Electric actuation that survives the sea
From ballast and fuel systems to offshore and tidal power generation, RIFT actuators bring low-power electric control to environments where reliability is non-negotiable.
Corrosion, vibration, limited power
Marine valves face salt, movement and constrained electrical budgets.
Typical applications
- Ballast systems
- Fuel transfer
- Sea water lines
- Offshore power generation
- Tidal energy
Harsh environmentsHow RIFT helps: Marine & offshore
IP68 enclosures
RAL SMART actuators are IP68 as standard.
Low power draw
Ideal where generation is limited.
Proven offshore
RIFT has supported offshore and tidal power generation projects.
Replace hydraulics
Electric actuation removes hydraulic lines and leaks.
The RIFT stack, applied to Marine & offshore
Add the layers your application needs. The actuator stays fully functional at every level.
