CMCP-VALVE Rotary Potentiometer Valve Position Sensor


Features:

  • 345° Range

  • Rugged Cast Aluminum Housing

  • 0 to 5,000Ω Output

The working component of the CMCP-VALVE valve position transmitter is a precision long-life rotary potentiometer. Attached to the end of the steam valve control shaft on a large steam turbine, the Valve Position Transducer provides a voltage proportional to the valve’s position. The Valve Position Transducer is directly compatible with the CMCP-549 Valve Position Transmitter, which provides excitation voltage and outputs a 4-20 mA analog signal proportionate to the percentage of valve opening.

 

The output shaft is supported with a rolling-element bearing pressed into the housing. The output shaft is connected to the potentiometer with a torsionally rigid flex-coupling. This coupling compensates for minor offset and/or angular misalignment, thereby reducing lateral loading on the potentiometer.
