About
Us
In 1996, K-TORK International, Inc.
embarked on a mission to design and produce the World's
Finest High Performance Valve Actuator.
It
was important for K-TORK to incorporate some of the same features found in
the imported design to facilitate retrofit field installations:
- Identical mounting bolt circle dimensions so that K-TORK
actuators will mount onto EXISTING mounting brackets without any
modification to the bracket.
- Identical output drive shaft dimensions so that
K-TORK actuators will utilize EXISTING couplings without any
modifications to the coupling.
- Same torque outputs for each similar Model.

From
there, we improved K-TORK actuators with the following patented
features:
- Integral NAMUR solenoid mounting pad.
- Integral VDI / VDE 3485 NAMUR accessory top works
mounting pad for positioner and limit switch controls.
- 150 PSI maximum working pressure rating, 220 PSI
maximum over-pressure rating per
AWWA C-540, Power Actuating
Devices.
- 300° F. maximum temperature rating with K-SEAL
modifications.
- High-Tensile alloy steel – electroless
nickel-plated vane and output shaft. Kinetrol uses ductile iron
on similar models.

In
short, K-TORK actuators were designed for long-life and the precise control
of ¼-turn valves. With only one moving part, the simplistic design
provides years of service in demanding, high-cycle, fast operation and
critical modulating applications.
To
reinforce your confidence in K-TORK, we offer a standard THREE YEAR / 2
MILLION STROKE Performance Warranty. This is more than a “Materials
and Workmanship” guarantee as K-TORK will repair or replace your actuator
AT NO COST if it does not perform to your expectations.
