CIRCOR Brands Announces RTK® REact EQ-L Electric Intelligent Linear Actuator

Offering unrivaled performance together with very little maintenance required

CIRCOR International, Inc., a leading manufacturer and marketer of differentiated technology products and sub-systems, announces the RTK® REact EQ-L electric intelligent linear actuator for high-range force output. RTK REact EQ-L actuators are ideal for processes that depend on 100 percent running time, including industrial, chemical, and power applications. Corrosion-resistant variants have been specially designed for offshore applications. The REact EQ-L electric actuator offers an all in one intelligent package for applications with opening/closing forces from 15/3380 pound-force (lbf) to 30 kilo Newtons/6750 lbf.


The new REact EQ-L opens the door for Industry 4.0 functionality and flexibility for multiple signal exchange systems in open digital protocols for process automation. Outfitted with RTK's optimized REpos digital positioner, the actuator offers data logging functions and remote control through Profibus or CANopen. Using field device notification of diagnostic status, users can expect to conduct timely, status-based intervention to promote higher system availability and reduced maintenance costs.
The new actuator makes it easy to replace old-school synchronous drive technology for industrial, chemical, power and process actuation requirements. Using the newest brushless DC (BLDC) motor system, REact EQ-L offers high force and delivers up to 60 percent energy savings compared to synchronous drives. Other cost-saving features include over-force protection to prevent damage to the valve and actuator; reduction in maintenance due to 100 percent running time; and external LEDs indicating actuating direction for easy monitoring. Also included is a smart controller with several adjustable and easily selectable preset speeds.

Approved for protection rating IP 66 and NEMA 4x, CE design and NRTL certification, REact EQ-L's single gear unit-motor combination offers three different open/close force outputs; easy setup for worldwide voltage inputs and actuator protocols; and different speeds for different applications with only one motor and one gearbox.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
