Electric Actuators

Re-engineering industrial applications with electric actuation

IPT Engineering re-engineers existing industrial applications with electric actuation. We look after the whole project, from the first enquiry and site survey through to supply, installation, commissioning and long-term support, using our own dedicated team.

Our experience covers power stations, glass works, energy from waste, steel works, refineries, gypsum works and limestone plants. We are the UK agent for Beck electric actuators, and use them across our projects. Every Beck drive is sold complete with a three year warranty.

What We Do

Re-engineering Existing Applications

We re-engineer existing applications using Beck electric actuators, including fan vanes, dampers, valves, diverter gates and fluid coupling controls. In many cases we have retrofit mounting plates to allow quick, drop-in upgrades of existing actuators.

Application Reviews & Site Surveys

We review the application and survey the site, so the right drive is selected for the duty from the start. Product demonstrations are also available.

Specification Writing

We can write the actuator specification for new installations, based on the application review.

Supply

We supply Beck electric actuators, and every Beck drive is sold complete with a three year warranty. If your existing actuator is obsolete or no longer supported, send us the nameplate details or photographs through Find a Part and we will help identify a replacement.

Installation & Commissioning

Our own dedicated team provides installation and commissioning assistance on all our drives, supported by the Beck Link Assist™ programme.

Training & Aftersales Support

Aftersales support is available 24/7, including troubleshooting assistance, spares support and field service engineers. We can also provide on-site training.

Water & Wastewater Treatment

Under AMP8, water companies are being asked to reduce equipment failure, move to proactive maintenance and improve the resilience of critical assets. Continuous modulating duties on critical valves and dampers are a good fit for Beck actuators, which have no duty limits and no routine maintenance requirements.

We are happy to arrange discussions and product demonstrations for water companies and their contractors. The full case is set out on our Beck Electric Actuators page.

Beck Electric Actuators

We supply and support the Beck range of electric actuators. Beck's no-burnout motor allows true continuous modulation with no duty limits, and the drives have no routine maintenance requirements. Every Beck drive is sold complete with a three year warranty.
