Rotork IQT3 pro shutdown battery
SubCategory: ElectricActuators
Manufacturer: Rotork
Industry: WaterTreatment;Wastewater
Product features
- Integrated lithium-ion battery pack allows the actuator to perform a fail-to-position move (e.g., fail-open, fail-closed, stay-put or to a percentage position) upon mains power loss.
- UPS mode supports continued normal actuator operation until battery charge is exhausted, offering uninterrupted service during power outages.
- Maintains explosion-proof/hazardous-area certification and IP66/68 (7 m for 72 hours) ingress protection while housing the battery within the actuator enclosure.
- Compatible with the features of the standard IQT3 Pro range: full connectivity (EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, PROFINET), Bluetooth/Smartphone setup, oil-bath drive train, continuous position & torque sensing.
- Space-efficient design replaces external backup systems (e.g., pneumatic or spring-return ESD actuators) for remote/solar-powered applications and unmanned sites.
The IQT3 Pro Shutdown Battery variant extends the capabilities of the IQT3 Pro actuator by adding an integrated fail-safe battery pack that drives the valve to a pre-configured safe position when mains power is lost—ensuring process continuity or safe shutdown in isolation, blow-down or emergency applications.
From a performance standpoint, this model retains the high torque part-turn duty of the IQT3 Pro line, while adding a UPS-mode option and configurable fail mode (fail-open/closed/stay-put/percentage), enhancing safety and operational resilience for critical valves.
In terms of design, the actuator retains the IP66/68 rated, double-sealed enclosure and explosion-proof certification even with the battery integrated, enabling installation in hazardous environments; oil-bath lubrication supports any mounting orientation and the unit is fully network-enabled with intelligent diagnostics and remote setup.
