ifm efector, inc., a leading provider of sensors, controls, and software for industrial automation, introduced its new MVQ301 process valve positioner. The positioner is the third installation in ifm’s MVQ series of pneumatic quarter-turn valve sensors. ifm’s MVQ301 is a valve positioner that also functions as a valve sensor. A valve sensor provides feedback on the valve position, while a valve positioner controls the opening and closing of the valve. The MVQ301 both provides feedback and positions the solenoid valve to an exact degree.
The MVQ301 is the key component of a multi-part design, making it easy to replace individual components if one piece fails or is damaged. Customers will need to purchase the MVQ positioner kit of their choice for their custom application.
