K-TORK provides valve automation products for many industries, used to automate
various types and styles of valves. Your processes require many valve types and
manufacturers, but you can STANDARDIZE on the actuator. To simplify your
plant’s maintenance, K-TORK actuators can be used on any ¼-turn valve, including
ball valves, butterfly valves, plug valves or dampers.

The K-TORK Advantage
K-TORK is a TRUE ROTARY valve actuator! Piston, rack & pinion or
scotch-yoke actuator designs convert linear motion to rotary motion by means of
cranks, gears or levers. The strength of K-TORK is its simplicity (one moving
part) and NO O-Ring SEAL design. All piston actuators utilize O-Rings in their
design. It is not a matter of “if they will leak” but rather, “when will they
leak”.
- Three Year Performance Warranty – Guaranteed to perform for 3 years
or 2 Million Strokes, whichever comes first (2 million strokes would be 50
cycles per day, every day for 54 years)
- Integral NAMUR Mounting – Ensures that the limit switches, solenoid
valves or positioners of your choice can be easily mounted to K-TORK actuators.
- Modulating Accuracy – K-TORK actuators, due to LOW FRICTION DESIGN,
offer 0.25% resolution & repeatability. Piston actuators rely on
tight-fitting O-ring seals, which require high differential pressure to shift
the piston. This friction results in “hunting” and “over-shoot” of the set
point. Replace globe-body control valves with more economical ¼-turn control
valves.
- Fast Operation – K-TORK actuators have large air inlet ports. Rack
& pinion actuators rely on small air passageways.
- High Cycle – The DUAL OPPOSED, POLYURETHANE LIP SEALS are abrasion
resistant and long-lasting.
- RETROFIT – To existing valves without removing the valve from the
pipeline.
- Modular Controls – K-TORK’s extensive list of control accessories
ensures that the actuator will be fully compatible with ANY existing or
proposed control system. K-TORK actuators will NEVER BE OBSOLETE!
- Totally Enclosed – No external link arms, levers or pinch points.
Nothing to corrode. Easily rebuildable with standard hand tools and basic
skills.
