Support flow and temperature control in your system with these intrinsically safe sensors, which sense when a valve is open or closed in volatile areas. Often used in chemical plants and oil and gas facilities, they are ATEX and IECEx internationally certified to protect against explosion where flammable gases and combustible dust are present.

Mount the sensor to your valve actuator, and affix a corresponding activator (sold separately) onto your actuator’s shaft. As the valve opens and closes, the activator rotates until its targets align with the two inductive sensors. Once they’re aligned, your system will know that the valve is either open or closed—providing reliable feedback on your valve’s position. These sensors have a 4-pole M12 plug to connect to NAMUR cables (sold separately), letting you quickly connect and disconnect the sensor from your equipment. Connect them to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to support automated processes. Sensors meet various national and international safety standards, and they’re rated IP67 to protect against dust, washdowns, and temporary submersion.

Save energy by minimizing the loss of compressed air. Unlike other drain valves, these only open when they're full. They close before the reservoir is completely empty, so no air escapes from the system. Install them at low points in your air line after separators, dryers, filters, and aftercoolers.
