In critical infrastructure — from locks and sluices to flood barriers — exposure to water is constant. That’s why ADE-WERK actuators aren’t just rated IP68. They’re built and tested to meet the standard under real-world conditions.
Before delivery, the submersible actuators undergo in-house tests that simulate actual operating scenarios. Whether they’re installed 10 meters underwater or in environments prone to flood events, long-term reliability is non-negotiable.
The IP68 testing includes:
– Stroke operation under full submersion
– Pressure-tightness tests at specific depths and durations
– Verification of sealing performance after immersion cycles
– Functionality checks on integrated limit switches and sensor systems
The result: actuators that remain dry inside, even after prolonged exposure to water, mud, or fluctuating pressure. No oil. No leakage. No surprises. ADE-WERK actuators are a solution that continues to perform — even when submerged for days.
