Damcos Valve Position Indicator


The Damcos VPI is designed to locally and remotely indicate the position of hydraulic operated actuators. The VPI can be placed with the directional valve on a common manifold remote from the actuator. This way it avoids cables and direct mounted installations in the field and the additional costs. 

The Volumetric Position Indicator type VPI is designed to locally and remotely indicate the position of hydraulically operated Actuators. The VPI can be placed with the directional valve on a common manifold remote from the Actuator, thus avoiding cables and direct mounted installations in the field and the costs involved. This way, problems are overcome as to detecting the valve positionwhen the actuator is submerged and/or installed in hazardous areas.By measuring the actual quantity of oil flowing to or from the actuator, the position of the valve is indicated by the VPI.
