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.

What are the benefits of a noncontact electric position indicator for solenoid valves?

• Emission-proof, switching magnet incorporated in valve system

• Easily mounted in any position

• Small valve strokes detected

• Accurately reproducible switching points

• Glass fibre reinforced thermoplastic housing

• Good mechanical and electrical durability
