Robust Temposonics® technology means that there are no maintenance or field calibration costs for the sensor, even in harsh environments.
A variety of housing options (including IP69k stainless steel housings) enables installation in many types of applications, including inside cylinders or along a position axis. Analog and digital interfaces are available and the technology inherently produces an absolute position measurement without the need to rehome after a power cycle.
Position readings that deviate from the expected value can be used to detect possible valve malfunctions or preventive maintenance requirements.

Valve Basics: Electric Actuator Controls
Electric valve actuators control the opening and closing of valves. With a motor drive that provides torque to operate the valve, these actuators are frequently used on multi-turn valves such as gate or globe and also on ball, plug and other quarter-turn valves.
