Dwyer instruments, inc, Series vpi valve position indicator
Bulletin V-37
The Series VPI Rotary Valve Position Indicators are compact
yet rugged for confined and severe locations. These versatile units
offer visual position indication as well as two internal limit switch-
es. The spring-loaded splined cams require no tools for a quick
and precise adjustment. The Series VPI is available with mechan-
ical or proximity limit switches. The mechanical models feature two
SPDT limit switches. The proximity models feature two solid-state
inductive limit switches eliminating the need for the cams to make
contact with the switches. The NEMA 6 (IP67) rating ensures pro-
tection against the ingress of liquid and debris.
