Rotork has been working with BAE Systems to upgrade a series of A-range actuators to IQ3 actuators which function penstocks controlling motion of ships between the sea and transitional locks and dry docks at Her Majesty’s Naval Base Portsmouth (HMNB Portsmouth).
A collection of A-range actuators had reached the top of their operational life after lengthy service in a difficult setting. BAE Systems needed to retain all the advantages of electrical actuators, so IQ3 actuators were chosen. These needed to be specially adapted by Rotork to overcome issues around confined areas and difficult access.
เครื่องมือที่ใช้วัดความดันเลือด and IS gearboxes were mechanically tailored so that each actuator and gearbox could be operated by hand with out entering the confined house. Rotork designed particular hand auto levers and thru drive mechanisms for the actuator and gearbox to get rid of the necessity for confined house access.
Actuators inside the IQ vary are watertight, providing ingress safety to IP66/68 at 20 m for 10 days. They have a sophisticated twin stacked display with configurable knowledge logger functionality, and an absolute place sensor supplies reliability and accuracy.
