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.

Solenoid Valves: Direct Acting vs. Pilot-Operated
While presenting in a recent VMA Valve Basics 101 Course in Houston, I found myself in a familiar role: explaining solenoid valves (SOVs) to attendees. (I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on “petting zoo” portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What’s the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?
