Inductive Valve Position Sensors

ifm efector sensors are designed to provide a simple and reliable method of monitoring the on/off position of automated and manual valves. These sensors are solid state with no moving parts that can wear or break. Housings are IP67 sealed and constructed to withstand hose-down conditions and harsh chemicals.

 Unique Proximity Switch Families

Inductive proximity switches for rising stem valves
IS series switches are ideal for sensing the "open and closed" position of a rising stem valve. The miniature IS series sensors are mounted in the valve top for non-contact sensing of the stem.
Inductive proximity switches for quarter-turn valve position
ifm efector IND switches are solid state with no moving parts that can wear out or break. The IND sensor and target puck form a non-contact feedback system that is a reliable replacement for switchboxes.
