Skilmatic Product Overview

The SI range of actuators are compact,

robust and sealed to the environment; they
are watertight up to IP66/68 and are suitable
for Zone 1 hazardous areas when specified
(see Certification for details).

To maintain the integrity of the enclosure, the non-intrusive

infrared Rotork Bluetooth® Setting Tool Pro is supplied
to allow for the viewing and changing of settings and to
download the actuators configuration and data log file
without the removal of any actuator covers.
The SI range of actuators consist of a sealed control module
with the LCD dual display located behind a sealed, toughened
glass window. Set-up and reviewing of the configuration is
undertaken with the handheld Rotork Bluetooth® Setting
Tool Pro, making the actuators ideal for use in hazardous and
harsh environments. The non-intrusive setting tool provides
access to internal hydraulic pressure settings, position
limits, control, indication functions and the data logger.
The actuator is also compatible with older models of Rotork
infrared setting tools. The SI range can operate using the
Rotork Bluetooth® Setting Tool Pro, allowing access without
direct line of sight over greater distances. This is achieved
by pairing the setting tool and actuator in a single infrared
transaction after which Bluetooth wireless connection can
take over. Configuration changes are password protected and
the actuator is immune to connection by non-Rotork devices
or programmes.
SI actuators benefit from advances in user interface design.
In addition to a configurable, information rich display, the
actuators provide a highly intuitive menu structure for
commissioning and diagnostics.
The latest version of the Rotork Insight software streamlines
actuator set-up. The settings can be saved on a suitable PC
and quickly downloaded to the individual actuators via the
handheld Rotork Bluetooth® Setting Tool Pro. Insight 2 allows
the operator to review settings, events and trends on a PC
remote from the actuator.

Double-Sealed Terminal Compartment

The SI actuator control modules are rated up to IP66/68
watertight and dust-tight. The terminal compartment
is designed with a double seal to ensure protection of
all internal components by separating them from the
cable glands and terminal compartment with a sealed
watertight terminal block. Protection is maintained during
site installation when the terminal cover is removed
and is independent of cable gland sealing. The terminal
compartment is available as watertight or hazardous area
certified (flameproof or increased safety).

SI Quarter-Turn Actuators

The standard range of Skilmatic SI quarter-turn SI2

actuators offer a unique and reliable solution
for electric fail-safe actuation on all quarter-turn
valve and damper applications.

The SI2 (low pressure) and SI3 (high pressure) are compact
and robust spring-return actuators designed for all types
of ball, butterfly, plug valves and dampers. They consist of
a self-contained electro-hydraulic control module with a
Torque 65 to 4,000 Nm
spring-return scotch yoke drive. The actuators are available as
(48 to 2,950 lbf.ft)
either fail-safe clockwise or anti-clockwise. They can also be
configured to stayput on loss of power supply.
The actuators are specifically designed for safety critical
applications and accept various inputs signals as standard,
including ESD and PST. Optional fieldbus communication SI3
can be provided for control and remote monitoring; this can
also be used in conjunction with a hardwired ESD input to
maintain the safety integrity of the system when used on
ESD applications.
SI actuators are certified to IEC 61508:2010 for SIS with a
Systematic Capability SC-3 and suitable for use in SIL 2 and
SIL 3 system.
The actuators can also accept an analogue input signal to
accurately position a control valve with a resolution < 0.25%
providing also a 4-20 mA output of valve position.
Torque 2,000 to 36,000 Nm

SI Quarter-Turn Actuators

The Skilmatic SI4 quarter-turn actuators offer the flexibility SI4 Double-Acting with Optional Accumulator
of customisation to suit specific applications and process
conditions. The high pressure actuators are self-contained
and can operate either a spring-return or double-acting
scotch yoke drive. This eliminates the high installation and
maintenance costs associated with conventional electro-
hydraulic systems which utilise central hydraulic power units.
Accumulators can be offered on the SI4 range to provide
multiple back-up strokes on loss of power supply, along
with increasing the hydraulic stroke speed on spring-return
actuators and providing an alternative to spring-return on
double-acting actuators.
SI4 spring-return actuators are certified to IEC 61508:2010 for
SIS with a Systematic Capability SC-3 and suitable for use in
SIL 2 and SIL 3 systems.

SI Linear Actuators

The Skilmatic SI linear actuator range provides

a reliable solution for electric fail-safe and
modulating control when a direct linear
movement is required.

The range consists of the SI2 and SI3 for standard spring-
return to extend or retract and the SI4 for customised
applications for both spring-return and double-acting
execution. Accumulators can also be offered with the SI4
to provide an alternative to spring-return or increase the
hydraulic stroke speed. Accumulators can also be used to
provide multiple strokes on loss of power supply.
Specifically designed for safety critical applications, these
actuators accept various inputs signals as standard, including
ESD and PST.
Optional fieldbus communication can be provided for remote
monitoring and control and can be used in conjunction with
a hardwired ESD input to maintain the safety integrity of the
system when used on ESD applications.
The actuators can also accept an analogue input signal
to accurately position a control valve with a resolution of
< 0.25% providing also a 4-20 mA output of valve position.
Linear spring-return actuators are certified to IEC 61508:2010
for SIS, with a Systematic Capability SC-3 and are suitable for
use in SIL 2 and SIL 3 systems.

the cylinder on linear actuators. The sensors are designed
for high duty cycling with minimum moving parts and are
directly connected to the valve drive shaft in all applications
to provide a resolution < 0.25%. The actuator display will

open limit.
Position feedback can be provided as a 4-20 mA output signal.
The actuator is capable of setting the open and closed limits
on position or hydraulic pressure (torque).

Local Mechanical Indicator

All SI actuators can be provided with a mechanical position
indication, visible at over 10 metres away in stainless steel

Remote Hand Station (RHS)

Actuators used in many applications can be mounted in
locations where it is hazardous, inaccessible or inconvenient
for human operation. In these cases it is useful to be able to
see the status and locally operate the actuator from a safe
distance. The Remote Hand Station enables safe and secure
local monitoring and control of SI actuators installed in
difficult locations.
Using the same display and control interface from the
SI actuator, users can remotely operate, interrogate and
configure the SI actuator from up to 100 m distance. Due to
the familiar feature-rich interface, set-up couldn’t be easier
using the Rotork Bluetooth® Setting Tool Pro supplied with
the actuator.
Duplicating the full functionality of the SI, configuration and
data log information can be viewed and downloaded locally
at the RHS instead of gaining access to the actuator. Power
for the RHS is supplied by the actuator, removing the need for
a supplementary power supply.
