Product Overview
The STONEL QX2VCK02SDM is an explosionproof valve position switch that converts mechanical valve movement into electrical signals. These signals are transmitted to control systems such as PLCs, DCS platforms, and safety monitoring units, ensuring accurate real-time feedback of valve status.
This model is suitable for installation on a wide range of actuated valves and supports both process control and safety-related applications.
Explosionproof Design and Operational Safety
Safety is a fundamental design consideration for the QX2VCK02SDM. The switch features a robust explosionproof enclosure designed to contain internal ignition and prevent flame transmission to the surrounding atmosphere. This allows safe operation in hazardous areas where flammable gases or vapors may be present.
The enclosure is built to withstand mechanical impact, corrosion, and environmental stress, ensuring reliable operation in outdoor and industrial environments.
Switching Performance and Signal Stability
The internal switching mechanism of the QX2VCK02SDM is designed for accuracy and repeatability. Each valve actuation produces a clear and consistent electrical signal that precisely reflects the actual valve position.
Key performance benefits include:
Reliable open and closed position detection
Stable signal output during frequent operation
High mechanical durability for extended service life
These features help reduce signal errors and improve overall automation system stability.
Visual Position Indication
To enhance usability in the field, the QX2VCK02SDM is equipped with a clear visual position indicator. This allows operators and maintenance personnel to quickly verify valve status during inspections or routine maintenance.
Visual indication improves efficiency by reducing reliance on control room confirmation and supports faster troubleshooting in large industrial facilities.
