FieldQ Valve Actuator - English

From FieldQ
 

 
FieldQ patented, position sensing system: The FieldQ actuator (1) has a patented, contactless position sensing system. This system consists of a position probe (2) which is rides on a special curve (6) in the pinion bottom. The curve is shaped in such a way that the position probe moves linearly and proportionally to the rotation of the actuator pinion. The linear movement of the position probe is tracked by a GMR sensor. This GMR sensor is placed in the protruding part (3) of the Control module (4), which slots in the Pneumatic Module (5). Control Modules: The electronics in the Control Modules converts the signal of the GMR sensor and controls the switch outputs in the terminal compartment of the Control Module. For the Control modules with a bus communication protocol the electronics convert the signal of the GMR sensor to a digital output signal, also positioned in the terminal compartment.

Products & Services
Valve positioners compare a control signal to a valve actuator’s position and move the actuator accordingly. They are used with both linear valves and rotary valves. Search by Specification | Learn more about Valve Positioners
Valve actuators mount on valves and, in response to a signal, move a valve to a desired position using an outside power source. Search by Specification | Learn more about Valve Actuators
Pneumatic valve actuators adjust valve position by converting air pressure into linear or rotary motion. Search by Specification | Learn more about Pneumatic Valve Actuators
