Damcos Valve position indicator
The Valve Position Indicator is precision gear motor with a display that indicates the flow of a oil volume that goes trough the unit. According to the glow and flow direction of the fluid the gear wheels will rotate. A built-in mini gear box with a gear ratio, chosen to suit the actuator displacement in question, transfers the gear motor movement to the indicator shaft. Between the gear motor and the indicator shaft, there is no mechanical connection.
A magnetic clutch transfers the rotary movement of the hydraulic gear wheels to the indicator. This eliminates the possibility of external leakages. The indicator arrow moves within a scale angle which is adjustable between 75°C and 200°C. A small indicator disc mounted firmly on the indicator shaft serves as a leakage indicator.
