31-2 Limit Switch Assembly
The Model 31-2 Dual Limit Switch Assembly is a device that uses movement of the valve stem to make or break electrical contacts at two designated points in the valve travel (typically full open and full closed). It consists of an adaptor threaded into the center port of the valve bonnet, a rod threaded into the main valve stem, a heavy-duty stem seal, two actuating collars, and two switch units. It may be installed on virtually any OCV control valve, and can be done so without any disassembly of the valve itself.
- Provides electrical indication of two different valve positions.
- Adjustable to any point of valve travel.
- Heavy-duty stem seal.
- Installed without disassembly of valve.
- Available in weatherproof or explosion-proof enclosures.
- SPDT contacts (standard) DPDT (optional)
