Proximity® Detector™ is perfect for position indication of linear valves.

The Detector™ is perfect for positive indication of open or closed status of linear valves. The Detector™ is a position switch that is tripped by an actuator that contains a magnet. The compact Detector™ is easily mounted onto a linear valve body with its standard mounting nuts. The actuator is a bolt that can easily be attached to the valve shaft or valve moving parts. As the actuator bolt comes in proximity to the Detector™, the magnet activates the switch giving an output verifying valve position. The examples above show the Detector™ used with a linear pneumatic actuator that could be connected to a globe or diaphragm valve and used with a linear knife gate valve.

Harsh applications are great uses for the Detector™. The Detector™ is constructed of 316 SS and is hermetically sealed, explosion-proof, and intrinsically safe. The Detector™ can also be mounted in any position.
