Product Name
Micro Switch — Valve Limit Switch Box with Position Indication (NAMUR)
Product Summary
A valve limit switch box that reports whether your valve is open or closed. Mechanical limit switches inside send the position signal back to your control room for remote monitoring and safety interlocks.
NAMUR standard mounting — it fits on top of any NAMUR-compatible actuator, so it works across pneumatic and electric automation. Tell us your actuator when ordering.
ISO 9001 · CE · Manufacturer since 1999
Product Description
Automation only works if you can verify it. This limit switch box tells you — and your control system — whether a valve is actually open or closed. It mounts on top of the actuator and houses mechanical limit switches that trip as the valve reaches each end position, sending an electrical signal back to the control room.
If a valve fails to reach its position, the switch does not send its signal, and your system can raise an alarm before the fault causes a problem. That makes it a component you rely on for process safety, not just convenience.
What It Does
- Position feedback: confirms open or closed status to the control room for remote monitoring.
- Safety interlocks: lets the system block an action — like starting a pump — until a valve is in the right position.
- Fault detection: a missing signal flags a valve that is stuck or has failed to move.

Why NAMUR Mounting Matters
Because the box follows the NAMUR standard, it is not tied to one actuator brand. The same switch box drops onto any NAMUR-compatible pneumatic or electric actuator, so you can standardize on one position-feedback part across a plant instead of stocking a different unit for every actuator.
Where It Is Used
- Control rooms — remote monitoring of valve status across the plant.
- Safety interlocks — confirming valves are closed before maintenance starts.
- Automated lines — verifying each valve reached its commanded position.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a valve limit switch box do?
It reports the valve’s position. Mechanical switches inside trip when the valve reaches its open or closed end position and send an electrical signal to your control system, so you know the valve’s status without standing next to it.
Is it NAMUR standard?
Yes. It mounts to the NAMUR standard on top of the actuator, so it fits any NAMUR-compatible pneumatic or electric actuator rather than one specific brand.
What type of switches does it use?
Mechanical limit switches. They trip on contact as the valve reaches each end position.
Why is position feedback important?
Automation assumes a valve moved when commanded. The switch box verifies it actually did. If the signal is missing, the control system can raise an alarm or hold an interlock before a mis-positioned valve causes a problem.
Which actuators does it fit?
Any NAMUR-compatible actuator. Tell us the actuator you are using so we can confirm the fit.
