What is an Electric Position Indicator for Solenoid Valves?

12 November 2019

This article will explain what an Electric Position Indicator for Solenoid Valves is, and how it works.

What is an Electric Position Indicator for Solenoid Valves?

This indicator has two magnetic switches; one for the CLOSED and one for the OPEN position of solenoid and pressure actuated valves.

How does it work?

The reed contact of the switch is deflected by a permanent magnet tightly screwed into a spindle. This spindle is connected to the valve piston or stem. These indicators can be mounted with IP65 or EEx protection.
