At RIFT Actuators, we’re not just building electric actuators—we’re redefining what’s possible in valve automation. Founded in 2011 in the heart of Malvern, UK, our mission is bold: to revolutionise the electric actuator industry with innovative, energy-efficient, and highly adaptable solutions that empower industries worldwide. From water utilities to oil and gas, marine, chemical processing, and power generation, our cutting-edge technology delivers unmatched performance, reliability, and sustainability.

 

RIFT Actuators

Our Story

RIFT Actuators was born from a vision to push the boundaries of electric actuator technology. We set out to create actuators that combine exceptional torque, seamless integration, and ease of installation with a commitment to energy efficiency. The result? Our patented RIFT Technology (Reduced Induction Field Technology), a multi-motor system that enhances power-to-weight ratios while significantly reducing inrush current. This innovation powers our ‘SMART’ Actuator range, designed to deliver precision, efficiency, and real-time diagnostics for a wide range of applications.

With offices in the UK and the US, we’re proud to serve a global clientele, providing tailored valve and actuator assemblies that meet the unique demands of each project. Whether you’re automating Ball Valves, Gate Valves, Globe Valves, Butterfly Valves, or specialised configurations like Pressure-reducing Valves or Water Meter Control Valves, our solutions are engineered for compatibility with Standard ISO Flanges, Drive Adapters, and Custom Mounting Configurations.
