Collection: Positioner

Positioners in industrial automation are devices used to control the position of actuators (such as valves, dampers, or other mechanical devices) based on input signals from control systems. They receive a control signal (usually from a PLC, DCS, or SCADA system) and adjust the actuator’s position to match the desired setpoint. Positioners are crucial in industries like oil and gas, chemical, power generation, and manufacturing, where precise control of valves and other equipment is necessary to optimize processes. They ensure accurate positioning, reduce mechanical wear, and improve system efficiency and performance.
