Rotork adds specialised designs and services to actuator product range Valve actuation market leader Rotork Controls now offers an established and comprehensive range of specialist electric and electro-hydraulic linear, rotary and lever arm actuators that further extends its 'one stop shop' industrial valve actuation capabilities. Rotork's take-over of Jordan Controls enables the company to offer a large range of innovative actuator designs that has been developed for the operation of specialised control valves, dampers, diverters, flap valves and gates. These products are well established in industries including power generation, oil and gas, coal, water and waste, pulp, paper and chemical processing, particularly in the USA, South America and China.

Under Rotork ownership, these products will be further developed and marketed internationally through Rotork's worldwide network of subsidiary companies and agents.

Complementing Rotork's existing ranges of heavy duty valve actuators and control products, the Jordan actuator range encompasses electric and electro-hydraulic designs, mostly used for modulating and high speed valve or non-valve duties.

Recent examples of applications include grain elevators, steel industry furnace dampers, power industry fan inlet vane dampers and air shroud dampers, cement industry flap gates and water industry butterfly control valves.

The actuator products are supported by a range of dedicated control accessories, including position transmitters and servo-amplifiers, and are often supplied as customised packages to suit specific applications.
