MTS Sensors: Control Valves Benefit from MTS Sensors’ Absolute Position Feedback

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.
