In industrial processes where liquids, air or gases are used valves serve for dosing and control. There is a wide variety of valve types, butterfly or ball valves being the most common quarter-turn types.
In large plants these valves are seldom operated manually. Mechanical actuation is normally done by separate actuators. The valve position must be monitored electronically. This is necessary to give feedback to the controller when a certain position (e.g. "open" or "closed") is reached and to monitor the valves centrally from a control room.
Mechanical switches are still often used for position feedback on the actuator shaft. For other solutions several proximity switches are used together with a switching target for position detection. Disadvantage of these solutions: Mounting is mechanically complex. During switch mounting the signal wires can be reversed when they are connected in the top-mounted junction box. Where there are temperature fluctuations condensing humidity leads to corrosion and thus malfunction.

The new SMAT continuously detects the position of the cylinder piston within a range of 50 mm. It has an analogue output with an output signal in proportion to the piston position. The integrated OOR (out-of-range) sensor indicates if the piston is outside the sensing range. The connection for evaluating the 0 … 10 V and/or the 4 … 20 mA signal is made directly to analogue inputs.
Typical areas of application in object detection are as follows:
Press-fitting, clamping, position sensing, workpiece replacement
In process monitoring:
Sheet metal handling/production, wear monitoring, quality inspection
- The installation direction of the SMAT in the slot can be chosen freely.
- Contactless measuring principle = wear-free sensing.
- Measuring range is always 50 mm, regardless of cylinder; reproducibility 0.1 mm.

Hall Effect Devices detect magnetic flux density (mainly produced by a permanent magnet) and are used in both movement and position sensing. By integrating the sensing element onto the same silicon as its control logic and interface circuitry, Melexis has produced sensor chips with various degrees of intelligence to suit most applications. Sensing the rotation of shafts (e.g. cam- and crank-shaft) in engine, monitoring movement in motors and actuators, sensing pedal, throttle and steering wheel position, Melexis Hall Devices offer a reliable, contactless method of movement and position detection.
Melexis is a technological leader for the design, development and testing of integrated Hall Effect Devices. Melexis Hall Effect Devices enable an optimal use of the smaller feature sizes of which semiconductor technology is capable today. Therefore, very sophisticated mixed analog-digital signal conditioning circuitry (such as Chopped Analog String, Digital Signal Processing Core, Microcontroller) can be integrated. Most of the devices can withstand the severe automotive conditions despite few external components.

Description:
These Hall-effect devices contain a monolithic integrated circuit which incorporates a Hall element, a linear amplifier, a threshold amplifier, and Schmitt trigger on a single Hallogic® silicon chip. Included on-chip is a band gap voltage regulator to allow operation with a wide range of supply voltages. These devices feature logic level output and provide up to 21 mA of sink current. This allows direct driving of more than 7 TTL loads or any standard logic family using power supplies ranging from 4.5 to 24 volts. Output amplitude is constant at switching frequencies from DC to over 200 kHz. The Uni-Polar turns on with a (logic level “0”) after a sufficient magnetic field from the south pole of a magnet approached the symbolized face of the device (Operating Point) and turns off (logic level “1”) after the magnetic field reached a minimum value. The Bi-Polar latch device turns on (logic level “0”) in the presence of a magnetic south pole and turn off (logic level “1”) when subjected to a magnetic north pole. Both magnetic poles are necessary for operation for Bi-Polar devices. This feature makes these sensors ideal for applications in noncontact switching operations, brushless DC motors and for use with multiple pole magnets.
Features:
- Designed for non-contact switching operations
- Operates over broad range of supply voltages (4.5 V to 24 V)
- Operates with excellent temperature stability in harsh environments
- Drive capability up to 7 TTL loads

The RACO path-sensory system has been specially designed for exactly positioning and switching off electro-magnetic actuators in the final position. Not only is the position ascertained unconventionally by electro-magnetic means (e.g., gear-shifting mechanism) while doing so but it will also be determined via a close-coupled magnetic field without any movement.
The EPS consists of a printed circuit board and a magnetic holder with the magnet. The electronic positioning sensor (EPS) is integrated into the device%u2019s supplementary casing (A) on the motor shaft's end of the servo-motor or in the device's supplementary box (D) on the coupling casing. The installation, commissioning (starting up), maintenance (servicing) and upgrading is simplified in comparison with a conventional design that has mechanical limit switches and a shift transmission which must be adjusted individually.

Magnetic Reed Switches
Magnetic reed switches are available on nearly all air cylinders offered with Ultramation Linear Thrusters. Reed switches are actuated by the close proximity of a magnet which is included within the cylinder as part of the piston assembly. A reed switch contains a normally open sealed reed that closes or makes in the presence of a magnetic field. The reed switch returns to the normally open state once the magnetic field is removed. Reed switches, both with and without LED position indicators, are used in the vast majority of applications where the magnetic piston briefly comes to rest at each end of the stroke.

Different versions available.
Position switches are used to monitor the position of moving parts of machines and plant. Can be used in safety circuits, as the device satisfies EN 60947-5-1 / DIN VDE 0660 part 200, and the opening contacts are positive opening. The position switch with positive opening contacts has been tested to the professional association test standard GS-ET 15 of the German Employer Liability Insurance Association, and is thus licensed for personnel protection functions. Category 1 safety position switches have contact and actuating element in a single constructional and functional unit.

Safety-/ position switches
Monitoring safe positions with LS-Titan
safety position switches From material handling systems to plastic injection moulding; from car washes to doors on trams: the position switches LS-Titan are used wherever there is exact positioning requirement.
The analog position switch with a voltage or current output also enables a range of new applications for the LS-Titan, where mechanical position detection could only provide insufficient information up to now – for example, detecting the position with opened flaps for flue gasses.
World innovation – the electronic position switch LSE-Titan®
electronic position switch The electronic position switch LSE has an operating point that can be set variably. Two fast and bounce-free PNP switch outputs enable high switching frequencies. They are protected against short-circuit and overload and are equipped with an abrupt switching behaviour. This guarantees a defined and reproducible operating point.
The actual operation point is in a range between 0.5 mm to 5.5 mm (supplied ex-works = 3 mm). The setting to the “new” operating point is performed as follows: The plunger must be moved from the “old” to the “new” operating position. Now the set button should be pressed for a duration of 1 sec. The LED now flashes with a higher pulse frequency and the new operation point is set retentively.
