If the actuator has to be installed but cannot be
cabled the removable breakout discs must be left
intact. Rotork cannot accept responsibility for
deterioration caused on-site once the covers are
removed.
Every Rotork actuator has been fully tested before
leaving the factory to give years of trouble free
operation providing it is correctly commissioned,
installed and sealed.
