Rotork YT-3303 Smart Valve Positioner Digital Control Valve Positioner for Industrial Valves
The Rotork YT-3303 Smart Positioner (Potentiometer Type) is a robust, microprocessor-based valve positioner engineered to deliver precise control of valve stroke using a standard 4-20 mA input signal. Designed as part of the YT-3300 series with new software, it combines proven potentiometer feedback technology with advanced auto-calibration and PID control for consistent, repeatable performance in demanding industrial environments.
- Large LCD display with intuitive 4-button interface for easy status monitoring and configuration
- Ultra-fast 0.5-second boot time minimizes valve travel during power interruptions
- Stable operation under fluctuating supply pressure or high vibration conditions
- Extremely low air consumption (below 2 LPM at idle) for reduced operating costs
- Field-installable orifices to eliminate hunting and optimize performance
- Modular construction for simplified maintenance
- IP66 / Type 4X (FM) enclosure with corrosion-resistant polyester powder coating
- SIL2 certified for safety-critical applications

Q: What makes the YT-3303 different from the YT-3300?
A: The YT-3303 uses a proven potentiometer for position feedback, while the YT-3300 employs a non-contact sensor (NCS).
Q: Can the positioner be installed in explosive atmospheres?
A: Yes — it holds comprehensive intrinsic safety certifications worldwide.
Q: Is HART communication available?
A: Yes, as an optional feature (suffix code 2).
