Encoders . Encoders are sensors used to detect position. They can be linear, or rotational. The problem with linear encoders is that they have to travel the entire length of their range. Linear encoders, therefore, are long and expensive. Rotational encoders, on the other hand, are small and relatively cheap and less unwieldy.
Valve Actuator. â¢ Description: A valve actuator (See Figure 1) is a pneumatic or electric mechanism used in process control systems to automatically open or close valves. In standard valves, when the valve is given a command to open to a certain point, there is no feedback to verify that it has opened to that position. â¢ Potential Applications: Valve actuators can be used with either linear or rotary valves in industrial, medical, food and beverage, and transportation applications.
