Precise electric actuation for industrial processes
From modulating control to failsafe isolation, RIFT’s electric and pneumatic ranges cover process duties up to 14,000 Nm — with SMART diagnostics where visibility matters.
On or off isn’t enough
Modern processes need accurate positioning, controlled speed and safe behaviour on power loss — from one consistent actuator platform.
Typical applications
- Process control
- Industrial fluid management
- HVAC
- Water treatment
- Food & beverage
- Fire suppression
Process controlHow RIFT helps: Industrial automation
Modulating control
4–20 mA and fieldbus options for accurate positioning.
Adjustable speed
Match actuation to the process and reduce water hammer.
Failsafe operation
Drive to a defined safe position on loss of power.
Full torque range
From 2 Nm to 14,000 Nm across electric and pneumatic families.
The RIFT stack, applied to Industrial automation
Add the layers your application needs. The actuator stays fully functional at every level.
Recommended actuators
A starting point — every RIFT actuator is configured to the valve, supply and control signal.
