Description
Norwegian manufacturer of electric and electro-hydraulic valve remote control systems and actuators.
Did you know
- Valve Remote Control Systems (VRCS) have been a critical safety component in marine operations for over 80 years, with companies like Rotork having extensive experience in their design and installation. The broader VRCS market includes various actuation technologies, with hydraulic systems being a traditional solution for tankers and offshore vessels.
- Within the VRCS range, Actuators & Controls (AC) represents a hydraulic system, which is a traditional and well-proven solution, particularly for tankers, LNG carriers, and offshore vessels. This contrasts with electro-hydraulic systems, which integrate localized power units to reduce piping, and electric systems that rely on motor-driven actuators.
- The Actuators & Controls (AC) hydraulic system is chosen for its high torque delivery, making it suitable for large valves, and its reliable operation in hazardous environments. It offers robust performance for demanding applications like cargo and ballast valve operations on FPSOs, FSOs, and other offshore vessels.
| Model | Actuation Type | Key Components | Typical Applications |
