Rotary models (MAR-units) span a Torque range of 17 to 48,000 in. lbs. Stroke speeds for quarter-turn valves range from 1.25 seconds to 3 minutes. Speeds for multi-turn actuators range from 7.5 to 30 RPM. RCS manufactures actuators with NEMA/CSA-4, NEMA/CSA-7 and combination 4/6/7 enclosures with various voltages of 120 1-ph., 50/60 Hz., 220 1-ph 50/60 Hz., 440 Volt 3-ph VAC. In direct current we have 12 & 24 VDC (DCR-Units).
The Spring Return Electric Actuators (SurePower) goes up to 1,800 inch-pounds of spring-end torque.

RCS actuator products from GE Energy offer exceptional automation solutions for valve and equipment manufacturers and end users in the commercial, industrial, marine and power industries. Applicable to a myriad of automation solutions, from simple on/off control to heavy modulating, RCS actuators have been used in a variety of challenging, dirty and hazardous environments. GE specializes in offering engineered actuator solutions for your unique or unusual applications. Versatile, Advanced Technology Electric Rotary Actuators Our electric rotary line offers a broad range of highly versatile actuator products. Targeted to 1/4 turn and multi-turn valves and dampers, RCS electric rotary actuators are also well suited for use in the automation of other types of rotating equipment. These rotary models span a torque range of 120 to 48,000 inch pounds with stroke speeds for 1/4 turn valves ranging from 0.5 seconds to 3 minutes and for multi-turn actuators from 7.5 to 30 rpm. Cost-effective, Low-maintenance Spring Return Actuators Our spring return electric rotary actuators employ torsion power springs that provide a reliable mechanical actuation solution for emergency shutoff or shutdown situations. This approach offers a cost-effective, low-maintenance and superior alternative to pneumatic, hydraulic, electrohydraulic or battery backup systems. The Spring Return Electric Actuators have spring-ending torque to 1,800 inch pounds and are also available with speed options for simple on/off or modulating applications. Clockwise and counter-clockwise spring return options are available to drive any 1/4 turn device to a fail position upon loss of power.
