for actuator
control. With only one moving part,
the resolver converts output centre
column rotation into an electronic
signal which is then compared to
position limits stored within a safe,
non volatile memory

 Full security, full protection

Syncrophase prevents valve

damage through incorrect wiring
Rotork’s unique ‘Syncrophase’
automatic phase rotation correction
prevents valve damage through
incorrect wiring by ensuring that the
IQ three-phase motor is always
presented with the correct phase
rotation of the power supply.

Single phasing protection

Also developed to control motor
overheating, IQ electronics constantly
monitor all three phases of the power
supply. Should one or more phases be
lost the control circuit is prevented
from energising the contactors. Local
and remote alarm signals of
incomplete supply are offered as
standard features.

Motor protection when valve jams

Should a valve jam, the IQ motor is
prevented from overheating by a logic
circuit which trips the contactor when
there is no movement within seven
seconds of a start signal.

Thermostatic protection
Two thermostats embedded in the
motor windings directly sense motor
temperature, tripping the actuator
control circuit in the event of motor
windings overheating.
