See problems before they become failures. Valve Signature™ compares every movement against the commissioning baseline, so rising load or slowing travel is flagged while the valve still works.
Maintain on evidence, not on the calendar. Condition states and cycle history give service teams a reason to visit — or a reason not to. Fewer unnecessary inspections, better-targeted interventions.
Drop straight into your BMS. BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU as standard, with a data model that includes commanded and actual position, state, travel time, load, voltage, temperature, cycle count and condition index. No proprietary gateway, no cloud dependency.
Response tuned to the application. A 10-second factory default with electronically configurable slower travel means the same actuator suits fast isolation and gentle modulation without changing hardware.
Controlled failsafe when power is lost. Optional supercapacitor stored energy drives the valve to its safe position under control, with stored-energy health reported to the BMS.
Runs where power is scarce. RIFT’s patented Reduced Induction Field Technology significantly reduces electrical demand compared with conventional actuator designs, making solar, battery and remote installations practical.
The RIFT RAT platform is a common core — motor control, firmware, diagnostics and service tooling shared across every variant — configured for the demands of each market. Alongside it, our established RAS, RAM and RAL series continue to serve water, utilities and remote infrastructure. British-designed electric actuators that move the valve, understand how it is behaving and tell your BMS when it needs attention. From data centre cooling to water networks, irrigation and fire systems.
RIFT is built in layers. Each one adds context to the last, and the actuator stays fully functional at every level — no cloud connection is ever required for basic control.
What it does: Controls the valve and measures every movement.
What you get: Precise control, open BMS data, local commissioning.
Captures a baseline of current, travel, speed and position at commissioning and compares every subsequent movement against it.
Turns deviation, trend, usage and environment into a simple condition state.
Adds flow, differential pressure, temperature, leak and environmental sensing around the valve.
Supervisory layer across every RIFT device on site or across sites. Asset health, trends, alarms and service planning for the whole fleet.
A conventional electric actuator moves the valve. A smart actuator moves the valve and reports its position. Both leave the same gap: they confirm what was commanded, not what is actually happening inside the valve.
RIFT actuators are designed to close that gap. Every movement is measured — motor load, position, travel time, supply voltage, temperature and cycle history — and compared against the valve’s own commissioning baseline. When a valve starts to bind, slow or need more torque than it did on day one, the actuator can show it long before a position alarm ever would.
CDU distribution, bypass, isolation and rotary mixing valves in liquid-cooled and hybrid facilities. RAT-DC gives cooling OEMs a compact, BMS-native actuator and gives operators early warning of valve degradation where a failed valve means lost compute.
Treatment works, pumping stations, reservoirs, pressure management and distribution networks. Low-power actuation for remote assets with condition data that turns routine inspection rounds into targeted maintenance.
Chilled and heating water isolation, bypass and rotary control valves in plant rooms and risers. Open BACnet and Modbus integration with valve condition states the FM team can act on.
Solar-powered valve control for fields, orchards and estates, with soil moisture, flow and temperature data from RIFT field sensors. Reduce site visits and water waste.
Quarter-turn valves on suppression and sprinkler systems where proof that the valve will move — and evidence of how it moved last time — supports compliance and confidence.
Process isolation and control duties across fluid technology, mining, marine and food industries, served by the RAS, RAM and RAL series up to 14,000 Nm.
Founded in 2011 and based in Bournemouth, RIFT Actuators designs and manufactures intelligent electric actuation in the UK. Our patented multi-motor and Reduced Induction Field Technology underpins every product we build, from compact 20 Nm smart actuators to 14,000 Nm industrial drives — and the same Valve Signature™ engine runs across all of them.
Whether you are specifying cooling valves for a new data hall, automating a remote water asset or integrating actuation into your own product, our engineers can help you match torque, speed, failsafe and communications to the application.
RIFT Connected Irrigation Systems provide intelligent remote control and monitoring for modern agricultural irrigation. Combining low-power electric actuation with field sensors, solar power and connected data, the system allows operators to monitor soil moisture, flow, temperature and valve performance, helping reduce unnecessary site visits, improve water efficiency and make better irrigation decisions from anywhere.
The RAL 300 and RAL 600 Series are ideally suited to:
With intelligent monitoring, low power operation and advanced connectivity, RIFT SMART Actuators help operators improve efficiency, reduce maintenance costs and gain greater control over critical infrastructure.
The RIFT SMART RAL 300 and RAL 600 Series are more than traditional electric actuators. They are intelligent asset management solutions that provide water companies and infrastructure operators with greater control, visibility and efficiency across critical valve networks.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, the RAL Series combines advanced engineering with SMART technology to deliver precise valve control, real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance. RIFT SMART Actuators continuously monitor performance, providing valuable insights into valve condition, actuator health and system efficiency.
The transition to Net Zero requires more than replacing one energy source with another.
It requires infrastructure that consumes less energy, operates more intelligently and makes better use of available resources.
RIFT’s low-power electric actuation technology can support this transition by enabling:
We are developing actuator technology for a future where infrastructure needs to be more intelligent, more efficient and less dependent on traditional power systems.
